The Transverse Asymmetry ${\mathbf{A}}_{{\mathbf{T}}^{\prime }}$ from Quasi-elastic ${}^3\overrightarrow{\mathrm{He}}(\vec{e},e^{\prime })$ Process and the Neutron Magnetic Form Factor

Abstract

We have measured the transverse asymmetry from inclusive scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from polarized 3He nuclei at quasi-elastic kinematics in Hall A at Jefferson Lab with high statistical and systematic precision. The neutron magnetic form factor was extracted based on Faddeev calculations with an experimental uncertainty of less than 2 %.
