Extraction of the static magnetic form factor and the structrue function of the neutron from inclusive scattering on light nuclei

Abstract

We show that quasi-elastic inclusive scattering data on light nuclei for medium Q^2 furnish information on $G_M^n$, whereas the deep-inelastic region for large $Q^2$ provides the Structure Function $F_2^n(x,Q^2)$. Common to the two extractions is the possibility to de-convolute medium effects, which is most accurately done for light targets. Results are independent of the target.
