Neutron electromagnetic form factors and inclusive scattering of polarized electrons by polarized ${}^3$He and ${}^3$H targets

Abstract

The electromagnetic inclusive responses of polarized ${}^3$He and ${}^3$H are thoroughly investigated at the quasielastic peak for squared momentum transfers up to $2(GeV/c{)}^2$, within the plane wave impulse approximation. Great emphasys is put on the effects in the bound-state due to different two- and three-body nuclear forces, and to the Coulomb interaction as well. A careful analysis of the polarized responses allows to select possible experiments for minimizing the model dependence in the extraction of the neutron electromagnetic form factors. In particular, the relevant role played by the proton in the transverse-longitudinal response of polarized ${}^3$He, at low momentum transfer, can be utilized for obtaining valuable information on the proton contribution to the total polarized response and eventually on the neutron charge form factor.
