    Measurement of inclusive quasielastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized 3He
    (1990-08) Woodward, C.E.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, J.E.; Carr, R.W.; Filippone, B.W.; Lorenzon, W.B.; McKeown, R.D.; Mueller, B.; O'Neill, T.G.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Farkhondeh, M.; Kowalski, S.; Lee, K.; Makins, N.; Milner, R.; Thompson, A.; Tieger, D.; van den Brand, J.; Young, A.; Yu, X.; Zumbro, J.
    We report a measurement of the asymmetry in spin-dependent quasielastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from a polarized 3He gas target. This measurement represents the first demonstration of a new method for studying electromagnetic nuclear structure: the scattering of polarized electrons from a polarized nuclear target. The measured asymmetry is in good agreement with a Faddeev calculation and supports the picture of spin-dependent quasielastic scattering from polarized 3He as predominantly scattering from a polarized neutron.

    Measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor from inclusive quasielastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized 3He
    (1994-08) Gao, A.; Arrington, J.; Beise, E.J.; Bray, B.; Carr, R.W.; Filippone, B.W.; Lung, A.; McKeown, R.D.; Mueller, B.; Pitt, M.L.; Jones, C.E.; DeSchepper, D.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Ent, R.; Farkhondeh, M.; Hansen, J.-O.; Korsch, W.; Kramer, L.H.; Lee, K.; Makins, N.; Milner, R.G.; Teiger, D.R.; Welch, T.P.; Candell, E.; Napolitano, J.; Wojtsekhowski, B.B.; Tripp, C.; Lorenzon, W.
    We report a measurement of the asymmetry in spin-dependent quasielastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from a polarized 3He target. The neutron magnetic form factor GMn has been extracted from the measured asymmetry based on recent PWIA calculations using spin-dependent spectral functions. Our determination of GMn at Q2=0.19 (GeV/c)2 agrees with the dipole parametrization. This experiment represents the first measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor using spin-dependent electron scattering.

    He→3(e→e′) quasielastic asymmetry
    (1993-01) Jones, C.E.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, J.E.; Carr, R.W.; Filippone, B.W.; Lorenzon, W.; McKeown, R.D.; Mueller, B.A.; O'Neill, T.G.; Dodson, G.W.; Dow, K.; Farkhondeh, M.; Kowalski, S.; Lee, K.; Makins, N.; Milner, R.; Thompson, A.; Teiger, D.; van den Brand, J.F.L.; Young, A.; Yu, X.; Zumbro, J.D.
    Measurements of the spin-dependent asymmetry in scattering longitudinally polarized electrons from polarized He3 at quasielastic kinematics are reported. The measurements were made at two kinematics and spin angles, one sensitive to the helicity-dependent transverse-longitudinal interference response function, RTL′, and the other to the helicity-dependent transverse response function, RT′. For the experiment a metastability exchange optically pumped polarized He3 target was used; a general discussion of the technique used to polarized the He3, along with the details of the design and operation of the target system, are presented here. A comparison is made of the world’s data on the He→3(e→,e′) quasielastic asymmetry with several theoretical predictions, including calculations that use the plane wave impulse approximation and a fully spin-dependent spectral function. There is good agreement between data and theory at the current level of experimental precision.

    Determination of the neutron electric form factor in quasielastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized 3He
    (1991-08) Jones-Woodward, C.E.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, J.E.; Carr, R.W.; Filippone, B.W.; Lorenzon, W.; McKeown, R.D.; Mueller, B.A.; O'Neill, T.G.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Farkhondeh, M.; Kowalski, S.; Lee, K.; Makins, N.; Milner, R.; Thompson, A.; Teiger, D.; van den Brand, J.F.L.; Young, A.; Yu, X.; Zumbro, J.D.
    We report a measurement of the asymmetry in spin-dependent quasielastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from a polarized 3He gas target. The asymmetry is measured at kinematics sensitive to the transverse-longitudinal response function RTL(Q2,ω). The value of the neutron electric form factor GEn(Q2=0.16 (GeV/c2))=+0.070±0.100±0.035 is extracted from the asymmetry using a Faddeev calculation of the 3He wave function.

    Parity-violating Electron Deuteron Scattering and the Proton’s Neutral Weak Axial Vector Form Factor

    We report on a new measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in quasielastic electron scat- tering from the deuteron at backward angles at Q2 = 0.038 (GeV/c)2. This quantity provides a de- termination of the neutral weak axial vector form factor of the nucleon, which can potentially receive large electroweak corrections. The measured asymmetry A = −3.51 ± 0.57 (stat) ± 0.58 (sys) ppm is consistent with theoretical predictions. We also report on updated results of the previous experiment at Q2 = 0.091 (GeV/c)2, which are also consistent with theoretical predictions.
