GMn Analysis Status from Q<sup>2</sup> = 4.5 (GeV/c)<sup>2</sup> Quasi-elastic Electron-Deuterium Scattering at ε = 0.52 and ε = 0.80
ORAL
Abstract
In Fall of 2021 at Jefferson Lab, the SBS Collaboration measured the quasi-elastic neutron/proton cross section ratio via d(e,e')p and d(e,e')n scattering events at several kinematic points with the Super Bigbite Spectrometer (SBS). Via the so-called “ratio” method employed to minimize systematic uncertainty, we will extract the neutron magnetic form factor GMn (experiment e12-09-019) from these data for many Q2 values. The status of this extraction and analysis will be presented for two such kinematic points at the same Q2, but different longitudinal polarizations of the virtual photon, comprising the nTPE (experiment e12-20-010) data set (SBS-8(9), Q2 = 4.5 (GeV/c)2, ε = 0.80(0.52)). Essential to this analysis is evaluation of the proton and neutron detection efficiency for the SBS hadron arm from the SBS Hadron Calorimeter (HCal) - preliminary evaluation of this efficiency including data/monte-carlo comparisons will also be presented.
