Measurement of the Elastic Magnetic Form Factor of 3He at High Momentum Transfer
Physical Review Letters
(2001)
Abstract
New electron scattering measurements have been made that extend data on the 3He elastic magnetic form factor up to Q2 = 42.6fm-2. These new data test theoretical conjectures regarding non-nucleonic effects in the three-body system. The very small cross sections, as low as 10-40cm2/sr, required the use of a high-pressure cryogenic gas target and a detector system with excellent background rejection capability. No existing theoretical calculation satisfactorily accounts for all the available data.
