Description
Nucleon elastic form factors encode crucial information about its charge and magnetization distributions. For many decades, nucleon form factors were studied by using unpolarized electron-nucleon cross section measurements. The advent of electron beams with higher luminosities and beam polarization coupled with large acceptance detectors, polarized targets and recoil polarimeters enabled a wealth of information on nucleon form factors over a broad range of momentum transfer (
The goal of the SBS (Super Bigbite Spectrometer) physics program in Hall A at Jefferson Lab is to conduct a series of experiments to measure the electric and magnetic form factors of the proton and the neutron at an unprecedentedly high
