Abstract

An experiment to measure elastic electron scattering off 3He and 4He at large momentum transfers is presented. The experiment was carried out in the Hall A Facility of Jefferson Lab. Elastic electron scattering off 3He was measured at forward and backward electron scattering angles to extract the isotope's charge and magnetic form factors. The charge form factor of 4He will be extracted from forward‐angle electron scattering angle measurements. The data are expected to significantly extend and improve the existing measurements of the three‐ and four‐body form factors. The results will be crucial for the establishment of a canonical standard model for the few‐body nuclear systems and for testing predictions of quark dimensional scaling and hybrid nucleon‐quark models.
