Abstract
The ratio of the electromagnetic proton elastic form factors, G(p)(E)/G(p)(M), has been measured at Jefferson Lab up to Q(2) approximately 9(GeV/c)(2), by using the CEBAF 6GeV electron beam, and revealing an unexpected and challenging physical behaviour. The 2014 scheduled 12GeV upgrade will allow the measurement of G(p)(E)/G(p)(M) up to Q(2) approximately 15(GeV/c)(2), by taking advantage of the new large-acceptance forward spectrometer Super BigBite (SBS) in Hall A. Measurements of neutron form factors in the region around 10(GeV/c)(2), where quark confinement plays an important role, are expected to show the behaviour already observed in the proton case.
