Abstract
It is shown that for a momentum transfer of Q 2 > 4 M 2, the neutron electric form factor G n E dominates the magnetic one ( G n M ). Therefore G n E can be measured reliably at large momentum transfer. While the proton form factor is dominated by the Dirac-, the neutron form factor in contrast is dominated by the Pauli contribution. Therefore high-momentum measurements can separate both effects. In view of the importance of the nucleon form factors for the underlying strong interaction theory additional precise measurements in the region of momentum transfer: 1 GeV 2 < Q 2 < 10 GeV 2, are of the greatest importance.
