Preliminary results are reported for measurements of the ratio of the electric form
factor to the magnetic form factor of the neutron, GEn/GMn, obtained via recoil polarimetry from the
quasielastic 2H(e,
e¢n) 1H
reaction at Q2 values of 0.45, 1.13, and 1.45 (GeV/c)2. The
measurements, conducted in Hall C of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility,
together with other recent polarization measurements, are the result of a decade long
effort to establish a firm experimental database for the important, but elusive, electric
form factor of the neutron.
