Prediction of Neutron Elastic Form Factors Using GPDs from Proton Elastic Form Factors and Isospin Symmetry
Abstract
Description
The elastic neutron form factors $G_{En}$ and $G_{Mn}$ are calculated in a GPD framework using GPDs obtained from fits to proton elastic form factors $G_{Ep}$ and $G_{Mp}$, and isospin symmetry, with no further changes in parameters. The results for $G_{En}$ are in good agreement with existing data, while those for $G_{Mn}$ are fair. The calculations predict the form factors for future measurements at higher $Q^2$.
