E12-14-009: Ratio of the electric form factor in the mirror nuclei 3He and 3H

E12-14-009: We propose to extract the ratio of the electric form factor (G_E) of 3He and 3H from the measured ratio of the elastic-scattering cross sections at E_beam = 1.1 GeV. Measurements at low Q^2 ( < 0.1 GeV^2) will allow accurate extraction of G_E with minimal contributions from the magnetic form factor (G_M) and Coulomb corrections. From this data we will extract the difference between the charge radii for 3He and 3H. This short experiment, 1.5 days, will utilize the left Hall A high resolution spectrometer and the one-time availability of a 1 kCi tritium target at Jefferson Lab which has been approved for the E12-10-103, E12-11-112 and E12-14-011 experiments.
