Experimental study measures the electromagnetic form factors of neutrons and protons in a collider experiment, indicating significant findings.
In an experiment at the VEPP-2000 e⁺e⁻ collider, the processes e⁺e⁻ → nn̄ and e⁺e⁻ → pp̄ were studied. The cross section of the e⁺e⁻ → pp̄ process and the ratio | G_E / G_E G_M . -0em G_M | of electric and magnetic formfactors of proton and neutron were measured near the nucleon threshold with the SND detector. The preliminary value of the | G_E / G_E G_M . -0em G_M | ratio for the neutron is consistent with unity, while for the proton this value varies in the range of 1.2 to 1.8.
