Abstract

We report a measurement of the asymmetry in spin-dependent quasielastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from a polarized

{}^{3}{He}

target. The neutron magnetic form factor

G_{M}^{n}

has been extracted from the measured asymmetry based on recent PWIA calculations using spin-dependent spectral functions. Our determination of

G_{M}^{n}

Q^{2}

=0.19 (GeV/c

)^{2}

agrees with the dipole parametrization. This experiment represents the first measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor using spin-dependent electron scattering.
