Neutron charge form factor at largeq2

Abstract
The neutron charge form factor GEn(q) is determined from an analysis of the deuteron quadrupole form factor FC2(q) data. Recent calculations, based on a variety of different model interactions and currents, indicate that the contributions associated with the uncertain two-body operators of shorter range are relatively small for FC2(q), even at large momentum transfer q. Hence, GEn(q) can be extracted from FC2(q) at large q2 without undue systematic uncertainties from theory.
