Abstract

In this paper, we describe an experiment measuring low-Q2 elastic electron-proton scattering using a newly developed cryogenic supersonic gas jet target in the A1 three-spectrometer facility at the Mainz Microtron. We measured the proton electric form factor within the four-momentum transfer range of 0.01≤Q2≤ 0.045(GeV/c)2. The experiment showed results consistent with the existing measurements. The data we collected demonstrated the feasibility of the gas jet target and the potential of future scattering experiments using high-resolution spectrometers with this gas jet target.
