The structure of 3He and the neutron electric form factor from polarization observables

As there are no free neutron targets one has to resort to the nuclear targets deuterium or helium. In order to reduce nuclear effects blurring the information on nuclear form factors the technique of double polarization experiments had been developed. Recent experiments at MAMI measuring the electric form factor of the neutron are discussed. In addition, other single and double nucleon knockout experiments are described which support the buildup of a consistent interpretation of nuclear structure in 3He.
