Popis: The determination of the neutron electric formfactor from quasielastic reactions 3H↘e(e↘,e′n) and D(e↘,e′,n↘) respectively is one of the present goals of experiments with polarized electrons at the Mainz race track microtron MAMI. A GaAsP‐photoelectron source is used at MAMI to get an 855 MeV electron beam spinpolarized to a degree of 35% at a current of 10 μA. Polarized 3He‐nuclei are produced by optical pumping metastable 3He. Scattered electrons are detected in coincidence with the recoil neutrons, the transverse spinpolarization of the neutrons may be analyzed by neutron‐proton scattering in a double wall plastic scintillator detector. A subset of the final detector set‐up has been tested successfully now by investigating the polarization transfer to the proton in reactions H(e↘,e′p↘) and D(e↘,e′p↘) and to the neutron in D(e↘,e′n↘) at a 4‐momentum transfer with −Q2=8fm−2. First data from the exclusive quasielastic collision 3H↘e(e↘,e′n) indicate a value of the neutron electric formfactor of GnE=0.035±...
