Abstract

The He3 nucleus has been investigated by means of the elastic electron scattering technique. Experiments were carried out in the energy range 110-650 MeV. Absolute differential cross sections were measured at angles lying between 40° and 135° in the above energy range. Form factors were observed for both the charge density and magnetic moment density of the He3 nucleus. The results indicate that the charge cloud may be represented best by a model similar to a hollow exponential I type of rms radius 2.05 F. The magnetic moment cloud can be represented approximately by a Gaussian model of rms radius 1.66 F. There appears to be a difference between the gross features of the charge and magnetic moment clouds, and the magnetic moment cloud appears to be the more compact of the two.
