Detailed information on the inner structure of the nucleon is provided by a
ccurate data on the dependence of the nucleon form factors on momentum tran
sfer Q(2). Whereas the proton form factors are known with excellent precisi
on over a. large range of Q(2), data for the neutron are of much poorer qua
lity due to the lack of a free neutron target. However, with today's high d
uty factor, high current electron beam facilities like Jefferson Laboratory
(JLab) and the MAinz MIcrotron (MAMI), and the progress made in polarized
beam and target technology, significant progress in this area is being made
.
