Form Factor Ratio @ BATES
New technique: polarized beam and target Exploits unique features of BLAST
» internal target: low dilution, fast spin reversal» large acceptance: simultaneous measurement of all Q2 points » symmetric detector: ratio measurement
Different systematics » insensitive to Pb and Pt
Q2 = 0.07 – 0.9 (GeV/c) 2 » overlap with JLab data
and RpEX (future exp.at Bates to measure rp)
