Abstract

We extract a new value b = 0.0205±0.0017 fm2 of the slope of the neutron form factor GEn(q2) at q2 = 0 compatible with deuteron properties by using a linear relation between b and A2S(1+η2) we found for a class of nonlocal potential models having the experimental values of both rD and Q. Another model dependent value b MHKZ = 0.0206±0.0014 fm2
, which is also compatible with deuteron properties, has been determined by applying ”constrained” unitary transformations to the local MHKZ potential model. The sensitivity of a small changes in the experimental values used for rD and Q on the value obtained for b is also investigated.
