We present a precise measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor G mn at low momentum transfer ( q = 1.69 fm −1 ). From a simultaneous measurement of D ( e , e ′ n ) and D ( e , e ′ p ) we obtain the ratio of neutron and proton cross sections. The neutron detection efficiency is obtained from a separate measurement using tagged neutrons produced by H ( n , p ) n scattering of a monochromatic neutron beam. In contrast to previous determinations of G mn , the present value is insensitive to the systematic uncertainties in the interpretation of the data in terms of G mn and represents a determination of G mn to ±1.7%.
