[en] An accurate determination of the electric form factor of the neutron, Gsub(En), is important both for our understanding of the structure of the nucleons, and for the description of electron scattering on nuclear many-body systems. At present only reliable model-independent information on Gsub(En) is available for four-momentum transfer (qsub(μ))²→0 from the scattering of thermal neutrons off atoms. Electron scattering offers the possibility to obtain information at higher (qsub(μ))². However, since electrons can only be scattered off neutrons embedded in a many-body target the extraction of Gsub(En) will in general be affected by nuclear structure uncertainties. Some methods to obtain information on Gsub(En) in e-d experiments are discussed. (Auth.)
