Abstract

The elastic magnetic form factor of ${}^{17}O$ has been measured for effective momentum transfers 2.47≤ $q_{eff}$ ≤3.65 ${fm}^{- 1}$ by electron scattering. The form factor drops by almost three decades in this range. The data follow an extreme single-particle Woods-Saxon shell-model calculation. Many-body effects such as meson-exchange currents or core polarization do not seem to play a significant role in the q range of this experiment.
