<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons, along with electrons, constitute the fundamental building blocks of the visible universe. Understanding their internal
structure is crucial for addressing key scientific questions about our origin and existence. Elastic electron-nucleon scattering provides insights into the spatial distributions of charge and current within nucleons through their electromagnetic form factors.
Accurate knowledge of these form factors over a broad range of Q<sup>2</sup>, the squared four-momentum transfer in the scattering process, reveals details about the nucleon's internal structure. However, high-Q<sup>2</sup> data of the nucleon electromagnetic
form factor is scarce due to the challenges associated with such measurements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">This thesis reports preliminary results from high-precision measurements of the neutron magnetic form factor (GMn) to unprecedented Q<sup>2</sup> using Durand's method,
also known as the “ratio” method. Systematic errors are greatly reduced by extracting (GMn) from the ratio of neutron-coincident (D(e,e’n)) to proton-coincident (D(e,e’p)) quasi-elastic electron scattering from deuteron. The scattered electrons were detected
in the BigBite spectrometer, which features multiple Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) layers with large active area for high-precision tracking at very high rates. Simultaneous nucleon detection was performed by the Super BigBite spectrometer, which utilizes
a dipole magnet with large solid angle acceptance at forward angles and a novel hadron calorimeter with very high and comparable detection efficiencies for both protons and neutrons. This setup could handle very high luminosity, making high-Q<sup>2</sup> measurements
feasible. Data were collected at five Q<sup>2</sup> points: 3, 4.5, 7.4, 9.9, and 13.6 (GeV/c)<sup>2</sup>. Preliminary results are reported for all, with the lowest two Q<sup>2</sup> points in good agreement with existing world data, while the higher points
significantly extend the Q<sup>2</sup> range in which GMn is known accurately. The precision of the highest Q<sup>2</sup> point is expected to remain unmatched for years to come.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
