The experimental observables for the elastic reaction induced by protons scattering from electrons are calculated in the Born approximation. The differential cross section and polarization observables have been derived assuming one-photon exchange. Numerical estimates are given for spin correlation coefficients, polarization transfer coefficients, and depolarization coefficients in a wide kinematical range. Specific attention is given to the kinematical conditions; that is, to the specific range of incident energy and transferred momentum.
