An investigation was made of high-energy electron scattering in which q/ sup 2/, the square of the four-momentum transfer, ranged to 25 f/sup -2/ at 66 and 112 deg . The procedure is outlined for (a) 66 deg scattering of 587, 684, 781, 879, and 1034 Mev electrons; (b) l12 deg scattering of 320 and 781 Mev electrons; and (c) protons recoiling at 66 deg from electron scattering at 684, 781, 982. 1034. 1173, and 1205 Mev. The counting rate was measured in the region of the peak for the 66 deg scattering of 982, 1085, 1173, and 1215 Mev electrons, and for the 112 deg scattering of 909 Mev electrons. The correspcnding cross sections were evaluated using the line shape established in the full sets of measurements. The results of this experiment agree well with Stanford data in the overlapping areas. No change was indicated in the conclusion of Hofstadter et al. that the root mean square radii are approx equal 0.8f. (B.O.G.)
