EVIDENCE FROM ELECTRON SCATTERING ON THE ELEMENTARY NATURE OF THE PHOTON
The differential cross section for the elastic scattering of electrons by protons was measured at angles between 18 and 90 deg and for values of the invariant momentum transfer squared of 4 and 10 fm/sup -2/ in an attempt to detect the effects of the recently suggested Regge pole nature of the photon. The cross sections were in agreement with the predictions of the Rosenbluth formula derived on the assumption that the scattering takes place through the exchange of a single elementary spin-one photon.
