Proton Elastic Form Factor Ratio: the JLab Polarization Experiments

Conference ·
OSTI ID:838459
The ratio of the electric and magnetic proton form factors, G{sub Ep}/G{sub Mp}, has been obtained in two Hall A experiments, from measurements of the longitudinal and transverse polarization of the recoil proton, P{sub l} and P{sub t}, respectively, in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons, {rvec e}p {yields} e{rvec p}. Together these experiments cover the Q{sup 2}-range 0.5 to 5.6 GeV{sup 2}. A new experiment is currently being prepared, to extend the Q{sup 2}-range to 9 GeV{sup 2} in Hall C.
