Title: Measurements of the proton elastic-form-factor ratio {mu}{sup p}G{sup p}{sub E}/G{sup p}{sub M} at low momentum transfer.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.

High-precision measurements of the proton elastic form-factor ratio, {mu}{sub p}G{sup p}E/G{sup p}M, have been made at four-momentum transfer, Q{sup 2}, values between 0.2 and 0.5 GeV{sup 2}. The new data, while consistent with previous results, clearly show a ratio less than unity and significant differences from the central values of several recent phenomenological fits. By combining the new form-factor ratio data with an existing cross-section measurement, one finds that in this Q{sup 2} range the deviation from unity is primarily due to G{sup p}E being smaller than expected.
