Abstract

We report measurements of the proton elastic form factors, GEp and GMp, extracted from electron scattering in the range 1≤Q2≤3(GeV/c)2. The uncertainties are <15% in GEp and <3% in GMp. The values of GEp are larger than indicated by most theoretical parameterizations, The ratio of Pauli and Dirac form factors, Q2F2p/F1p, is lower and demonstrates less Q2 dependence than most of these parameterizations. Comparisons are made to theoretical models, including those based on perturbative QCD and vector-meson dominance.
