The proton elastic form factors GEp(Q2) and GMp(Q2) have been extracted for Q2=1.75 to 8.83 (GeV/c)2 via a Rosenbluth separation to ep elastic cross section measurements in the angular range 13°≤θ≤90°. The Q2 range covered more than doubles that of the existing data. For Q2<4 (GeV/c)2, where the data overlap with previous measurements, the total uncertainties have been reduced to < 14% in GEp and < 1.5% in GMp. Results for GEp(Q2) are consistent with the dipole fit GD(Q2)=(1+Q2/0.71)−2, while those for GMp(Q2)/μpGD(Q2) decrease smoothly from 1.05 to 0.92. Deviations from form factor scaling are observed up to 20%. The ratio Q2F2/F1 is observed to approach a constant value for Q2>3 (GeV/c)2. Comparisons are made to vector meson dominance, dimensional scaling, QCD sum rule, diquark, and constituent quark models, none of which fully characterize all the new data.

Electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections have been measured at four-momentum transfers between 1.0 and 3.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 and at electron scattering angles between 10° and 20° and at about 86° in the laboratory. The proton electromagnetic form factors G E and G M were determined. The results indicate that G E ( q 2 ) decreases faster with increasing q 2 than G M ( q 2 ).

Axis error includes +- 2.5/2.5 contribution (Due to counting statisticss, separation of elastic events, beam monitoring, incident energy, scattering angle, proton absorption, solid angle, target length and density).

CONST(NAME=MU) is the magnetic moment.
