Using a data sample of 6.8 pb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider we select about 2700 events of the $e^+e^- \to p\bar{p}$ process and measure its cross section at 12 energy ponts with about 6\% systematic uncertainty. From the angular distribution of produced nucleons we obtain the ratio $|G_{E}/G_{M}| = 1.49 \pm 0.23 \pm 0.30$.

The electromagnetic form factors of the neutron in the time-like region have been measured for the first time, from the threshold up to q 2 ⋟ 6 GeV 2 . The neutron magnetic form factor turns out to be larger than the proton one; the angular distribution suggests that for the neutron, at variance with the proton case, electric and magnetic form factors could be different. Further measurements are also reported, concerning the proton form factors and the Σ Σ production, together with the multihadronic cross section and the J / Γ branching ratio into n n .

The uncertainty on the evaluated cross section is given by the quadratic combination of the following terms: the statistical uncertainty on the number of events, the statistical and systematic uncertainty on the luminosity (about 6PCT), the systematic uncertainty on the efficiency evaluation, dominated by the scanning efficiency contribution (about 15PCT). The SQRT(S) values with (C=NOMIN) and (C=SHIFT) correspond to the nominal energy and shifted energy analysis (see text of paper for details).

The NEUTRON formfactor value are calculated in two hypotheses: GE = GM and GE = 0.
