Abstract
The longitudinal and transverse polarizations of the outgoing proton were measured for the reaction 1H(→ e , e′ → p) at four-momentum transfer squared of 0.5 to 3.5 GeV2 . The ratio of the electric to magnetic form factors of the proton is proportional to the ratio of the transverse to longitudinal polarizations.
