Improved radiative corrections and proton charge form factor from the Rosenbluth separation technique
arXiv:0903.0309 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.80.064605
Abstract
We investigate whether the apparent discrepancy between proton electric form factor from measurements using the Rosenbluth separation technique and polarization transfer method is due to the standard approximations employed in radiative correction procedures. Inaccuracies due to both the peaking approximation and the soft-photon approximation have been removed in our simulation approach. In contrast to results from (e,e'p) experiments, we find them in this case to be too small to explain the discrepancy.
