On the Measurement of Sachs Form Factors in Processes without and with Proton Spin Flip

Abstract

The physical meaning of the decomposition of the Rosenbluth formula into two terms containing only squares of Sachs form factors has been established. A new method has been proposed for their independent measurement in the $e\vec{p}\to e\vec{p}$ elastic process when the initial proton at rest is fully polarized along the direction of motion of the final proton.
