Pauli radius of the proton

Abstract

Using a procedure based on interpolation via continued fractions supplemented by statistical sampling, we analyse proton magnetic form factor data obtained via electron+proton scattering on $Q^2\in [0.027,0.55]$GeV${}^2$ with the goal of determining the proton magnetic radius. The approach avoids assumptions about the function form used for data interpolation and ensuing extrapolation onto $Q^2\simeq 0$ for extraction of the form factor slope. In this way, we find $r_M=0.817(27)$fm. Regarding the difference between proton electric and magnetic radii calculated in this way, extant data are seen to be compatible with the possibility that the slopes of the proton Dirac and Pauli form factors, $F_{1,2}(Q^2)$, are not truly independent observables; to wit, the difference $F_1^{\prime }(0)-F_2^{\prime }(0)/{\kappa }_p=[1+{\kappa }_p]/[4m_p^2]$, viz. the proton Foldy term.
