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.
