Abstract

Measurements of the

μ - p

elastic cross section in the range

0.15 < q^{2} < 0.85

{(G e V / c)}^{2}

are compared with similar

e - p

data. We find an apparent disagreement between the muon and electron experiments which can possibly be accounted for by a combination of systematic normalization errors.
