Are We Really Measuring the $\rho$-Value?
Abstract
The ``normal'' analysis of and elastic scattering uses a `spinless' Coulomb amplitude, \ie a Rutherford amplitude () multiplied by a Coulomb form factor , an {\em ansatz} that pretends that the nucleon does not have any magnetic scattering. In this note, we investigate the role of the anomalous magnetic moment of the nucleon, . Given the method of analysis currently used by most published experiments, we conclude that the current experimentally inferred values of for should be {\em systemeatically lowered} by ---0.0100 and, correspondingly, the values for should be {\em systematically raised} by the same amount. We discuss the theoretical uncertainties and a method of experimentally minimizing them.
