Abstract
We combine constraints from analyticity with experimental electron-proton scattering data to determine the proton magnetic radius without model-dependent assumptions on the shape of the form factor. We also study the impact of including electron-neutron scattering data, and data. Using representative datasets we find for a cut of GeV, fm using just proton scattering data; fm adding neutron data; and fm adding data. We also extract the neutron magnetic radius from these data sets obtaining fm from the combined proton, neutron, and data.
