Abstract

This note is motivated by preparations of a new epep elastic scattering experiment in the low transfer momentum region to be carried out in the 720 MeV electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI. This experiment will use an innovative method allowing for detection of recoil protons in coincidence with the scattered electrons. The goal is to measure the epep differential cross sections in the Q2Q^2 range from 0.001 GeV2^2 to 0.04 GeV2^2 and to determine the proton charge radius with sub-percent precision.
