Abstract: (Elsevier)
The rate of the reaction p ̄ p → e + e − has been measured in liquid hydrogen for antiprotons at momentum values between 150 and 300 MeV/ c . New precise values of the proton electromagnetic form factor in the time-like region have been obtained assuming | G e |=| G m | in the investigated region. The q 2 dependence of the form factor close to threshold is found to have a steeper slope than indicated by existing calculations based on vector dominance models.
