The ratio of the proton's elastic electromagnetic form factors, G(E(p))/G(M(p)), was obtained by measuring P(t) and P(l), transverse longitudinal recoil proton polarization, respectively. For e-->p-->ep-->, G(E(p))/G(M(p)) is proportional to P(t)/P(l). Simultaneous measurement P(l) in a polarimeter provides good control systematic uncertainty. results for show decrease as Q2 increases from 0.5 3.5 GeV2, indicating first time definite difference spatial distribution charge magnetization...
