The latter paper contains a brief discussion of renormalization; for a completer treatment seeR. Genolio (to appear in theNuovo Cimento).

  7. The proton’sEM vertex now involves four new dynamical form factorsF 3, …,F 6, which → 0 as λ → 0, and therefore give small corrections 0(λ2) to the cross-section.

  8. The subscript ┴ (see ref. (6) Basic paper:. is not to be confused with the ┴ often meaning «transverse to the incident beam».

  11. More recent data show that the experimental points forG E in Fig. 1 are too high in the intermediateq 2 range, according toR. Wilson (private communication), and that the bump aroundq 2 ≈ 0.8 (GeV/c)2 may not be real. Thus the experimental value ofx 0, which was simply chosen in Fig. 1 as 0.2 to fit the data of ref. (1,4), is indicated as larger, perhaps ≈ 1 (cf. Fig. 2).

  13. The renormalization theory for λ>0 shows (6)Basic paper: that the renormalization «constants» are (finite) functions of the relevantk (the 3-momentum in the «measuring frame»), wherek is on the mass shell. ThusZ 1,λ in eq. (11) should properly be replaced by limZ 1,λ(=1).
