Hi,

Attached is a plot of what I showed in yesterday's meeting with the
Friedrich and Walcher curve corrected. Since part of our discussion
centered around the sizable error in the term corresponding to the
location of the bump in GEp, I added/subtracted this error to generate two
addtional curves. The curve with a positive uGEp/GMp ratio in the region
~0.3 GeV^2 is from is with it error added, the one that continuously falls
off is from the error subtracted.

Regards,
Adam
