The proton is the lightest baryon and its internal structure and dynamics can be better understood through the study of its electromagnetic(EM) form factors. In the space-like region there are plenty of statistics already collected by previous experiments and the form factors are very well known. This is not the case of the time-like(TL) region. In the TL region, the ratio of the EM form factors is only known to 11-24% level and the form factors have never been extracted without previous assumption.
BESIII (Beijing Spectrometer III) at BEPCII (Beijing Electron Positron Collider II) is collecting large data samples at J/Ψ, Ψ′′ and XYZ energy range. These data can be used to measure proton EM form factors with ISR (Initial-State-Radiation) method e+e−→ p pγISR. In addition, an energy scan between 2.0 and 3.1 GeV is currently being considered by BESIII. This would make possible the measurement of the proton EM form factors using the process e+e− → p p. Both methods will be summarized in this talk.
