DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.0225010031-9007http://hdl.handle.net/10919/24484We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry in elastic scattering of transversely polarized 3 GeV electrons from unpolarized protons at Q(2)=0.15, 0.25 (GeV/c)(2). The results are inconsistent with calculations solely using the elastic nucleon intermediate state and generally agree with calculations with significant inelastic hadronic intermediate state contributions. A(n) provides a direct probe of the imaginary component of the 2 gamma exchange amplitude, the complete description of which is important in the interpretation of data from precision electron-scattering experiments.en-USIn Copyrightnucleon scatteringPhysicsArticle - Refereedhttp://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.092301https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.092301
