Data obtained in two experiments in Hall A at Jefferson Lab, have demonstrated that the elastic form factor ratio G_Ep/G_Mp decreases linearly with increasing invariant four momentum squared Q^2, starting at 1 GeV^2. The second experiment gave a value of μ_pG_Ep/G_Mp=0.278±0.087 at Q^2=5.6 GeV^2. A third experiment has been approved at JLab; it will extend the Q^2-range to 9 GeV^2. The new experiment will be performed in Hall C, where the High Momentum Spectrometer will be detecting the 5.75 GeV/c recoil proton corresponding to Q^2=9 GeV^2. A recent calibration with polarized protons at the Synchrophasotron in Dubna has shown that the analyzing power of CH2 is still large for 5.75 GeV/c protons. The experiment requires a new focal polarimeter for the HMS, as well as a large calorimeter with good angular resolution to detect the electrons; such a detector is currently being designed. We will present several aspects of the physics investigated and of the instrumentation required for this experiment.
