Electromagnetic proton form factors in dual large-$N_c$ QCD: an update

An updated determination is presented of the electric and magnetic form factors of the proton, in the framework of a dual-model realization of QCD in the limit of an infinite number of colors. Very good agreement with data is obtained in the space-like region up to $ q^2 simeq - ,30 ,{GeV}^2$. In particular, the ratio $mu_P , G_E(q^2) / G_M(q^2)$ is predicted in very good agreement with recoil polarization measurements from Jefferson Lab, up to $q^2 simeq - 8.5 ,{GeV}^2$. end{abstract}
