Dispersion - theoretical analysis of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors : Inclusion of time – like data

نویسنده

چکیده

We update a recent dispersion–theoretical fit to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors by including the existing data in the time–like region. We show that while the time–like data for the proton can be described consistently with the existing world space–like data, this is not the case for the neutron. Another measurement of the process e+e− → n̄n is called for. We furthermore sharpen the previous estimate of the separation between the perturbative and the non–perturbative regime, which is characterized by a scale parameter Λ2 ≃ 10GeV2.

Nucleon Form Factors in Dispersion Theory

Dispersion relations provide a powerful tool to analyse the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon both in the space-like and time-like regions with constraints from other experiments, unitarity, and perturbative QCD. We give a brief introduction into dispersion theory for nucleon form factors and present first results from our ongoing form factor analysis. We also calculate the two-pion c...

Nucleon form factors: From the space–like to the time–like region

I discuss how dispersion relations can be used to analyse the nucleon electromagnetic form factors, with particular emphasis on the constraints from unitarity and pQCD. Results for nucleon radii, vector-meson couplings, the onset of pQCD and bounds on the strangeness form factors are presented. The em form factors in the time–like region reveal some interesting physics which is not yet understo...

Nucleon Electroweak Form Factors: Analysis of Their Spectral Functions

We investigate the imaginary parts of the nucleon electromagnetic and axial form factors close to threshold in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. For the isovector electromagnetic form factors, we recover the well known strong enhancement near threshold. For the isoscalar ones, we show that there is no visible enhancement due to the three–pion continuum. This justifies th...

Structure of the Nucleon from Electromagnetic Space-like and Time-like Form Factors

Recent experimental data on space-like and time-like form factors of the nucleon are reviewed in light of a model of the nucleon with an intrinsic (quark-like) structure and a meson cloud. The analysis points to the astonishing result that the proton electric space-like form factor vanishes at Q ∼ 8 (GeV/c) and becomes negative beyond that point. The intrinsic structure is estimated to have a r...

Nucleon electromagnetic form factors and polarization observables in space-like and time-like regions

We perform a global analysis of the experimental data of the electromagnetic nucleon form factors, in space-like and time-like regions. We give the expressions of the observables in annihilation processes, such as p + p → l + l−, l = e or μ, in terms of form factors. We discuss some of the phenomenological models proposed in the literature for the space-like region, and consider their analytica...
