The electric form factor of the neutron and its chiral content

الأصل · EN

Considering the nucleon as a system of confined valence quarks surrounded by pions we derive a Galster-like parameterization of the neutron electric form factor Gₑⁿ. Furthermore, we show that the proposed parameterization can be linked to properties of the pion cloud. By this, the high quality data for the pion form factor can be used in predictions of Gₑⁿ in the low Q² region, where the direct double polarization measurements are not available.
