A mistake in the computer program performing the power law fit of the numerical computation of the hadron attenuation ratio R M has been detected. The mistake affects all fits which include the Xe nucleus. Below we present corrected results for table 2 and Figs. 8-10.Based on the corrected calculation we revise our conclusion in ref. [1]. The A 2/3 power law for 1 − R M in the absorption model remains also after including the Xe nucleus in the (c,α) fit.
The negative kaon electromagnetic form factor has been measured in the space-like q2 range 0.015-0.10 (GeV/c)2 by the direct scattering of 250 GeV kaons from electrons at the CERN SPS. It is found that the kaon mean square charge radius = 0.34 +/- 0.05 fm2. From data collected simultaneously for πe scattering, the difference between the charged pion and kaon mean square radii (which is less sensitive to systematic errors) is found to be -
We report a measurement of the negative pion electromagnetic form factor in the range of space-like four-momentum transfer 0.014 < q2 < 0.122 (GeV/c)2. The measurement was made by the NA7 collaboration at the CERN SPS, by observing the interaction of 300 GeV pions with the electrons of a liquid hydrogen target. The form factor is fitted by a pole form with a pion radius of = 0.657 +- 0.012 fm
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
