Nucleon electromagnetic form factors in the timelike region

Abstract: The electromagnetic form factors of the proton and the neutron in the timelike region are reviewed. In view of the forthcoming experimental projects devoted to investigate these observables, we present the current status of the field and we emphasize the relevant role, that accurate measurements, refined phenomenological analyses, as well as microscopic models will play with the goal of achieving deeper insights into the structure of the nucleon and its inner dynamics.

“…point-like case [9] can be readily found in those publications where experiments for e + e − ↔pp were reported [11,12,52,53]. The effective form factor for the point-like case would be simply a straight line in Fig.…”

“…There is a well-known systematical difference between the e + e − →pp andpp → e + e − cross section data [9], where the latter are smaller by a factor of about 1.47. But once we take that into account by a proper renormalization of our results (using the same renormalization factor for all consideredNN interactions) we reproduce the PS170 measurement rather nicely as can be seen in Fig.…”

“…Naturally, our own bias is towards the Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter approach and therefore we will mainly concentrate on pointing out its connections with other methods and the inherent similarities and differences. We apologize to those colleagues whose work is not mentioned here; for more comprehensive discussions we refer to the existing reviews focusing on nucleon spacelike electromagnetic form factors [440][441][442][443][444][445][446], axial form factors [447,448], transition form factors [11][12][13][14], and timelike form factors [445,449].…”

“…An important aspect of form factors is their timelike structure at negative Q 2 which is governed by particle production off the photon; see [445,449] for reviews. Form factors are analytic functions in the physical sheet apart from a branch cut starting at the two-pion threshold Q 2 < −4m 2 π and extending to minus infinity.…”
