Elastic e- Scattering on the NucleonThere is a magnetic interaction with the nucleon due to its magnetic moment

The relative strength of the magnetic interaction is largest at large Q2 and backward angles: Mott suppresses backward anglesand the spinflip suppresses forward angles.
(Dipole B~1/r3 E~1/r2)
Rosenbluth-FormulaDue to their inner structure, nucleons have an anomales magneticmoment (g2). p=+2.79N n=-1.91N (1:0 expected)Two form factors are now needed.

At Q2=0 the form factors must equal the static electric and magnetic moments:
GpE(0)=1, Gp
M(0)=2.79, GnE(0)=0, Gn
M(0)=-1.91
Spacelike Proton Form FactorsThe form factors are determined the differential cross section versus tan/2 at different values of Q2.
The form factors have dipole behavior (i.e. exponential charge distribution) with the same mean charge radius. (0.81 fm)(N.B. small deviations from dipole)

Neutron Electric Form FactorEven though the neutron is electrically neutral, it has a finite form factor at Q2>0 [GE(Q2=0)=0 is the charge] and thus has a rms electric radius <r2>=-0.11fm2

FF measurements are difficult on the neutron (no n target!). Either do e- scattering on deuteron (but pn interaction!) or low energy neutrons from a reactor on atomic e-.

Examples
Vector Dominance Model (VDM)
A photon can appear for a short time as a q qbar pair of the same quantum numbers. This state (vector meson) has a large probability to interact with another hadron.
The intermediate state can be either space-like or time-like, where there is a large kinematically forbidden region

The interference from many vector mesons can producea dipole FF, even though the BreitWigner is not a dipole.Similarly, 2 close el. charges of opposite sign have a 1/r2 potential (dipole) although it is 1/r for a single charge.

Since the photon has negative C-parity it can not couple to pairs of neutral mesons (e.g ). But transitions are allowed where the products have opposite C parity.
The decay of the off-shell photon is called internal conversion
Dalitz decay
The ee spectrum can be separated into 2 parts: the 1st describes the coupling of the virtual photon to a point charge and the second describes the spatial distribution of the hadron.
VDM and Transition FF
