Nucleon Form Factors in the Space- and Timelike Regions

preprint2001arXivOpen access

Abstract

Dispersion relations provide a powerful tool to describe the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon both in the spacelike and timelike regions with constraints from unitarity and perturbative QCD. We give a brief introduction into dispersion theory for nucleon form factors and present results from a recent form factor analysis. Particular emphasis is given to the form factors in the timelike region. Furthermore, some recent results for the spacelike form factors at low momentum transfer from a ChPT calculation by Kubis and Meissner are discussed.
