Nucleon Form Factors from Electroproduction of Pions

Abstract
The dispersion relation analysis of Fubini, Nambu, and Wataghin for electroproduction of pions has been applied to the experiments of Panofsky and Allton as an independent means for studying nucleon structure. The results are in qualitative agreement with those from elastic scattering experiments. Some of the limitations inherent in the form-factor measurements by this process are also discussed.
