Electromagnetic Structure of the Proton and Neutron

TLDR

High‑energy electron scattering shows deviations from point‑nucleon scattering, indicating finite nucleon sizes. The study aims to clarify the significance of these deviations from point‑nucleon scattering. The authors briefly discuss the significance of the observed deviations. The paper summarizes established and recent electron‑scattering findings on nucleon structure. Authored by W.D.M.

Abstract

High-energy electron scattering measurements have demonstrated clearly the existence of deviations from point-nucleon scattering laws. The results obtained in the proton and neutron investigations have been interpreted as evidence of the finite sizes of the nucleons. The results already established as well as some of the most recent findings of the electron-scattering method are summarized. A brief account of the significance of the observed deviations from point-nucleon scattering is presented. (W.D.M.)
