In this paper the contribution of three pions to the scalar electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon are computed by using the fixed source meson theory without rescattering corrections. The (7,3TT) interaction is taken phenomenologically as a point interaction. It is shown that for those values of the (y,3w) coupling constant compatible with photoproduction experiments, the experimental charge distribution could be roughly fitted with a cutoff in the dispersion integral of the order of 7 pion masses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
