A measurement of the pion charge radius

Abstract: We report a measurement of the negative pion electromagnetic form factor in the range of space-like four-momentum transfer 0.014 < q2 < 0.122 (GeV/c)2. The measurement was made by the NA7 collaboration at the CERN SPS, by observing the interaction of 300 GeV pions with the electrons of a liquid hydrogen target. The form factor is fitted by a pole form with a pion radius of = 0.657 +- 0.012 fm

“…Let us note that our RQM describes well the experimental data for the pion form factor including the recent points [22]. Let us emphasize that the parameters used in our calculations were obtained from the fitting to the experimental data up to Q 2 0.26 GeV 2 [23]. At that time the data for higher Q 2 was not correlated in different experiments and had significant uncertainties.…”
