Meson loop effects on the pion electromagnetic form factor

Abstract

In this work we calculate the meson loop effects on the pion electromagnetic form factor and perform a comparison with experimental data. We show that, even though the meson cloud is not the only nonperturbative process to be considered, its contribution is significant.
