On the physics behind the form factor ratio $\mu_p G_E^p (Q^2) / G_M^p (Q^2)$
Abstract
We point out that there exist two natural definitions of the nucleon magnetization densities : the density introduced in Kelly's phenomenological analysis and theoretically more standard one . We can derive an explicit analytical relation between them, although Kelly's density is more useful to disentangle the physical origin of the different dependence of the Sachs electric and magnetic form factors of the nucleon. We evaluate both of and as well as the charge density of the proton within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model, to find a noticeable qualitative difference between and , which is just consistent with Kelly's result obtained from the empirical information on the Sachs electric and magnetic form factors of the proton.
