It is shown that the account for the proton charge form factor in the Coulomb corrections to the electron-proton scattering cross section noticeably diminishes the difference between the value of the proton charge radius $r_{\mathrm{E}}$,…
The LEP experiments measure the QED and QCD structure of the photon in deep-inelastic electron-photon scattering. The status of these measurements is discussed in this short review.
Phenomena of free-electron X-ray radiation are treated almost exclusively with classical electrodynamics, despite the intrinsic interaction being that of quantum electrodynamics. The lack of quantumness arises from the vast disparity…
Physics perspectives are shown for future experiments in electron or positron scattering on nucleons, towards a deep and comprehensive understanding of the angular momentum structure of the nucleon in the context of Quantum Chromodynamics.…
We studied the orbit of an electron revolving around an infinitely massive nucleus of a large classical Hydrogen atom subject to an AC electric field oscillating perpendicular to the electron's circular orbit. Using perturbation theory in…
Determining the inner structure of protons and nuclei in terms of their fundamental constituents has been one of the main tasks of high energy nuclear and particle physics experiments. This quest started as a mapping of the (average) parton…
The Dirac equation offers a precise analytical description of relativistic two-particle bound states, when one of the constituent is very heavy and radiative corrections are neglected. Looking at the high-Z hydrogen-like atom in the…
We apply a dynamical three-constituent quark light-front model to study the proton. The dynamics is based on the notion of a diquark (bound or virtual) as the dominant interaction channel, which paramaterizes a contact interaction between…
The charge radius of the proton is typically determined from electron-proton scattering by extracting the proton's electric form factor and then making use of the derivative of that form factor at zero four-momentum transfer. Unfortunately,…
Electromagnetic form factors of proton and neutron, obtained from a new fit of data, are presented. The proton form factors are obtained from a simultaneous fit to the ratio $\mu_p G_{Ep}/G_{Mp}$ determined from polarization transfer…
The visible world is founded on the proton, the only composite building block of matter that is stable in nature. Consequently, understanding the formation of matter relies on explaining the dynamics and the properties of the proton's bound…
We investigate the impact parameter dependent parton distributions for a relativistic composite system in light-front framework. We express them in terms of overlaps of light-cone wave functions for a self consistent two-body spin-1/2…
A two-dimensional Fourier transform of hadron form factors allows to determine their charge density in transverse space. We show that this method can be applied to any virtual photon induced transition, such as \gamma *(q)+N -> \pi N. Only…
We determine the nucleon electromagnetic form factors and their uncertainties from world electron scattering data. The analysis incorporates two-photon exchange corrections, constraints on the low-Q2 and high-Q2 behavior, and additional…
We consider the problem of electron transport across a quasi-one-dimensional disordered multiply-scattering medium, and study the statistical properties of the electron density inside the system. In the physical setup that we contemplate,…
A new picture is given of generalized parton distributions probed in experiments in which the probe scale $Q^{2}$ and the momentum transfer $\DD^{2}$ are well separated. Application of this picture to the $Q^{2}$ dependence of the form…
Motivated by the need to understand hadron masses, we reexamine an old problem in QED - the composition of the electron mass - in a modern perspective. We find that in the unrenormalized QED, the vacuum subtraction plays an important role…
In Part one of this Paper a hypothesis is forwarded of the electron charge in an atom existing in a distributed form. To check it by methods of electrodynamics and mechanics (without invoking the formalism of quantum mechanics and the…
