The covariant quark model is shown to allow a phenomenological description of the neutron electric form factor, G_E^n(Q^2), in the impulse approximation, provided that the wave function contains minor (~ 3 %) admixtures of the lowest…
It is shown that the pi^0 transition form factor F(Q_1^2,Q_2^2) differs substantially from its one-real-photon limit F(Q_1^2,0) even for rather small values of Q_2^2 (approx 0.1 GeV^2), which cannot be excluded in experiments with one…

We compare new HERA data for the longitudinal structure function $F_{\rm L}$ with the predictions of different variants of the dipole model. In particular we show that the ratio $F_{\rm L}/F_2$ is well described by the dipole models and is…
The hadronic structure function of the photon F_2^gamma is measured as a function of Bjorken x and of the factorisation scale Q^2 using data taken by the OPAL detector at LEP. Previous OPAL measurements of the x dependence of F_2^gamma are…

We analyze the low-$Q^2$ behavior of the axial form factor $G_A(Q^2)$, the induced pseudoscalar form factor $G_P(Q^2)$, and the axial nucleon-to-$\Delta$ transition form factors $C^A_5(Q^2)$ and $C^A_6(Q^2)$. Building on the results of…
The off-shell pion electromagnetic form factors are explored with corresponding off-shell light-front wave functions modeled by constituent quark and anti-quark. We apply the Mandelstam approach for the microscopic computation of the form…
It is shown that the data on the pion charge form factor admit the possibility for a substantial sea-quark components in the pion wave function. If the charge form factor is calculated with instant form kinematics in a constituent quark…

The $\phi$-divergence-based moment method was recently introduced Abdelmalik et al. (2023) for the discretization of the radiative transfer equation. At the continuous level, this method is very close to the entropy-based MN methods and…
At low $x \cong Q^2/W^2 << 1$, in deep inelastic scattering, the photon fluctuates into a $q \bar q$ vector state that interacts via two gluons with the proton. The energy dependence is determined by the saturation scale, in our approach…
