Relativistic prescriptions relating Sachs form factors to nucleon charge and magnetization densities are used to fit recent data for both the proton and the neutron. The analysis uses expansions in complete radial bases to minimize model…
In contrast with common non-relativistic lore, the usual Sachs form factors are not the Fourier transforms of charge or magnetization densities. Instead, the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the electromagnetic $F_1$ form factor is the…

The proton charge and magnetization density distributions can be related to the well known Sachs electromagnetic form factors $G_{E,M}({\bm q}^{2})$ through Fourier transforms, only in the Breit frame. The Breit frame however moves with…

Muonic atom transitions have been measured for almost all stable nuclei to extract nuclear structure properties, including nuclear charge radii and quadrupole moment. To investigate the possibilities of extracting higher-order radial…

It is shown that polarization transfer measurements $(\vec{e},e'\vec{p})$ on a specific target nucleus can provide constraints on the ratio of the in-medium electric to magnetic form factor. Thereby one exploits the fact that proton…
