We present the experimental status of electromagnetic hadron form factors. New and surprising results, based on polarization measurements, have been recently obtained for the electric proton and neutron form factors. In particular, the…

Form factors, polarizabilities and excitation spectra are different aspects of many-body structures. These aspects are constrained by sum rules based on general principles like relativity, gauge invariance, causality and unitarity. Several…

The comparison of magnetic moment of neutron and proton enables to outline qualitatively the structure of nucleon by using a model similar to the one suggested by Ida and Kobayashi that "baryons consist of a qq pair (or a diquark) and…
We derive expressions for strangeness-changing scalar form factors, which incorporate known theoretical constraints both at low and high energies. Their leading behaviour in the limit of a large number of colours is calculated from the…
