We use recent data on K^+ -> pi^+ e^+ e^-, together with known values for the pion form factor, to derive experimental values for the kaon electromagnetic form factor for 0 < q^2 < 0.125 (GeV/c)^2. The results are then compared with the…

The electromagnetic form factors are the most fundamental quantities to describe the internal structure of the nucleon and the shape of a spatially extended particle is determined by its intrinsic quadrupole moment which can be related to…
Form factors are Lorentz invariant functions describing the internal structure of a system. In particular, they encode how physical properties like, e.g., charge, energy, momentum, and pressure are spatially distributed. While nucleon…
