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…
The neutron's electric form factor contains vital information on nucleon structure, but its interpretation within many models has been obscured by relativistic effects. I demonstrate that, to leading order in the relativistic expansion of a…

We start from an MIT-bag model calculation which provides information about the constituent quark distributions in the nucleon. The constituent quarks, however, are themselves considered as complex objects whose partonic substructure is…
A relativistic interpretation for why the proton's $G_E/G_M$ falls and $QF_2/F_1$ is approximately constant is presented. Reproducing the observed $G_E^n$ mandates the inclusion of the effects of the pion cloud. The full relativistic model…
