How are the Nucleons Made from Quarks and Gluons?
Why are nucleons interacting via VNN such a good approximation to nature? How do we understand QCD in the confinement regime?
A) The distribution of u, d, and s quarks in the hadrons
(spatial structure of charge and magnetization in the nucleons is an essential ingredient for conventional nuclear physics; the flavor decomposition of these form factors will provide new insights and a stringent testing ground for QCD-based theories of the nucleon)
B) The excited state structure of the hadrons C) The spin structure of the hadrons D) Other hadron properties (polarizability, quark correlations, ….)

Nucleon and Pion Form Factors
• Fundamental ingredients in “Classical” nuclear theory• A testing ground for theories constructing nucleons from quarks and gluons. - spatial distribution of charge, magnetization• Experimental insights into nucleon structure from the flavor decomposition of the nucleon form factors
PRECISION
•Additional insights from the measurement of the form factors of nucleons embedded in the nuclear medium - implications for binding, equation of state, EMC… - precursor to QGP

Historical OverviewStern (1932) measured the proton magnetic moment µp = 2.79 µDirac
indicating that the proton was not a point-like particleHofstadter (1950’s) provided the first measurement of the proton’s radius through elastic electron scatteringSubsequent data (≤ 1993) were based on:
•Rosenbluth separation for proton, severely limiting the accuracy for GE
p at Q2 > 1 GeV2
As yet, no “ab initio” calculations available, waiting for Lattice QCDMain interpretation based on Vector-Meson Dominance
•In simplest form resulting in dipole form factor:

Adylov et al. (1970’s) provided the first measurement of the pion’s radius through pion-atomic electron scattering.
Subsequent measurements at Fermilab and CERN (1980’s)
