Nucleon EM Form Factors The model’s asymptotic behavior agrees with p-QCD. The coupling constants determined by a 1973 calculation
indicate significant contributions from meson cloud.
Results agree perfectly with the experiments using the recoil polarization technique.
Calculations are in perfect agreement with spacelike proton data, but deviate drastically from spacelike neutron data at
An analytic continuation of the original model is in excellent agreement with timelike data for both proton and neutron.

There might be a discrepancy between spacelike data and timelike data of neutron according to the properties of analytic functions.

• There is significant contribution from meson cloud
• b1=b2 confirms the SU(6) symmetry of the intrinsic part of form factors
EM Form Factors
Fitting results can perfectly describe experimental data.
The importance of meson cloud is further confirmed by the fitted parameters.
Results show a slightly larger quark core with size parameter = 0.350 (GeV)-1 than the results for nucleon.
At high Q2, the model predicts REM →Const., RSM
→0, although current parameters doesn’t give REM →1.
Future direction
Understand MBB’ vertex better Explore the choice of other mesons Use algebraic methods to minimize the
number of parameters in the coupling constants
A unified description of EM form factors of all hadrons
Conclusion
EM form factors of baryons may be described by a two component model in terms of an intrinsic q3
structure and a meson cloud. If the Distributed String Model is used for the intrinsic
part and vector mesons are included as the meson cloud, results on N and agree with experimental data respectively.
It is very likely that a unified description of all EM form factors of hadrons can be obtained based on this two component model.
