  2. Scientific Motivation - What We Hope to Learn. Nucleon elastic electromagnetic form factors (EEFFs) describe the distribution of charge and magnetization in the nucleon. Reveal the internal landscape of the nucleon and nuclei. Rigorously test QCD in the non-perturbative regime. Nuclear models, constituent quarks,... lattice QCD. Map the transition from the hadronic picture to QCD. Jerry Gilfoyle, ISMD2017 Future Form Factor Measurements at JLab 2 / 22

Some Necessary Background EEFFs cross section described with Dirac ( F 1 ) and Pauli ( F 2 ) form factors d σ �� � θ e �� + 2 τ ( F 1 + κ F 2 ) 2 tan 2 F 2 1 + κ 2 τ F 2 � d Ω = σ Mott 2 2 where σ Mott = α 2 E ′ cos 2 ( θ e 2 ) 4 E 3 sin 4 ( θ e 2 ) and κ is the anomalous magnetic moment, E ( E ′ ) is the incoming (outgoing) electron energy, θ is the scattered electron angle and τ = Q 2 / 4 M 2 . For convenience use the Sachs form factors. d σ σ Mott ǫ G 2 E + τ G 2 � � d Ω = M ǫ (1 + τ ) where � − 1 � 1 + 2(1 + τ ) tan 2 θ e G E = F 1 − τ F 2 and G M = F 1 + F 2 and ǫ = 2 Jerry Gilfoyle, ISMD2017 Future Form Factor Measurements at JLab 3 / 22

  5. Where We Are Now. M reasonably well known over large Q 2 range. G p PR12-07-108 The ratio G p E / G p M from polarization transfer measurements diverged from previous Rosen- bluth separations. Two-photon exchange (TPE). Effect of radiative corrections. Neutron magnetic FF G n M still follows dipole. High- Q 2 G n E opens up flavor decomposition.

  6. Where We Are Now. Many years of model building - Diehl et al. Eur. Phys. J., 73, 2397 (2013) Vector Meson Dominance, Con- stituent Quarks capture much of the four EEFFs, but use many pa- rameters. Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) have also been used. The EEFFs are the first moments of the GPDs. EEFFs are an early test of lattice P.E. Shanahan et al. QCD because isovector form does PRD 90, 034502 (2014) CSM, QCDSF/UKQCD Collaborations not have disconnected diagrams.
