Electromagnetic Form Factors of Nucleons with QCD Constraints Sytematic Study of the Space and Time-like Regions

Abstract

Elastic electromagnetic form factors of nucleons are investigated both for the time-like and the space-like momentums under the condition that the QCD constraints are satisfied asymptotically. The unsubtracted dispersion relation with the superconvergence conditions are used as a realization of the QCD conditions. The experimental data are analyzed by using the dispersion formula and it is shown that the calculated form factors reproduce the experimental data reasonably well.
