Abstract

We note that off the quark mass shell the operators (pi+pf)μγ5 and iσμν(pi -pf)νγ5, both of which reduce to -σ·E in the non-relativistic limit, are no longer identical. In this paper we explore the effects of this difference in the contribution of these quark electric moments to hadronic electric moments.
