Description

The electromagnetic form factor of the negative kaon has been measured by direct scattering of 250 GeV/c kaons from the stationary electrons of a liquid-hydrogen target. The deviation of the measured elastic scattering cross section from the point cross section may be characterized by a root-mean-square kaon radius of /sup 1/2/=0.53 +- 0.05 fm
