Measurement of pion and kaon form factors at NA7

Description

The electromagnetic form factors of π and K mesons have been measured by scattering these particles from the electrons in a liquid hydrogen target. The variation of the form factors with four momentum transfer gives the root mean square of the pion charge radius, 1/2 = 0.663 ± 0.006 fm and that of the K meson 1/2 = 0.63 ± 0.05. The K meson result is provisional. A measurement of the reaction π-+e- → π-+ π0 + e-, gives a result in good agreement with PCAC with 3 colours. 7 figs.; 4 refs
