Abstract:
We consider one aspect of the theoretical foundations of polarization experiments on elastic scattering of electrons on protons yielding form factor ratios incompatible with those that are extracted from nonpolarization experiments. We analyze the consequences of abandoning the assumption that the nucleon is a Dirac particle. We show that the process of elastic scattering of electrons on nucleons is described by the same formulas, irrespective of the proper Lorentz group representation associated with the nucleon as a particle with the rest spin 1/2.
Keywords:
scattering of electrons on nucleons, electromagnetic form factor, polarization effect, non-Dirac particle.
