Summary
Requiring the e.m. current of the pion to be timelike imposes restrictions on its electric form factor. These restrictions are found to be violated by the experimental data.
Riassunto
La richiesta che la corrente e.m. del pione sia temporale impone restrizioni sul suo fattore di forma elettrico. Si trova che queste restrizioni sono violate dai dati sperimentali.
Реэюме
Требование, чтобы злектромагнитный ток пиона был временипо-добный, накладывает ограничения на злектрический форм-фактор пиона. Обнару-жено, что зкспериментальные данные свидетельствуют о нарущении зтих ограничений.
