Abstract

The neutron e.m. time-like form factors (FF) have never been measured and the purpose of this talk is to demonstrate that this measurement is mandatory for understanding the nucleon structure. Actually the nucleon structure needs still to be investigated (as it has been proved by the recent, surprising, EMC results[1]), in spite of the overwhelming number of data collected in elastic and inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering. The current nucleon models, which reproduce either the proton FF and the neutron space-like FF, are in bad disagreement in providing the cross section for

$${e^ + }{e^ - } \to n\bar n$$

in the range experimentally accessible, with present storage rings: 4M 2N ≤ Q2 ≤ 10 GeV2.
