Abstract: | Dirac and Pauli form factors are investigated in the relativistic chiral effective Lagrangian.The octet and decuplet intermediate states are included in the one-loop calculation.The 4-dimensional regulator is introduced to deal with the divergence.Different from the non-relativistic case,this 4-dimensional regulator is generated from the nonlocal Lagrangian with the gauge link,which guarantees local gauge invariance.As a result,additional diagrams appear which ensure electric charge 1 and 0 for proton and neutron respectively.The obtained Dirac and Pauli form factors of the nucleons are all reasonable up to relatively large Q~2. |
