On the physics behind the form factor ratio
We point out that there exist two natural definitions of the nucleon
magnetization densities : the density introduced in Kelly's
phenomenological analysis and theoretically more standard one . We
can derive an explicit analytical relation between them, although Kelly's
density is more useful to disentangle the physical origin of the different
dependence of the Sachs electric and magnetic form factors of the
nucleon. We evaluate both of and as well as the
charge density of the proton within the framework of the chiral
quark soliton model, to find a noticeable qualitative difference between
and , which is just consistent with Kelly's result
obtained from the empirical information on the Sachs electric and magnetic form
factors of the proton.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures. version to appear in J. Phys. G.: Nucl. Part.
