Separated longitudinal and transverse structure functions for the reaction
1H(e,eprime pi+)n were measured in the momentum transfer region Q2=0.6-1.6
(GeV/c)**2 at a value of the invariant mass W=1.95 GeV. New values for the pion
charge form factor were extracted from the longitudinal cross section by using
a recently developed Regge model. The results indicate that the pion form
factor in this region is larger than previously assumed and is consistent with
a monopole parameterization fitted to very low Q2 elastic data.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
