Description
Hadron electromagnetic form factors contain dynamical information on the intrinsic structure of the hadrons. The pioneering work developed at the Kharkov Physical-Technical Institute in the 60's on the relation between the polarized cross section and form factors triggered a number of experiments. Such experiments could be performed only recently, due to the progress in accelerator and polarimetry techniques. The principle of these measurements is recalled and the surprising and very precise results obtained on proton are presented. The actual status of nucleon electromagnetic form factors is reviewed, with special attention to the basic work done in Kharkov Institute.
