Electromagnetic form factors and K-[pi] scattering

Abstract

This thesis is divided into two parts — Part I: Discusses the theoretical aspects of pion and nucleon form factors. A phenomenological model is developed and found to be consistent with F1V= F π Part II: Describes a model proposed by J.W. Moffat for K-π and π-π scattering. This model is shown to satisfy the postulates of s-matrix theory, except for unitarity, and is found to be in reasonable agreement with experiment.
