Abstract
We study the pion electromagnetic half-off-shell form factors F1 and F2 using an exactly solvable manifestly covariant model of a (3 + 1) dimensional fermion field theory. The model provides a three-dimensional imaging of F1 and F2 as a function of (Q2,t), which are constrained by the Ward-Takahashi identity. The normalization of the charge form factor F1 is fixed by F1(Q2 = 0,t = m2π) = 1 while the other form factor F2 vanishes, i.e. F2(Q2,t = m2π) = 0 for any value of Q2 due to the time-reversal invariance of the strong interaction. The new form factor defined by g(Q2,t) = F2(Q2,t)/(t − m2π) is however measurable in the on-mass-shell limit. We note that g(Q2 = 0,t = m2π) is related with the pion charge radius.
