<b>Transverse Charge Densities </b>
Gerald Miller
University of Washington
Electromagnetic form factors have long been used to
probe the underlying charge and magnetization densities of hadrons
and nuclei. However,traditional three-dimensional Fourier transform methods
are not applicable for systems with constituents that move
relativistically. The use of the transverse charge density is a new,
rigorously defined way to analyze electromagnetic form factors of
hadrons. This talk will discuss the following issues: what is a
transverse charge density; how is one extracted one from experiments;
the existing results for the nucleon and pion; what is the
relationship with other observable quantities such as the proton Zemach
radius and the shape of the proton; and, future prospects.
