    • The Dirac form factor predicts the Pauli form factor in the Endpoint Model 

      Dagaonkar, Sumeet K.; Jain, Pankaj; Ralston, John P. (SpringerOpen, 2016-07-04)
      We compute the momentum-transfer dependence of the proton Pauli form factor 𝐹2 in the Endpoint overlap Model. We find the model correctly reproduces the scaling of the ratio of 𝐹2 with the Dirac form factor 𝐹1 observed ...
    • Uncovering the scaling laws of hard exclusive hadronic processes in a comprehensive endpoint model 

      Dagaonkar, Sumeet K.; Jain, Pankaj; Ralston, John P. (SpringerOpen, 2014-08-12)
      We show that an endpoint-overlap model can explain the scaling laws observed in exclusive hadronic reactions at large momentum transfer. The model assumes one of the valence quarks carries most of the hadron momentum. ...
