Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 1008–1011 (1996)Nucleon Strangeness Content through Vector Meson DominanceReceived 19 January 1996; revised 25 April 1996; published in the issue dated 5 August 1996 It is demonstrated that N(π,e+e-)N measurements will provide new information about the nucleon timelike form factor in the φ meson region including the value of the φN coupling gφNN. Using vector meson dominance, N(π,e+e-)N calculations reveal a 3 order of magnitude enhancement from the φ resonance coupled to the nucleon compared to the expected background φ production from the ρπφ contribution through ρ exchange. The effect from φN coupling in the nucleon form factors yields a novel experimental signature for OZI (Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka) violation and the related strangeness content of the nucleon. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
