Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 1713–1716 (2001)Measurement of the Charged Pion Electromagnetic Form FactorReceived 17 October 2000; published in the issue dated 26 February 2001 Separated longitudinal and transverse structure functions for the reaction 1H(e,e′π+)n were measured in the momentum transfer region Q2 = 0.6–1.6(GeV/c)2 at a value of the invariant mass W = 1.95GeV. New values for the pion charge form factor were extracted from the longitudinal cross section by using a recently developed Regge model. The results indicate that the pion form factor in this region is larger than previously assumed and is consistent with a monopole parametrization fitted to very low Q2 elastic data. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
