Abstract

A least-squares fit is made of elastic

π p

differential cross sections and then extrapolated to infinite energies. The result is used, in the droplet model, to evaluate the pion form factor. The pion root-mean-square radius is found to be (0.63±0.02)×

10^{- 13}

cm, which is slightly smaller than that of the proton.
