TI - The pion charge radius from charged pion electroproduction JO - Physical review / C VL - 62 SN - 0556-2813 CY - Woodbury, NY PB - Inst.

We show that at the same order where the radius appears, pion loops induce a correction to the momentum dependence of the longitudinal dipole amplitude L-0+((-)). This model-independent correction amounts to an increase of the pion charge radius squared from the electroproduction data by about 0.27 fm(2). It sheds light on the apparent discrepancy between the recent determination of the pion radius from electroproduction data and the one based on pion-electron scattering.
