The EM form factor of the pion has been studied in the time-like region by measuring σ (e + e − → π + π − ) normalized to σ (e + e − → μ + μ − ). Results have been obtained for q 2 down to the physical threshold.

An experiment to measure the electromagnetic form factor of the negative π meson has been carried out at Fermilab by elastically scattering 100-GeV/c pions from the atomic electrons in a liquid-hydrogen target. We find that the elastic differential scattering cross section is characterized by a root-mean-square pion charge radius of 0.56±0.04 fm. This paper described our experimental design, measurement resolutions, event triggering logic, event reconstruction, experimental corrections, and form-factor results.
