| The high intensity and high energy antiproton beams which will be produced at FAIR open the possibility to
determine time-like electromagnetic form factors in a wide kinematical range, through the annihilation reaction:
p+¯p!e
++e
−. The status of the proposed experiment as well as the expected results are presented on the basis
of realistic simulations. The impact of these measurements on the understanding of the nucleon structure, of
the asymptotic properties of form factors and of the reaction mechanism are discussed using model independent
statements based on symmetry properties of the strong and electromagnetic interactions in connection with
space-like data. |
