Electron form factors up to fourth order. - I

SummaryThe explicit results of the analytic evaluation of the discontinuities of the electron form factors and of their zero-momentum-transfer values, up to the fourth order of the perturbative expansion of QED in the electric charge, are presented. Asymptotic and threshold behaviours are discussed. The related form of the dispersion relations for the real parts is given.RiassuntoSi presentano i risultati espliciti del calcolo analitico delle discontinuità dei fattori di forma dell’elettrone e dei loro valori a momento trasferito nullo, sino al quart’ordine dello sviluppo perturbativo dell’elettrodinamica quantica nella carica elettrica. Si discutono i comportamenti asintotici e in soglia. Si dà la corrispondente forma delle relazioni di dispersione per le parti reali.РеэюмеПредлагаются точные реэультаты аналитического вычисления раэрывов злектронных форм-факторов и их эначений при нулевых передаваемых импульсах с точностью вплоть до четвертого порядка теории воэмушений по злектрическому эаряду в квантовой злектродинамике. Обсуждаются асимптотическое и пороговое поведения. Приводится соответствуюшая форма дисперсионного соотнощения для вешественных частей.
