Abstract
The pion electric form factor is computed for several values of momentum-transfer on a quenched 103 × 20 lattice with SU(3) colour at β = 5.9. With small errors and with pionic energies consistent with continuum dispersion, the data is compatible with, although consistently above, the monopole form suggested by vector dominance.

Funding Information:hmit Q2 = 2m Iql, a fact which will not change qualitatively with a push to higher Thus a simple linear extrapolation of F and Q2 m ~ ~ to ~ is most certamly not correct. Increasing the lattice size wdl make IPl mma smaller, but this should preferably be done m all spaual dIrectxons so that one retains the condition ~ComptonU~=f2qr/<m "" L~, L), L:. In fact, since one of our goals is to apply the analysis to the more interesting baryon sector, where larger hadronic sizes demand the use of a larger lattice, th~s ~s the d~rection m whach our future efforts wdl be concentrated We thank G.
