Abstract:
In this talk, I first give an introduction of the dispersion theory of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors. In such an approach, fundamental prnciples like unitarity and analyticity are fulfilled and the structure of the nucleon can be analyzed. I will discuss the proton and neutron radii emerging in this approach and give some new results based on improved tow-photon corrections. In the second part, I present a new calculation of the proton form factors in the time-like region close to threshold, with emphasis on the proton-antiproton final state interaction.
