Connecting the Breit Frame to the Infinite Momentum Light Front Frame: How G_E turns into F_1

Abstract

We investigate the connection between the Breit and infinite momentum frames and show that when the nucleon matrix element of the time component of the electromagnetic current, which yields G_E in the Breit frame, is boosted to the infinite momentum (or light-front) frame, the quantity F_1 is obtained.
