Nucleon form factors at threshold.

The pp¯invariant mass spectra in the processes e+e−→ pp¯, e+e−→ nn¯, J/ψ → pp¯ω, J/ψ → pp¯ρ, and J/ψ → pp¯γ close to the pp¯is discussed. The optical potentials for NN¯pair in the superposition of S and D waves (due to tensor forces) at spin unity of the pair, as well as for NN¯pair in the S wave at spin zero of the pair, are proposed. The parameters of the potentials are obtained by fitting the cross sections of NN¯scattering together with the pp¯invariant mass spectra in e+e−→ pp¯annihilation and J/ψ decays. Good agreement with the available experimental data is achieved. Using our potential and the Green's function approach we also describe the cross section of e+e−→ 6π and the η'π+ π− invariant mass spectrum in the decay J/ψ → γη'π+π− in the energy region near the NN¯threshold.
