Contribution

It introduces a novel potential based on a cotangent function for modeling proton structure, combining conformal symmetry with color confinement.

Findings

Accurately reproduces proton form factor data

Demonstrates the effectiveness of a cotangent potential in hadron modeling

Supports the relevance of conformal symmetry in QCD models

Abstract

The electric-charge, and magnetic-dipole form factors of the proton are calculated from an underlying constituent quark picture of hadron structure based on a potential shaped after a cotangent function, which has the properties of being both conformally symmetric and color confining, finding adequate reproduction of a variety of related data.
