Separated longitudinal and transverse structure functions for the reaction 1H(e,e(')pi(+))n were measured in momentum transfer region Q2 = 0.6--1.6 (GeV/c)(2) at a value of invariant mass W 1.95 GeV. New values pion charge form factor extracted from cross section by using recently developed Regge model.

The charged pion form factor, ${F}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}({Q}^{2})$, is an important quantity that can be used to advance our knowledge of hadronic structure. However, the extraction ${F}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}$ from data requires a model ${}^{1}\mathrm{H}(e,{e}^{'}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+})n$ reaction and thus inherently dependent. Therefore, detailed description factor electroproduction obtained recently at Jefferson Lab presented, with particular focus given dominant uncertainties in this procedure....
