Abstract
We report the measurement of near-threshold neutral pion electroproduction cross sections and the extraction
of the associated structure functions on the proton in the kinematic range Q2 from 2 to 4.5 GeV2 and W from
1.08 to 1.16 GeV. These measurements allow us to access the dominant pion-nucleon s-wave multipoles E0+ and
S0+ in the near-threshold region. In the light-cone sum-rule framework (LCSR), these multipoles are related to
the generalized form factors Gπ0p
1 (Q2) and Gπ0p
2 (Q2). The data are compared to these generalized form factors
and the results for Gπ0p
1 (Q2) are found to be in good agreement with the LCSR predictions, but the level of
agreement with Gπ0p
2 (Q2) is poor.
