Abstract
We calculate the form factors of the baryon octet in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. The calculated charge radius of the Σ − is in agreement with recent measurements from CERN and Fermilab. We show that kaon loop effects can play a significant role in the neutron electric form factor. Furthermore, we derive generalized Caldi–Pagels relations between various charge radii which are free of chiral loop effects.
