Title: Deep elastic processes of composite particles in field theory and asymptotic freedom

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:833651

This is an English translation of my 1977 Russian preprint. It contains the first explicit definition of the pion distribution amplitude (DA), the expression for the pion form factor asymptotics in terms of the pion DA, and formulates the pQCD parton picture for hard exclusive processes. The large Q{sup 2} behavior of the pion electromagnetic form factor is explicitly calculated in the non-Abelian gauge theory to demonstrate a field-theoretical approach to the deep elastic processes of composite particles. The approach is equivalent to a new type of parton model.
