Form-factor of the process gamma* gamma* ---> pi0 for small virtuality of one of the photons and QCD sum rules

Conference ·
OSTI ID:840185
We extend the QCD sum rule analysis of the F{sub {gamma}*{gamma}* {yields} {pi}{sup o}} (q{sub 1}{sup 2}, q{sub 2}{sup 2}) form factor into the region where one of the photons has small virtuality: |q{sub 1}{sup 2}| << |q{sub 2}{sup 2}| {ge} 1 GeV{sup 2}. In this kinematics, one should perform an additional factorization of short- and long-distance contributions. The extra long-distance sensitivity of the three-point amplitude is described by two-point correlators (bilocals), and the low-momentum dependence of the correlators involving composite operators of two lowest twists is extracted from auxiliary QCD sum rules. Our estimates for the form factor at q{sub 1}{sup 2}=0, Q{sub 2}{sup 2} > 1 GeV{sup 2} are in good agreement with existing experimental data.
