Hadronic form factors: Perturbative QCD vs. QCD SUM rules

Journal Article · · Nuclear Physics A
OSTI ID:954174
The challenging problem of applicability of the perturbative QCD to exclusive processes is revealed.The basic ingredients both of the asymptotic large Q2 analysis and of the QCD sum rule approach are analyzed for the simplest and most well-studied example of the pion electromagnetic form factor.The main conclusion is that for accessible energies and momentum transfers the soft (nonperturbative) contributions dominate over those due to the hard quark rescattering subprocesses.
