Title: Form factors and QCD in spacelike and timelike region

Journal Article · · Phys.Rev.D62:113001,2000

The authors analyze the basic hard exclusive processes: {pi}{gamma}{sup *}{gamma}-transition, pion and nucleon electromagnetic form factors, and discuss the analytic continuation of QCD formulas from the spacelike q{sup 2} < 0 to the timelike region q{sup 2} > 0 of the relevant momentum transfers. They describe the construction of the timelike version of the coupling constant {alpha}{sub s}. They show that due to the analytic continuation of the collinear logarithms each eigenfunction of the evolution equation acquires a phase factor and investigate the resulting interference effects which are shown to be very small. They found no sources for the K-factor-type enhancements in the perturbative QCD contribution to the hadronic form factors. To study the soft part of the pion electromagnetic form factor, they use a QCD sum rule inspired model and show that there are non-canceling Sudakov double logarithms which result in a K-factor-type enhancement in the timelike region.
