Abstract
In this letter, we propose a stringy model for -point tree-level form factor with the off-shell operator in the scalar and gluon theories, from the bosonic string disk amplitude: open string states and closed string state scatter on the disk. In the field-theory limit (), the stringy form factor reduces to the form factor, helps us to investigate the hidden properties of the field-theory form factors, manifest the factorization and soft behaviors, and uncover more non-trivial relations between form factors and scattering amplitudes.
