Hadron to Vector Mesons - Photons and the Electromagnetic Form Factors

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-01-22 v1

Abstract

In Ultra Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions (URHIC's) the light vector mesons play a crucial role in the description of hadronic interactions in a non-pertrubative QCD region. In this region efective hadron models use composite hadrons and mesons as field carriers instead of quarks and gluons. This theoretical review article tries to give a short way of understanding the underlying theory that we have for the conversion of vector mesons into photons together with the so-called Vector Dominance Model (VDM) and the electromagnetic form factors.
