Pion structure: from nonlocal condensates to NLO analytic perturbation theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A pion distribution amplitude, derived from nonlocal QCD sum rules, has been employed to calculate Fγγπ(Q2)F_{\gamma^*\gamma\to\pi}(Q^2) using light-cone sum rules, and Fπ(Q2)F_{\pi}(Q^2) in NLO QCD perturbation theory. Predictions are presented for both observables and found to be in good agreement with the corresponding data. Calculating the hard pion form factor by Analytic Perturbation Theory to two-loop order, it is shown that the renormalization-scheme and scale-setting dependencies are diminished.
