It is demonstrated that any attempt to calculate the perturbative QCD contribution to the pion form factor requires the inclusion of intrinsic transverse momentum besides Sudakov form factors. For momentum transfers of the order of a few…

The perturbative pion form factor with Sudakov suppression is re-examined. Taking into account the multi-gluon exchange in the law $Q^2$ regions, we suggest that the running coupling constant should be frozen at $\alpha_s(t=\sqrt{<{\bf…

We investigate the scaling properties in inclusive hadron production and the associated single transverse spin asymmetry in the forward rapidity region at RHIC. We find that the spin-averaged experimental data in both $pp$ and $dAu$…
We investigate a helicity non-flip double transverse spin asymmetry in vector boson production in hadron-hadron scattering, which was first considered by Ralston and Soper at the tree level. It does not involve transversity functions and in…
