We study the pion electromagnetic and $\gamma^* + \pi^0 \to \gamma$ transition form factors at intermediate momentum transfer. We calculate soft, nonperturbative corrections to the leading perturbative amplitudes which arise from the $q\bar…
The contribution of a $K^*(1430)$ $0^+$ resonance to $D^0\to K^-\pi^+$ is calculated by applying the soft pion theorem to $D^+ \to K^* \pi^+$, and is found to be about 30% of the measured amplitude and to be larger than the $\Delta I=3/2$…

As one of the simplest hadronic processes, $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow M^{+}M^{-}$ ($M=\pi,K$) could be a good testing ground for our understanding of the perturbative and nonperturbative structure of QCD, and will be studied with high…
We outline a proof of factorization in exclusive processes, taking into account the presence of soft and collinear modes of arbitrarily low energy, which arise when the external lines of the process are taken on shell. Specifically, we…
We investigate the twist-3 pion and kaon distribution amplitudes of the pseudoscalar (phi^p_{pi,K}) and pseudotensor (phi^{sigma}_{pi,K}) types, based on the effective chiral action from the instanton vacuum. Effects of flavor SU(3)…
We argue that the collinear factorization of the fragmentation functions in high energy hadron and nuclei collisions breaks down at transverse momenta kT < Qs/g due to high parton densities in the colliding hadrons and/or nuclei. We…
We evaluate Generalized Parton Distributions of the pion in two chiral quark models: the Spectral Quark Model and the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a Pauli-Villars regularization. We proceed by the evaluation of double distributions through…
We calculate large mass diphoton exclusive photoproduction in the framework of collinear QCD factorization at next to leading order in {\alpha}s and at leading twist. Collinear divergences of the coefficient function are absorbed by the…
We propose to describe the process $ p ~ \bar{p} \rightarrow \pi^+ ~ \pi^-$ in a perturbative, QCD motivated framework in which a hard $ud \, \bar{u} \bar{d} \rightarrow d \, \bar{d} $ annihilation factorizes from soft transition…
We define the collinear factorization scheme, which absorbs only the collinear physics into the parton distribution functions. In order to isolate the collinear physics, we introduce a procedure to combine real and virtual corrections,…
