In this paper, we studied the $\rho \gamma^* \to \pi$ and $\rho\gamma^*\to \rho$ transition processes and made the calculations for the $\rho\pi$ transition form factor $Q^4 F_{\rho\pi}(Q^2)$ and the $\rho$ meson electromagnetic form…
We evaluate the amplitude of Bethe-Heitler process: \gamma^* p -> \gamma \Delta^+ -electron bremsstrahlung of photon accompanied by the excitation of \Delta$ isobar. We show that this background is suppressed at small momentum transfer…
It is shown that existence of a large anomalous chromomagnetic moment of quark induced by non-perturbative structure of QCD leads to the additional contribution to exclusive $\rho$-meson electroproduction off proton target. The significant…

We evaluate the impact factor of the transition gamma* -> rhoT taking into account the twist 3 contributions. We show that a gauge invariant expression is obtained with the help of QCD equations of motion. Our results are free of end-point…
We introduce a general expression which enables the parton distribution, unintegrated over the parton transverse momentum, to be obtained from the conventional parton densities. We use the formalism to study the effects of the transverse…
Gluon distributions in real and virtual photons are calculated using evolution equations in the NLO approximation. The quark distributions in the photon determined on the basis of the QCD sum rule approach in ref.[1] are taken as an input.…
We calculate, for the longitudinally polarized virtual photon, the cross section of the process \gamma^{*}+q\to (q\bar{q}g)+q at high energies with a large rapidity gap between the fragmentation system q\bar{q}g and the other quark. This…
Valence u- and d-quarks distributions in proton are calculated in QCD at low $Q^2$ and intermediate x, basing on the operator product expansion (OPE). The imaginary part of the virtual photon scattering amplitude on quark current with…
We calculate the fragmentation function for a light quark to decay into a lepton pair to leading order in the QCD coupling constant. In the formal definition of the fragmentation function, a QED phase must be included in the eikonal factor…
Low Q2 photon-proton cross sections are analysed using a simple, QCD-motivated parametrisation $\sigma_{\gamma^\star p}\propto 1/(Q^2+Q_0^2)$, which gives a good description of the data. The Q2 dependence of the gamma* p cross section is…
We update the leading order in $\alpha_s$ QCD amplitude for deep exclusive neutrino and antineutrino production of a light meson on an unpolarized nucleon. The factorization theorems of the collinear QCD approach allow us to write the…
The photon is a very interesting object for QCD studies since it has both a pointlike coupling to quarks, which yields a perturbative part of photon's wave function, and a non-perturbative coupling related to the magnetic susceptibility of…
