We discuss the soft contribution to the elastic pion form factor with the mass evolution from current to constituent quark being taken into account in a light-front quark model(LFQM).
We discuss a constraint of conformal symmetry in the analysis of the pion form factor. The usual power-law behavior of the form factor obtained in the perturbative QCD analysis can also be attained by taking negligible quark masses in the…

We discuss the nonleading, ``soft" contribution to the pion form factor at intermediate momentum transfer within operator product expansion approach. We argue, that the corresponding contribution can temporarily {\bf simulate} the leading…

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…
A continuum approach to quark-antiquark bound-states is used to determine the electromagnetic form factors of pion-like mesons with masses $m_{0^-}/{\rm GeV}=0.14$, $0.47$, $0.69$, $0.83$ on a spacelike domain that extends to $Q^2 \lesssim…
The electromagnetic form factors of hadrons at large momentum transfer have been the subject of intense theoretical and experimental scrutiny over the past two decades, yet there is still not a universally-accepted framework for their…
In a study of the elastic pion form factor for large momentum transfers based on a modified perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach we have included helicity components that are customarily neglected. Along with the inclusion of transverse…
The behaviour of the pion transition form factor for the process $\gamma^\star\gamma \to \pi^0$ and $\gamma^\star\gamma^\star\to \pi^0$ at space-like values of photon momenta is estimated within the nonlocal covariant quark-meson model. The…
We propose a simple method to calculate the pion form factor at not very large momentum transfers, which combines the technique of the QCD sum rules with the description of the pion in terms of the set of wave functions of increasing twist.…
Confronted with some surprising claims about experimentally measured or theoretically expected dependencies on the involved momentum transfer of various form factors of pseudoscalar mesons, we reassess the present status of these quantities…
We study consistently the pion's static observables and the elastic and \gamma*\gamma -> \pi^0 transition form factors within a light-front model. Consistency requires that all calculations are performed within a given model with the same…
We analyze the electromagnetic pion and kaon form factor by including radiative and higher-twist effects within the framework of resummed pQCD in the space-like region. We focus on the transition from the perturbative to non-perturbative…
We examine the role of O(\alpha_s) perturbative corrections to the pion elastic form factor F_\pi(Q^2). We express the quark current three-point function in terms of light cone variables and use Borel transformation to simultaneously model…
We investigate the form factors for pseudoscalar-meson-photon transitions by means of dispersive QCD sum rules and demonstrate that most of the measurements done so far (in particular, those by BaBar for $\eta,$ $\eta',$ and $\eta_c$ and…

We summarize recent progress in soft QCD modeling based on the set of Dyson--Schwinger equations truncated to ladder-rainbow level. We pay particular attention to electromagnetic elastic and transition form factors of the pion. This…
