The existing theory of hard exclusive QCD processes is based on two assumptions: (i) $factorization$ into a $hard\,block$ times light front distribution amplitudes (DA's); (ii) use of perturbative gluon exchanges within the hard block.…

A model is developed for electromagnetic form factors of the charged and neutral K-mesons. The formalism is based on ChPT Lagrangians with vector mesons. The form factors, calculated without fitting parameters, are in a good agreement with…
Since the report of the SAMPLE Collaboration suggesting the strange-quark contribution to nucleon magnetic moments, G_M^s(0), may be greater than zero, numerous models have appeared supporting positive values for G_M^s(0). In this paper the…
Using heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory to one loop, we derive an analytic and parameter-free expression for the momentum dependence of the strange magnetic form factor of the nucleon $G_M^{(s)} (Q^2)$ and its corresponding radius.…

We perform a systematic study of two-meson form factors of the scalar, vector, and anti-symmetric tensor types within the framework of the $U(3)$ resonance chiral theory. The complete perturbative form factors in both the…

The strange magnetic moment of the proton is small in the chiral quark model, because of a near cancellation between the quantum fluctuations that involve kaons and $s$-quarks and loops that involve radiative transitions between strange…
