We describe a consistent approach to factorization of scattering amplitudes for exclusive processes beyond the leading twist approximation. The method involves the Taylor expansion of the scattering amplitude in the momentum space around…
We present a systematic study of twist-4 light-cone distribution amplitudes of the $K^*$ and $\phi$ meson in QCD. The structure of SU(3)-breaking corrections is studied in detail. Non-perturbative input parameters are estimated from QCD sum…
In the scaling regime, amplitudes for backward virtual Compton scattering and hadron annihilation into two photons depend on structure functions that describe the hadron-photon transition at the partonic level. We construct simple…
We examine scattering amplitudes for an arbitrary number of photons in a class of non-null background electromagnetic fields, studying tree-level and one-loop amplitudes in scalar and spinor quantum-electrodynamics in backgrounds defined by…
Exclusive hadron production processes in photon-photon collisions provide important tests of QCD at the amplitude level, particularly as measures of hadron distribution amplitudes and skewed parton distributions. The determination of the…
We investigate hard exclusive reactions on the nucleon with soft pion emission. A parametrization of corresponding hadronic matrix elements in terms of parton distributions for final pion-nucleon state is provided. These distributions are…
Exclusive two-photon reactions such as Compton scattering at large angles, deeply virtual Compton scattering, and hadron production in photon-photon collisions provide important tests of QCD at the amplitude level, particularly as measures…
We present a general representation for the nucleon distribution amplitudes and for the nucleon to pion transition distribution amplitudes in terms of light-cone wave functions. We apply our formalism to a light-cone constituent quark model…
Recent BaBaR data on the pion transition form factor, whose Q^2 dependence is much steeper then predicted by asymptotic Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), have caused a renewed interest in its theoretical description. We present here a formalism…
This thesis examines the applications and determinations of meson light-cone distribution amplitudes. The investigation of such processes, in the context of $B$ physics, provides one with a rich and extensive way of determining the Standard…
The pion electromagnetic form factor is calculated within the QCD light-cone sum rule method and using a renormalon model for the higher twist distribution amplitudes (DAs). The theoretical predictions are compared with the experimental…
The improved calculation method of quark distributions in hadrons in the framework of QCD sum rules is presented. The imaginary part of the virtual photon scattering amplitude on some hadronic current is considered in the case, when initial…
We describe a new way to access the chiral odd transversity parton distribution in the proton through the photoproduction of lepton pairs. The basic ingredient is the interference of the usual Bethe Heitler or Drell-Yan amplitudes with the…
The vector and axial pion-photon transition distribution amplitudes are analyzed in the Spectral Quark Model. We proceed by the evaluation of double distributions through the use of a manifestly covariant calculation based on the alpha…
We investigate wide-angle photo- and electroproduction of pions within the handbag mechanism in which the $\gamma^{(*)} N\to \pi N'$ amplitudes factorize into hard partonic subprocess amplitudes, $\gamma^{(*)} q\to \pi q'$, and form factors…
In the framework of nonlocal light-cone expansion of two current operators we construct bilocal as well as trilocal QCD light-cone operators with definite geometric twist. We are able to decompose uniquely the appearing QCD light-cone…
We show the results of low-energy chiral quark models for soft matrix elements involving pions and photons. Such soft elements, upon convolution with the hard matrix elements, are relevant in various high-energy processes. We focus on…
The QED four-photon amplitude has been well-studied by many authors, and on-shell is treated in many textbooks. However, a calculation with all four photons off-shell is presently still lacking, despite of the fact that this amplitude…
Since b quark mass is not asymptotically large, chirally enhanced corrections which arise from twist-3 wave functions may be important in B decays. We thus evaluate the hadronic matrix elements with the final light pseudoscalar mesons…
We calculate the production rate of soft real photons from a hot quark -- gluon plasma using Braaten -- Pisarski's perturbative resummation method. To leading order in the QCD coupling constant $g$ we find a logarithmically divergent result…
