Neutron Form Factor: Sudakov Suppression and Intrinsic Transverse Size Effect
نویسنده
چکیده
Two recently proposed concepts to improve the perturbative calculation of exclusive amplitudes, gluonic radiative corrections (Sudakov factor) and confinement size effects (intrinsic transverse momentum) are combined to study the neutron magnetic form factor in the space-like region. We find that nucleon distribution amplitudes modelled on the basis of current QCD sum rules indicate overlap with the existing data at the highest measured values of momentum transfer. However, sizeable higher-order perturbative corrections (Kfactor) and/or higher-twist contributions cannot be excluded, although they may be weaker than in the proton case.

A Critical Analysis of the Proton Form Factor with Sudakov Suppression and Intrinsic Transverse Momentum
The behavior of the proton magnetic form factor is studied within the modified hard scattering picture, which takes into account gluonic radiative corrections in terms of transverse separations. We parallel the analysis given previously by Li and make apparent a number of serious objections. The appropriate cut-off needed to render the form-factor calculation finite is both detailed and analyze...
متن کاملThe Pion Form Factor: Sudakov Suppressions and Intrinsic Transverse Momentum
It is demonstrated that any attempt to calculate the perturbative QCD contribution to the pion form factor requires the inclusion of intrinsic transverse momentum besides Sudakov form factors. For momentum transfers of the order of a few GeV the intrinsic transverse momentum leads to a substantial suppression of the perturbative QCD contribution. Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft...
متن کاملReexamination of the perturbative pion form factor with Sudakov suppression.
The perturbative pion form factor with Sudakov suppression is reexamined. Taking into account the multi-gluon exchange in the law Q 2 regions, we suggest that the running coupling constant should be frozen at α s (t = < k 2 T >) and < k 2 T > is the average transverse momentum which can be determined by the pionic wave function. In addition, we correct the previous calculations about the Sudako...
متن کاملLARGE p ⊥ EXCLUSIVE PROCESSES : RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Recent improvements of the hard scattering picture for exclusive reactions, namely the inclusion of both Sudakov corrections and the intrinsic transverse momentum dependence of the hadronic wave function, are reviewed. On account of these improvements the perturbative contribution to the pion's form factor can be calculated in a theoretically self-consistent way for momentum transfers as low ab...
متن کاملComment on the paper : “ The perturbative proton form factor reexamined ” by Kundu
We point out some serious problems in the investigation of Kundu et al. which claims agreement with the existing data of the proton form factor, calculated without taking into account the intrinsic k⊥-dependence of the proton wave function. In 1993 Li [1] applied the modified factorization scheme of perturbative QCD to exclusive processes, developed in [2], to the proton form factor at large mo...
