the elementary reaction of kaon exclusive electroproduction on protons has been studied ina broad kinematical range. data for the calculation of the form factor of the kaon have been taken atdifferent values of the invariant center of mass energy w in the range w=1.8, 1.85, 1.98, 2.08 (gev), forone value of the transferred 4-momentum q2=2.35 (gev/c)2. in this analysis, we calculated σl and σt b...

The ηcγ transition form factor is calculated in a model based on a modified hard scattering approach to exclusive reactions, in which transverse degrees of freedom are taken into account. For the ηc-meson a distribution amplitude of the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel type is used, where the two free parameters, namely the decay constant fηc and the transverse size of the wave function, are related to the F...

The D * Dπ form factor is evaluated in a QCD sum rule calculation for both D and π off-shell mesons. We study the Borel sum rule for the three point function of one pseudoscalar, one axial and one vector meson currents. We find that the momentum dependence of the form factors is very different if the D or the π meson is off-shell, but they lead to the same coupling constant in the D * Dπ vertex.

We present a dynamical alternative to inelastic dark matter as a way of reconciling the modulating signal seen at DAMA with null results at other direct detection experiments. The essential ingredient is a new form factor which introduces momentum dependence in the interaction of dark matter with nuclei. The role of the form factor is to suppress events at low momentum transfer. We find that a ...
