An Improved Hadronic Model for Pion Electroproduction

Current measurements of the high energy behavior of the pion form factor are obtained from pion electroproduction data. These values are model dependent, utilizing the Vanderhaeghen, Guidal and Laget Regge (VGL) Model for their extraction. Recent work which examined the implementation of gauge invariance in that model suggested that it might lead to extracted pion form factors larger than the true values. Here we introduce a new model which preserves the successes of the VGL Model but implements gauge invariance in a new way. To demonstrate the validity of this new approach, we first use it to extract the pion form factor in a simple toy model. When compared with the previous extraction method, the improved model leads to a more reliable extraction. The success in this simple model leads us to reanalyse the electroproduction cross section data, where we obtain comparable values for the pion form factor to those obtained using the VGL procedure.

Model Dependence of the Pion Form Factor Extracted from Pion Electro-production

In 2008 the Jefferson Laboratory $F_π$ Collaboration released results for the pion electromagnetic form factor, which they extracted from pion electro-production data. The measured values for the pion form factor are model dependent, and require the use of the Vanderhaeghen, Guidal and Laget Regge Model for their extraction. While agreement between this model and data is impressive, the theoretical implementation of gauge invariance is less satisfying. We would like to establish how well the extracted form factor corresponds to the true form factor. To do this, we use a simple toy model, which imposes gauge invariance in a more theoretically satisfying way. The model form factor is extracted from our model cross section using the method employed by the $F_π$ Collaboration to extract the experimental pion form factor. We conclude that the reconstructed model form factor is a reasonable representation of the true model form factor for the kinematics chosen, although we note that the extracted form factor is smaller than the true form factor. This suggests that current extracted values of pion form factor may be overestimated.

Triple-gluon and quark-gluon vertex from lattice QCD in Landau gauge

We report on preliminary results for the triple-gluon and the quark-gluon vertex in Landau gauge. Our results are based on two-flavor and quenched lattice QCD calculations for different quark masses, lattice spacings and volumes. We discuss the momentum dependence of some of the vertices's form factors and the deviations from the tree-level form.
