The applicability of pQCD to basic hadronic processes

This study investigates the applicability of perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD) to basic hadronic processes, including hadron form factors, two-photon annihilation processes, hadron scatterings, and decays of heavy hadrons. Theoretical predictions at next-to-leading order (NLO) are compared to experimental data, and further insights are gained about the energy and angular dependence, normalization issues, and potential contributions of higher-order corrections.

  22. Final remarks for basic exclusive processes at large momentum transfer: + energy and angular dependence of NLO predictions are in very good agreement with the data normalization represents a problem the NLO corrections can be substantial,so a part of the normalization problem can be attributed to the size of uncalculated higher-order corrections However, assuming reasonable scale variation of the NLO prediction, or controlled perturbative series (LO > NLO > NNLO) it is not to be expected that inclusion of higher-order corrections would lead to a solution of the normalization problem. On the other hand, relative good agreement between theory and experiment for the ratios suggest that the specific form of the DA certainly plays a relevant role. - +- - +- Presented results are not conclusive enough to allow a definite statement regarding the applicability of the pQCD at the currently accessible energies, but it is hard to believe that momentum transfer smaller than 10 GeV would be enough.
