Pion form factors

Abstract

We consider the electromagnetic and transition pion form factors. Using dispersion relations we simultaneously describe both the hadronic, time-like region and the asymptotic region of large energy-momentum transfer. For the latter we propose a novel mechanism of Regge fermion exchange. We find that hadronic contributions dominate form factors at all currently available energies.
