Relativistic constituent model in sector of light mesons

Abstract

We present a brief survey of some results on electroweak properties of composite systems that are obtained in the frameworks of our version of the instant form of relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM). Our approach describes well the $\pi$- and the $\rho$- mesons in wide range of momentum transfers $Q^2$. At large $Q^2$ the obtained pion form factor asymptotics coincides with that of QCD predictions. The method permits to perform analytic continuation of pion form factor to complex plane of momentum transfers that is in accordance with predictions of quantum field theory.
