Application of chiral quark models to high-energy processes

Abstract

We discuss the predictions of chiral quark models for basic pion properties entering high-energy processes: generalized parton distributions (GPD's) and unintegrated parton distributions (UPD's). We stress the role of the QCD evolution, necessary to compare the predictions to data.
