Scaling study of the pion electroproduction cross sections

The {sup 1}H(e, e{sup '}{pi}{sup +})n cross section was measured for arange of four-momentum transfer up to Q{sup 2}=3.91 GeV{sup 2} at values of the invariant mass W above the resonance region. The Q{sup 2} dependence of the longitudinal component was found to be consistent with the Q{sup 2}-s...

Zusammenfassung:The {sup 1}H(e, e{sup '}{pi}{sup +})n cross section was measured for arange of four-momentum transfer up to Q{sup 2}=3.91 GeV{sup 2} at values of the invariant mass W above the resonance region. The Q{sup 2} dependence of the longitudinal component was found to be consistent with the Q{sup 2}-scaling prediction for hard exclusive processes. This suggests that the QCD factorization theorem is applicable at rather low values of Q{sup 2}. The transverse term falls off slower than the naive Q{sup -8} expectation and remains appreciable even at Q{sup 2}=3.91 GeV{sup 2}.
