Transition form factor; conformal operator product expansion

Sažetak
We evaluate the next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to the hard-scattering amplitude of the photon-to-pion transition form factor. Our approach is based on the predictive power of the conformal operator product expansion, which is valid for a vanishing $\beta$-function in the so- called conformal scheme. The Wilson--coefficients appearing in the non-forward kinematics are then entirely determined from those of the polarized deep-inelastic scattering known to next-to-next- to-leading accuracy. We propose different schemes to include explicitly also the conformal symmetry breaking term proportional to the $\beta$- function, and discuss numerical predictions calculated in different kinematical regions. It is demonstrated that the photon-to-pion transition form factor can provide a fundamental testing ground for our QCD understanding of exclusive reactions.
