Soft QCD Modeling of Meson Electromagnetic Form Factors

Abstract

We summarize recent progress in soft QCD modeling based on the set of Dyson--Schwinger equations truncated to ladder-rainbow level. We pay particular attention to electromagnetic elastic and transition form factors of the pion. This covariant approach accommodates quark confinement and implements the QCD one-loop renormalization group behavior. The dressed quark propagators are compared to the most recent lattice-QCD data.
