The power-suppressed corrections to the light pseudoscalar (pion, kaon) and vector ( L - meson) mesons’ electromagnetic form factors FM Q2 are considered using the running coupling constant method at the next-to-leading order accuracy [1-3]. In calculations the new renormalization scale R2 1 x Q2 /2 (or xQ2 /2) is used [1-4]. The mesons’ distribution amplitudes (DAs) obtained in the framework of the QCD sum rules method are used [5-9].
Keywords: quantum chromodynamics, mesons’ electromagnetic form factor, running coupling constant method, distribution amplitude.
The hadrons‘ electromagnetic (elm) form factors (ff) F Q2 |
is one of the in- |
M |
|
teresting branches of the perturbativ QCD (pQCD) [10]. In [11-13] the pion, kaon and L - meson elm ffs using the running coupling constant method and the DA obtained in the context of QCD sum rules are calculated. In these works the dependence of the mesons’ DAs on the factorization scale Q2 is taken into account [15-16]. In [14] we did the same for L -meson using the running coupling constant method with next-to-leading order accuracy and Ball-Braun [17] function. In this work we consider the same problems by taking into account the second term in the expansion of the running coupling constant s ( Q2 ) in terms of s (Q2 ). It is well known that in the framework of pQCD a meson elm ff can be written as [18-20]

where x, F2 is the meson distribution amplitude (DA), H x,y,Q2, S ( R2) is
the hard-scattering amplitude of the subprocess qq qq , calculable in the
framework of pQCD, Q2 q2 is the momentum transfer in the process. For the fac-
torization scale F2 , a natural choice is F2 Q2 [4]. The renormalization scale R2 is
chosen equal to the gluon virtuality R2 |
xyQ2, R2 1 x 1 y Q2. We choose it as |

In the expressions (18), (19) the sum runs up to N 4 in the case of the pion,L -meson and up to N 5 for kaon. The results of our numerical calculations are depicted in Figs. 1-3. In figures the results, obtained using the asymptotic and QCD sum rules DA are shown. As is seen, the contribution of the second term in Eq. (19) is very important in the region of small values of Q2 . Indeed, in the region
Qс2 5GeV2 (asymptotic DAs) or
Qс2 7 10 GeV2 (QCD sum rules DAs) this correction is negative and large at its absolute value. It decreases the maximums of the curves and shifts them towards larger values of Q2 . As a results the curves become smoother than ones obtained using only the first term from (6). In the region Q2 Qc2 the correction is positive and small for all of particles. The obtained results allow us to conclude that the powersuppressed corrections to FM Q2 are
