Description
We propose a model for the electromagnetic form factor of the pion based on Regge theory in which the interaction vertex is represented by a $q \bar{q} \to \pi \pi$ u-channel Regge amplitude, and study the asymptotic limits of various modifications of this model. With this we hope to accurately reproduce the high energy behavior exhibited in $\gamma \to \pi + \pi$ reactions.
