Description

One of the best constraints on the pion wave function has been obtained from studying the process g*g -> p at large photon virtuality. The underlying theoretical framework can be extended to the production of any hadronic system (such as a pion pair) and leads to the concept of multiparticle distribution amplitudes. I will discuss the physics behind these objects, the theoretical formalism, and the phenomenology of processes where they appear.
