QCD corrections to transverse-momentum-dependent pion wave function develop the mixed double logarithm [Formula: see text], when the gluon emission is collinear to the energetic pion. The fist scheme-independent kT factorization formula for γ*π → γ transition form factor is achieved by resumming all the enhanced logarithms for both pion wave function and short-distance coefficient function. High-order QCD corrections and transfer momentum [Formula: see text] dependence of pion form factor are found to be distinct from those predicted by the conventional resummation approach.

We study the pion electromagnetic and γ*+π0→γ transition form factors at intermediate momentum transfer. We calculate soft, nonperturbative corrections to the leading perturbative amplitudes which arise from the [Formula: see text] component of the pion wave function. We work in Minkowski space and use a Lorentz-covariant, gauge-invariant generalized perturbative integral representation for the [Formula: see text] amplitudes. For the transition form factor we find relative insensitivity to the detailed nonperturbative structure of the wave function for |q2|≳10 GeV 2, whereas considerable sensitivity is found for the electromagnetic form factor.

Transverse momentum dependence in the perturbative calculation of the pion electromagnetic form factor is re-analyzed. It is found that (a) the intrinsic transverse momentum dependence associated with the pion wave function significantly suppresses perturbative prediction for the pion form factor at the energy region of a few GeV, and (b) the transverse momentum dependence in the fermion propagator of the hard scattering leads to a mild reduction of the perturbative calculation. Our formalism is available for both the intermediate energy region (Q~ a few GeV) and the asymptotic energy region (Q→∞).
