abstract
The electromagnetic form factors of hadrons at large momentum transfer have been the subject of intense theoretical and experimental scrutiny over the past two decades, yet there is still not a universally-accepted framework for their description. This review is a synopsis of their current status at large momentum transfer. The basic theoretical approaches to form factors at large momentum transfer are developed, emphasizing the valence quark and Feynman (soft) pictures. The discussion includes the relation of these descriptions to the parton model, as well as the roles of factorization, evolution, Sudakov resummation and QCD sum rules. This is followed by a discussion of the experimental status of pion and nucleon elastic form factors and resonance production amplitudes in the light of recent data, highlighting the successes and shortcomings of various theoretical proposals.

Covariant Construction of Generalized Form Factors
A group-theoretic construction yields complete form factor bases for scalar, vector, and tensor operators on spin-1/2 to spin-2 particles, with new P and T structures for higher spins and identification of a redundant conserved structure for spin-2 in existing literature.
