abstract
This letter is an investigation of the pion form factor utilizing recently developed effective field theory techniques. The primary results reported are: Both the transition and electromagnetic form factors are corrected at order $\Lambda/Q$. However, these corrections only arise due to time ordered products which are sensitive to soft components of the pion. The usual higher twist wave function corrections contribute only at order $\Lambda^2/Q^2$, when the quark mass vanishes. In the case of the electromagnetic form factor the $\Lambda/Q$ power correction is enhanced by a power of $1/\alpha_s(Q)$ relative to the leading order result of Brodsky and Lepage, if the scale $\sqrt{\Lambda Q}$ is non-perturbative. This enhanced correction could explain the discrepancy with the data.

The Classical Gravitational Impulse at High Energies
The gravitational impulse for ultrarelativistic massive scalars is resummed to all orders in G_N at fixed G_N s/mb, recovering post-Minkowski results and predicting the leading high-energy behavior to eleventh post-Minkowski order.
