Electromagnetic pion form factor at finite temperature
arXiv:hep-ph/9408204 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(94)90385-9
Abstract
The electromagnetic form factor of the pion in the space-like region, and at finite temperature, $F_Ï(Q^{2},T)$, is obtained from a QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule. The form factor decreases with increasing T, and vanishes at some critical temperature, where the pion radius diverges. This divergence may be interpreted as a signal for quark deconfinement.
