Lattice computations of the pion form factor

We report on a program to compute the electromagnetic form factors of mesons. We discuss the techniques used to compute the pion form factor and present results computed with domain-wall valence fermions on MILC asqtad lattices, as well as with Wilson fermions on quenched lattices. We find that the full-QCD form factor is well described by a VMD picture, with the pole mass in the chiral limit $m_{\mathrm{VMD}}=0.868(65)\mathrm{GeV}$. However, the quenched Wilson fermion results are suggestive of large scaling violations.
