Abstract

We calculate Sudakov-type form factors for isolated spin-1/2 particles (fermions) entering non-Abelian gauge-field systems. We consider both the on- and the off-mass-shell case using a methodology which rests on a worldline casting of field theories. The simplicity and utility of our approach derives from the fact that we are in a position to make, a priori, a more transparent separation (factorization), with respect to a given scale, between short- and long-distance physics than diagramatic methods.
