We give an accurate determination of the vector (electromagnetic) form factor, F (Q 2 ), for a light pseudoscalar meson up to squared momentum transfer Q 2 values of 6 GeV 2 for the first time from full lattice QCD, including u, d, s and c quarks in the sea at multiple values of the lattice spacing. Our results show good control of lattice discretisation and sea quark mass effects. We study a pseudoscalar meson made of valence s quarks but the qualitative picture obtained applies also to the π meson, relevant to upcoming experiments at Jefferson Lab. We find that Q 2 F (Q 2 ) becomes flat in the region between Q 2 of 2 GeV 2 and 6 GeV 2 , with a value well above that of the asymptotic perturbative QCD expectation, but well below that of the vector-meson dominance pole form appropriate to low Q 2 values. Our calculations show that we can reach higher Q 2 values in future to shed further light on where the perturbative QCD result emerges.
