Light-front holographic radiative transition form factors for light mesons

Abstract

We predict the VPγ\mathcal{V} \to \mathcal{P} \gamma decay widths and the VPγ\mathcal{V} \to \mathcal{P} \gamma^{*} transition form factors, where V=(ρ,ω,K,ϕ)\mathcal{V}=(\rho, \omega, K^*, \phi) and P=(π,K,η,η)\mathcal{P}= (\pi,K, \eta,\eta^\prime), using spin-improved holographic light-front wavefunctions for the mesons. We find excellent agreement with the available data for both the decay widths and the timelike transition form factors extracted from the leptonic conversion decays VPl+l\mathcal{V} \to \mathcal{P} l^+ l^-.
