$M1$ Radiative Transition of Light Mesons in the Light-Front Quark Model

We investigate the $M1$ radiative transitions between light vector $\mathcal{V}$ and pseudoscalar $\mathcal{P}$ mesons in the 1S and 2S states in the light-front quark model. To this end, we use the light-front wave functions (LFWFs) obtained from the QCD-motivated effective Hamiltonian that includes smeared spin-spin interactions, where a few harmonic oscillator basis functions were employed as trial wave functions. The results, including their couplings and widths, obtained from LFWFs with different trial wave functions are compared with the available experimental data and other theoretical predictions.
