Abstract

The photon-meson transition form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons π0\pi ^{0}, η\eta, and η\eta ^{\prime} are systematically calculated in a light-cone framework, which is applicable as a light-cone quark model at low Q2Q^{2} and is also physically in accordance with the light-cone pQCD approach at large Q2Q^{2}. The calculated results agree with the available experimental data at high energy scale. We also predict the low Q2Q^{2} behaviors of the photon-meson transition form factors of π0\pi ^{0}, η\eta and η\eta ^{\prime }, which are measurable in e+A(Nucleus)e+A+Me+A({Nucleus})\to e+A+M process via Primakoff effect at JLab and DESY.
