The pion charge and scalar form factors, $F_1(Q^2)$ and $F_0(Q^2)$, are first calculated in different forms of relativistic quantum mechanics. This is done using the solution of a mass operator that contains both confinement and…
It has been pointed out that the recent BaBar data on the pi gamma^* -> gamma transition form factor F_{pi gamma}(Q^2) at low (high) momentum transfer squared Q^2 indicate an asymptotic (flat) pion distribution amplitude. These seemingly…
It is noted that the low-energy behavior of the pion-photon transition form factor $F_{\pi\gamma}(Q^2)$ is sensitive to the transverse distribution of the pion wavefunction, and its high-energy behavior is sensitive to the longitudinal one.…

The behavior of the transition pion form factor for processes \gamma^*\gamma -> \pi^0 and \gamma^* \gamma^* -> \pi^0 at large values of space-like photon momenta is estimated within the nonlocal covariant quark-pion model. It is shown that,…
The scalar radius of the pion plays an important role in CHPT, because it is related to one of the basic effective coupling constants, viz. the one which controls the quark mass dependence of F_pi at one loop. In a recent paper, Yndurain…
We use the recently measured accurate BaBaR data on the modulus of the pion electromagnetic form factor, $F_\pi(t)$, up to an energy of 3 GeV, the I=1 $P$-wave phase of the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude up to the $\omega-\pi$ threshold, the…
We discuss the impact of recent Belle data on our description of the pion transition form factor based on the assumption that a perturbative formalism and a nonperturbative one can be matched in a physically acceptable manner at a certain…
We analyze $F_\pi(Q^2)$ and $F_{P\gamma}(Q^2)$, $P=\pi,\eta,\eta'$, within the local-duality (LD) version of QCD sum rules, which allows one to obtain predictions for hadron form factors in a broad range of momentum transfers. To probe the…
We present an analysis of QCD sum rules for pion form factor in next-to-leading order of perturbation theory for the case of pseudoscalar pion currents. The essential instanton contribution is reanalysed with account for present more…
Recent experiment indicates that the behavior exhibited by the ratios $E_{1^+}/M_{1^+}$ and $S_{1^+}/M_{1^+}$ of the $\gamma^* N \leftrightarrow \Delta$ transition remain small and negative for $Q^2 \le 4.0 GeV^2$. It implies that the…
