We study the $\eta'-g^*-g$ transition form factor by using the $\eta'$ wave function constrained by the experimental data on the $\eta'-\gamma^*-\gamma$ transition form factor provided by CLEO and L3 . We also take into account the…
We use QCD sum-rules to study the decays $\phi \to \eta \gamma$ and $\phi \to \eta^\prime \gamma$, obtaining ${\cal B}(\phi \to \eta \gamma)=(1.15 \pm 0.2) 10^{-2}$ and ${\cal B}(\phi \to \eta^\prime \gamma)=(1.18 \pm 0.4) 10^{-4}$, in very…
We perform a theoretical analysis of the semileptonic decays $\eta^{(\prime)} \to \pi^0 \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $\eta' \to \eta \ell^+ \ell^-$, where $\ell = e, \mu$, via a charge-conjugation-conserving two-photon mechanism. The underlying form…
The electromagnetic transition form factors of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ are calculated in the light-cone perturbation theory. We show that it is unreliable to determine the \eta-\etap'$ mixing angle without any additional normalization conditions…
I briefly review the formalism for treating the leading-twist two-gluon states appearing in processes which involve eta and eta' mesons. The constraints on the size of the lowest order Gegenbauer coefficients of the two-gluon distribution…

We perform a thorough analysis of the VP\gamma(\gamma*) and P\gamma\gamma(\gamma*) decays in the resonance chiral theory, where V stand for the vector resonances \rho, K*, \omega, \phi, P stand for \pi, K, \eta, \eta' and \gamma*…
$X(2370)$ falls in the mass region of the lowest pseudoscalar glueball predicted by lattice QCD studies and its decay properties are similar to those of $\eta_c$. A previous lattice QCD study finds that the pseudoscalar glueball ($G_{0^-}$)…
We study $\rho-\omega-$interference by analyzing $J/\psi\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0\pi^0$. PDG-2002 data on $J/\psi$ decays into $PP$ and $PV$ ($P$ denotes pseudoscalar mesons; $V$, vector mesons) are used to fit a generic model which describes the…
We discuss the impact of recent progress in semileptonic D decays on light flavour spectroscopy and estimate mixing parameters in the eta-eta^prime system.
The ratios of partial widths for the decay of a glueball into two pseudoscalar mesons are calculated under the assumption that the production of light quark pairs ($u\bar u,d\bar d,s\bar s$) in soft gluon-\-induced reactions goes on within…
The $J/\Psi$ decay into a baryon pair and a pseudoscalar meson is computed, for some channels, in lowest order in perturbative QCD, modeling the baryon with a quark-diquark system. We use a set of parameters that has been proposed by some…
The known ratio of the branching fractions for D_s^* --> D_s pi^0 and D_s^* --> D_s gamma may be used to extract the coupling of eta mesons to strange quarks once the value of the pi^0-eta mixing angle is known. This requires that realistic…

The radiative decays of the pseudoscalar mesons $P=(\pi^0,\eta,\eta')$ are of special interest as they provide an experimental window on the electromagnetic and colour chiral $U_A(1)$ anomalies. $\pi^0\to\gamma\gamma$ is well described by…
We analyze the $\gamma p \to \eta p$ process from threshold up to 1.2 GeV, employing an effective Lagrangian approach that allows for a mixing of eta couplings of pseudoscalar and pseudovector nature. The mixing ratio of the couplings may…
