The $\gamma^\ast \gamma \to \pi^0$ transition form factor, $G(Q^2)$, is computed on the entire domain of spacelike momenta using a continuum approach to the two valence-body bound-state problem in relativistic quantum field theory: the…

[Background] Above the nucleon resonance region, the $N(e,e'\pi^\pm)N'$ data cannot be explained by conventional hadronic models. For example, the observed magnitude of the transverse cross section is significantly underestimated in a…
In this paper we calculate the power corrections to the pion transition form factor within the framework of perturbative QCD approach on the basis of $k_T$ factorization. The power suppressed contributions from higher twist pion wave…
The transversity form factors of the pion, involving matrix elements of bilocal tensor currents, are evaluated in chiral quark models, both in the local Nambu--Jona-Lasinio with the Pauli-Villars regularization, as well as in nonlocal…

The recent BaBar measurements of the $\gamma\gamma^{*}\to \pi^{0}$ form factor show spectacular deviation from perturbative QCD computations for large space-like $Q^{2}$. At $34\,\rm GeV^{2}$ the data are more than 50% larger than…
The surprising results by the BarBar collaboration on the $\pi\gamma$ transition form factor require new thoughts about the high-$Q^2$ dependence of the form factors with virtual photons. We make use of the anomaly sum rule [J. Horejsi and…
Measuring the lepton anomalous magnetic moments $(g-2)$ and the rare decays of light pseudoscalar mesons into lepton pairs $P\to l^{+}l^{-} $, serve as important tests of the Standard Model. To reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the…
The vector pion form factor is used as an example to analyze this question. Given the experimental radius of the pion, the crucial question is whether perturbative methods could be used for the effective chiral lagrangian to calculate the…

The transition form factor of a gamma into three pions $F_{3\pi}$ are studied in a framework of nonlocal chiral quark model. In local limit the result is agreement with chiral perturbative theory and reproduce Wess-Zumino-Witten anomaly.…
Recent measurement of the $\gamma\gamma^\ast$ form factor of the neutral pion in the high $Q^2$ region disagrees with {\em a priori} predictions of QCD-based calculations. We comment on existing explanations, and analyze a possibility that…
We study the transition form factors of the light mesons in the kinematics, where one photon is real and other is virtual. Using the dispersive approach to axial anomaly we show that the axial anomaly in this case reveals itself as a…
