Two-body bound states such as mesons are described by solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We discuss recent results for the pseudoscalar and vector meson masses and leptonic decay constants, ranging from pions up to c\bar{c} bound…
The $\pi^0$ pole constitutes the lowest-lying singularity of the hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) tensor, and thus provides the leading contribution in a dispersive approach to HLbL scattering in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon…

In this thesis we discuss the decays of the pseudoscalar mesons (the neutral pion, the eta and eta-prime) which are governed by the chiral anomaly. Some of these decays are of special interest because their study permits a deep insight into…

Weak $B^-\rightarrow D^0, \pi^0$ and $D^-\rightarrow {K}^0, \pi^0$ transition form factors are described in both the space- and time-like momentum transfer regions, within a constituent-quark model. Neutrino-meson scattering and…
The standard model (SM) of particle physics is spectacularly successful, yet the measured value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment $(g-2)_\mu$ deviates from SM calculations by 3.6$\sigma$. Several theoretical models attribute this to the…
In this work, we present an evaluation of subleading effects in the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Using a recently derived optimized basis, we first study the matching of axial-vector…
The present report of the RF2 Topical Group to Snowmass 2021 describes the physics case for the studies of weak decays of strange and light quarks. Ongoing and proposed precision measurements of kaon, hyperon, pion and $\eta^{(\prime)}$…
We show how light scalar fields can account for the discrepancy between the theoretical and observed values of the anomalous magnetic moment of the (anti)muon. When coupled to both matter and photons, light scalar fields induce a change of…
