The pion-photon transition form factor (TFF) provides strong constraints on the pion distribution amplitude (DA). We perform an analysis of all existing data (CELLO, CLEO, BaBar, Belle) on the pion-photon TFF by means of light-cone pQCD…
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…

Light-cone sum rules are used to investigate the electromagnetic form factors of the $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ baryons by using the Ioffe type interpolating currents. The sum rules are affected to some extent by the choice of the interpolating…
