In this paper, we study the transition form factors of the lightest pseudoscalar mesons, $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta'$, within the framework of resonance chiral theory. Our analysis is performed based on the data of time-like and space-like…
We study the $\gamma^* \gamma^*\to\eta_c$ transition form factor, $F_{\eta_c\gamma\gamma}(Q_1^2,Q_2^2),$ with the local-duality (LD) version of QCD sum rules. We analyse the extraction of this quantity from two different correlators,…
The low $Q^2$ slopes of the the transition form factors provide a unique method to measure the sizes of the neutral pseudo-scalar mesons, since they do not have electromagnetic form factors. From the slope one obtains the "axial transition…

We study the photon-to-meson transition form factors (TFFs) F_{M \gamma}(Q^2) for gamma gamma^* \to M using light-front holographic methods. The Chern-Simons action, which is a natural form in 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, leads…
