By using a 2.92 fb$^{-1}$ data sample taken at $\sqrt{s} = 3.773$ GeV with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, we search for the radiative transitions $\psi(3770)\to\gamma\eta_c$ and $\gamma\eta_c(2S)$ through the hadronic…
We have resummed all the (-b_0 alpha_s)^n contributions to the photon-meson transition form factor F_{gamma pi}. To do this, we have used the assumption of `naive nonabelianization' (NNA). Within NNA, a series in (N_f alfa_s)^n is…
We discuss the processes $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$ and $\eta\to\pi^0 \gamma\gamma$ at $O(p^6)$ in the momentum expansion. The calculation involves tree--level, one--loop and two--loop diagrams of a chiral effective lagrangian which is…
This work is devoted to the formulation and derivation of the $\eta{-}\mu{/}$gamma and $\lambda{-}\mu{/}$gamma distributions which correspond to physical fading models. These distributions are composite and are based on the $\eta-\mu$ and…
We improve the calculations of the $\eta \to \pi^0 \gamma \gamma$ decay within the context of meson chiral lagrangians. We use a chiral unitary approach for the meson-meson interaction, thus generating the $a_0(980)$ resonance and fixing…

The NA60 experiment at the CERN SPS has studied low-mass muon pairs in 158A GeV In-In collisions. The mass and pT spectra associated with peripheral collisions can quantitatively be described by the known neutral meson decays. The high data…
Using a data sample of $1.31\times10^{9} ~J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, a search for $\eta'\to\gamma\gamma\eta$ via $J/\psi\to\gamma\eta'$ is performed for the first time. No significant $\eta'$ signal is observed in…

The analysis of the $\pi\gamma$ transition form factor provides severe constraints on the pion's wave function. This information is used to examine charmonium decays into two pions critically. It will be argued that the standard…
