We investigate the two-particle twist-3 distribution amplitudes (DAs) of the pseudoscalar mesons, in particular pseudoscalar ($\phi^P_{3;M}(x)$) and pseudotensor ($\phi^\sigma_{3;M}(x)$) DAs of the pion and kaon, in the light-front quark…
In the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSE), we compute the $\gamma^*\gamma\to\pi^0$ transition form factor, $G(Q^2)$. For the first time, in a continuum approach to quantun chromodynamics (QCD), it was possible to compute $G(Q^2)$…
