We discuss different QCD approaches to calculate the form factor F^{\gamma^*\gamma\pi}(Q^2) of the \gamma^*\gamma\to\pi^{0} transition giving preference to the light-cone QCD sum rules (LCSR) approach as being the most adequate. In this…
We study consistently the pion's static observables and the elastic and \gamma*\gamma -> \pi^0 transition form factors within a light-front model. Consistency requires that all calculations are performed within a given model with the same…
