Electromagnetic form factors serve to explore the intrinsic structure of nucleons and their strangeness partners. For the decay $\Sigma^0\to\Lambda e^+e^-$, due to limited phase space, the effects caused by the Sigma-to-Lambda transition…

In this thesis we discuss a rational and data-based description of the single- and double-virutal transition form factors of the lightest pseudoscalar mesons. We obtain an accurate description of these in the spacelike and low-energy…
The standard method for determining matrix elements in lattice QCD requires the computation of three-point correlation functions. This has the disadvantage of requiring two large time separations: one between the hadron source and operator…
