We present the results of our recent analysis of the meson-photon transition form factors $F_{P\gamma}(Q^2)$ for the pseudoscalar mesons $P = \pi^0,\eta,\eta',\eta_c$, using the local-duality version of QCD sum rules.
The relation for transition form factors of eta and eta' mesons is obtained by combining the exact nonperturbative QCD sum rule, following from the dispersive representation of axial anomaly, and quark-hadron duality. It is valid at all…
Due to multiple possible polarizations hard exclusive production of tensor mesons by virtual photons or in heavy meson decays offers interesting possibilities to study the helicity structure of the underlying short-distance process.…
By means of QCD sum rules in local-duality limit, we analyze the behaviour of the form factors for the transitions of a real and a virtual photon to some pseudoscalar meson as functions of the involved momentum transfer. Except for the…
