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 $G(Q^2)$…
We present our recent results for the pion elastic form factor [1] obtained within a local-duality three-point sum rule (a Borel sum rule in the limit of an infinite Borel parameter). Our analysis includes the O(1) and O(\alpha_s)…
We describe the present status of the pion distribution amplitude (DA) as it originates from several sources: (i) a nonperturbative approach based on QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates, (ii) an $O(\alpha_s)$ QCD analysis of the CLEO…
