We investigate the form factors for pseudoscalar-meson-photon transitions by means of dispersive QCD sum rules and demonstrate that most of the measurements done so far (in particular, those by BaBar for $\eta,$ $\eta',$ and $\eta_c$ and…
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…
