We study the impact of non-zero (and apparently large) value of the nucleon mass $M$ on the shape of parton quasi-distributions $Q(y,p_3)$, in particular on its change with the change of the nucleon momentum $p_3$. We observe that the usual…

The $\pi^0 \gamma\gamma$ vertex for virtual photons of squared masses $q_1^2$ and $q_2^2$ plays a vital r\^ole in several physical processes; for example for $q_1^2<0$, $q_2^2<0$, in the two-photon physics reaction $e^+ e^-\to e^+ e^-…
