We present a theoretical study of the $\gamma\gamma^{*} \to \pi^+\pi^-, \pi^0\pi^0$ processes from the threshold through the $f_2(1270)$ region in the $\pi\pi$ invariant mass. We adopt the Omn\`es representation in order to account for…
We investigate the possibility to constrain the pion distribution amplitude from the gamma* gamma* -> pi transition. For a surprisingly large range in the two photon virtualities we find that the transition form factor is essentially…
The processes $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-X$, with $X$ being either the $\eta$ meson or $\pi^0\pi^0$, are studied at DA$\Phi$NE, with $e^+e^-$ beams colliding at $\sqrt{s}\simeq1$ GeV, below the $\phi$ resonance peak. The data sample is from an…
The process e^+e^-\to\pi^0\gamma in the energy range \sqrt{s}=0.60-1.06 GeV was studied at VEPP-2M collider with SND detector using 14 pb^{-1} of integrated luminosity. Data were analyzed in the framework of the vector meson dominance…
We study the process $e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-\eta \gamma$, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 8000 fully reconstructed events of this process are selected from the BaBar data sample with an integrated luminosity of…

We evaluate the $\pi^0\gamma^* \to \gamma$ transition form factor and $\gamma\gamma$ decay widths for $\pi^0, \eta_c$ and $\eta_b$ treated as $q\bar{q}$ bound states in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, incorporating the dynamical chiral…
The $e^+e^- \to \omega \pi^0 \to \pi^0 \pi^0 \gamma$ process was investigated in the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M collider. A narrow energy interval near the $\phi$-meson was scanned. The observed cross-section reveals, at the level of…
The potential of DAPHNE to explore direct radiative decay $\phi \to \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ is studied in detail. Predictions of different theoretical models for this decay are compared. We find that it should be possible to discriminate…
A combined analysis of data on isoscalar S-wave processes $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\overline{K},\eta\eta$ and on decays $J/\psi\to\phi\pi\pi,\phi K\overline{K}$ from the DM2, Mark III and BESIII collaborations is performed to study $f_0$ mesons.…
Within the framework of the effective Lagrangian approach, we perform a thorough analysis of the $J/\psi \to P\gamma(\gamma^*)$, $J/\psi \to VP$, $V\to P\gamma(\gamma^*)$, $P\to V\gamma(\gamma^*)$ and $P\to\gamma\gamma(\gamma^*)$ processes,…
The scalar contributions to the radiative decays of light vector mesons into a pair of neutral pseudoscalars, $V\to P^0P^0\gamma$, are studied within the framework of the Linear Sigma Model. This model has the advantage of incorporating not…
The cross section for different processes induced by $e^+e^-$ annihilation, in the kinematical limit $\beta_{\mu}\approx\beta_{\pi}=(1-m_{\pi}^2/\epsilon^2)^{1/2}\sim 1$, is calculated taking into account first order corrections to the…
The photon-meson transition form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons $\pi ^{0}$, $\eta$, and $\eta ^{\prime}$ are systematically calculated in a light-cone framework, which is applicable as a light-cone quark model at low $Q^{2}$ and is…
We study the process $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$ involving the principle mechanisms, the structure of its cross section and the role of individual isoscalar-tensor resonances in the saturation of its energy spectrum.
The most general amplitude for the radiative pion decay pi -> e nu gamma including terms beyond V-A theory is considered. The experimental constraints on the decay amplitude components are discussed. A model independent presentation of the…
We describe the interference between amplitudes $e^+e^- \to \rho \to \gamma\pi^+\pi^-$ and $e^+e^- \to \phi \to \gamma f_0 \to \gamma\pi^+\pi^-$, where $f_0$ meson is considered in the frameworks of the four-quark model and the model of the…
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.
We present an analysis of the process $e^+e^-\to V^*\to\pi\pi\gamma$, where $V=\gamma$ or $V=Z$ boson, in the kinematical region where $\sqrt{s}$, the c.m. energy of the $e^+e^-$ pair, is large but much below the $Z$-pole. The subprocess…
