The off-shell pion electromagnetic form factors are explored with corresponding off-shell light-front wave functions modeled by constituent quark and anti-quark. We apply the Mandelstam approach for the microscopic computation of the form…
We consider the pion structure in the region of low and moderately high momentum transfers: at low $Q^2$, the pion is treated as a composite system of constituent quarks; at moderately high momentum transfers, $Q^2=10\div25\;GeV^2$, the…
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 $G(Q^2)$…

High precision measurements of the proton elastic form factor ratio have been made at four-momentum transfers, Q^2, between 0.2 and 0.5 GeV^2. The new data, while consistent with previous results, clearly show a ratio less than unity and…
