We extend the QCD sum rule analysis of the \gamma^*\gamma^* -->\pi^o form factor into the region where one of the photons has small virtuality: q^2 << Q^2 > 1 GeV^2. In this kinematics, one should perform an additional factorization of…
We develop a QCD sum rule analysis of the form factor $F_{\gamma^*\gamma^*\pi^0}(q^2,Q^2)$ in the region where virtuality of one of the spacelike photons is small $q^2 \ll 1 GeV^2$ while another is large: $Q^2 \gapprox 1 GeV^2$. We…
In this paper we present the result of a direct QCD sum rule calculation of the transition form factor \gamma\gamma* -> pi^o in the region of moderately large invariant momentum Q^2 > 1GeV^2 of the virtual photon. In contrast to pQCD, we…
The gamma^* --> gamma pi^0 transition measured at different photon virtualities already provides us with a clean test for the behaviour of the pi^0 gamma^* gamma off-shell axial anomaly at large time-like squared momenta. It also allows…
The transition gamma*(q_1)gamma*(q_2) -> \pi0(p) is studied within the QCD sum rule framework. As a first step, we analyze the kinematic situation when both photon virtualities are spacelike and large. We construct a QCD sum rule for…
We study the $P\to\gamma\,\gamma^*$ ($P=\pi^0,\eta,\eta'$) transition form factors by means of the local-duality (LD) version of QCD sum rules. For the case of $\eta$ and $\eta'$, the conventional LD model provides a good description of the…
The surprising results by the BarBar collaboration on the $\pi\gamma$ transition form factor require new thoughts about the high-$Q^2$ dependence of the form factors with virtual photons. We make use of the anomaly sum rule [J. Horejsi and…
We argue that high-quality data on the reaction $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\eta$ will allow one to determine the doubly-virtual form factor $\eta\to \gamma^*\gamma^*$ in a model-independent way with controlled accuracy. This is an important step…
The behaviour of the pion transition form factor for the process $\gamma^\star\gamma \to \pi^0$ and $\gamma^\star\gamma^\star\to \pi^0$ at space-like values of photon momenta is estimated within the nonlocal covariant quark-meson model. The…
We study the transition form factor of $\pi^0\to\gamma^* \gamma$ as a function of the momentum transfer $Q^2$ within the light-front quark model (LFQM). We compare our result with the experimental data by BaBar as well as other calculations…
The behavior of the transition pion form factor for processes \gamma^*\gamma -> \pi^0 and \gamma^* \gamma^* -> \pi^0 at large values of space-like photon momenta is estimated within the nonlocal covariant quark-pion model. It is shown that,…

The method of light-cone QCD sum rules is applied to the calculation of the form factors of $\gamma^*\rho \to \pi$ and $\gamma^*\gamma \to \pi^0$ transitions. We consider the dispersion relation for the $\gamma^*(Q^2)\gamma^*(q^2) \to…

The recent BaBar measurements of the $\gamma\gamma^{*}\to \pi^{0}$ form factor show spectacular deviation from perturbative QCD computations for large space-like $Q^{2}$. At $34\,\rm GeV^{2}$ the data are more than 50% larger than…
The recent BaBar measurements of the $\gamma\gamma^{*}\to \pi^{0}$ transition form factor show spectacular deviation from perturbative QCD prediction for large space-like $Q^{2}$ up to $34\,\rm GeV^{2}$. When plotted against $Q^{2}$,…
