We study the photo- and electro-productions of the vector kaon off the proton, i.e., $\gamma^{(*)}p\to K^{*+}\pi^0\Sigma^0$, and investigate the line shape of the $\pi^0\Sigma^0$ invariant mass in an effective Lagrangian approach with 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 $G(Q^2)$…

We calculate the momentum dependent form factors of $P \to \gamma^* \gamma^*$($P=\pi^{0}, \eta$) within the light-front quark model. Using the form factors, we examine the decays of $P \to l^+ l^-$, $P \to l^+ l^- \gamma$ and $P \to l^+ l^-…
We analyse various $U(1)_{EM}$ form factors of mesons at strong coupling in an $\mathcal{N}=2$ flavored version of $\mathcal{N}=4$ $SYM$ which becomes conformal in the UV. The quark mass breaks the conformal symmetry in the IR and generates…

We investigate the transition of the polarized photon structure function $g_1^\gamma(x,Q^2,P^2)$ when the target photon shifts from on-shell ($P^2=0$) to far off-shell ($P^2\gg \Lambda^2$) region. The analysis is performed to the…
