The charge and transition form factors of pion ($F_\pi$, $F_{\pi\gamma}$, and $F_{\pi\gamma^*}$) are studied with the light-front quark model. We find that our results for $F_\pi$ and $F_{\pi\gamma}$ agree very well with experimental data.…

Within the frameworks of the light-front quark model (LFQM) and chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) of $O(p^6)$, we reevaluate the form factors of the $K^+ \to \gamma$ transition. We use these form factors to study the decay of $K^+ \to e^+…

The ratios $R_{\tau/P}\equiv \Gamma(\tau \to P \nu_\tau [\gamma]) / \Gamma(P \to\mu \nu_\mu[\gamma])$ ($P=\pi, K$) provide sensitive tests of lepton universality $\left|g_\tau/g_\mu\right|=1$ and are a useful tool for new physics searches.…
