We describe the present status of the pion distribution amplitude (DA) as it originates from several sources: (i) a nonperturbative approach based on QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates, (ii) an $O(\alpha_s)$ QCD analysis of the CLEO…
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…
