We study the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon in a collective model of baryons. In an algebraic approach to hadron structure, we derive closed expressions for both elastic and transition form factors, and consequently for the…
The amplitudes for photoproduction of two pseudoscalars on a nucleon are expanded in the overall c.m. frame in a model independent way with respect to the contribution of the final state partial wave of total angular momentum $J$ and its…

The meson (pion and kaon) form factor is calculated in the perturbative framework with alternative forms for the running coupling constant and the gluon propagator in the infrared kinematic region. These modified forms are employed to test…
P-wave amplitudes for elastic K+ K- photoproduction on hydrogen near the phi(1020) resonance have been derived in an analytical form and a partial wave decomposition of the amplitudes has been performed. We discuss the high energy limit of…
The pion and kaon electromagnetic form factors $F_M(Q^2)$ are calculated at the leading order of pQCD using the running coupling constant method. In calculations a dependence of the mesons distribution amplitudes on the hard scale $Q^2$ is…
Ambiguities in pseudoscalar-meson photoproduction, arising from incomplete experimental data, have analogs in pion-nucleon scattering. Amplitude ambiguities have important implications for the problems of amplitude extraction and resonance…
It was proposed in hep-th/0403047 that all tree amplitudes in pure Yang-Mills theory can be constructed from known MHV amplitudes. We apply this approach for calculating tree amplitudes of gauge fields and fermions and find agreement with…
We examine the photoproduction of the light scalar mesons $f_0$-$a_0 (980)$ with emphasis on isospin-violating $f_0$ and $a_0$ mixing due to the mass difference between neutral and charged kaons. General forms for the invariant amplitude…
Similarly to the electromagnetic pseudoscalar-meson transition form factors one can define also strange-quark vector current pseudoscalar-meson transition form factors, contributing only to a behaviour of the isoscalar parts of the previous…
The exclusive photoproduction of a pair of light mesons is studied within the framework of collinear factorisation. The amplitude factorises into a process-dependent perturbatively calculable hard part, a generalised parton distribution…
We present a brief discussion of the general form of the amplitude that describes the two-pion photoproduction process. We outline an effective Lagrangian method that we are using to calculate this amplitude, and comment briefly on a few…
A gauge-invariant formalism is presented for the practical treatment of photo- and electroproduction of pseudoscalar mesons off nucleons that allows an explicit incorporation of hadronic final-state interactions. The semi-phenomenological…
The form factors for the transitions pi-photon, eta-photon, eta'-photon and etac-photon are analyzed within the modified perturbative approach in which quark transverse degrees of freedom are retained. The results for the form factors are…
We study photon-meson transition formfactors of light mesons in the kinematics, where one photon is real and other is virtual. Dispersive approach to axial anomaly leads to the anomaly sum rule. The absence of corrections to it allows us to…
We provide an in-depth analysis of the $\pi$ distribution amplitude in terms of two different Gegenbauer representations. Detailed predictions for the $\pi-\gamma$ transition form factor are presented, obtained with light-cone sum rules.…
Partial wave amplitudes for production and decay of baryon resonances are constructed in the framework of the operator expansion method. The approach is fully relativistically invariant and allow us to perform combined analyses of different…
The exact form of the form-factor associated with a meson-photon-photon vertex is not known. Different suggestions exist, based on constraints from QCD and on recent experiments. Four different form-factors are studied in this article. We…
The problem of extracting photoproduction amplitudes uniquely from so called complete experiments is discussed. This problem can be considered either for the extraction of full production amplitudes, or for the determination of multipoles.…
We study the transition form factors of the light mesons in the kinematics, where one photon is real and other is virtual. Using the dispersive approach to axial anomaly we show that the axial anomaly in this case reveals itself as a…
