We calculate the double-virtual $\eta \rightarrow \gamma^* \gamma^*$ transition form factor $\mathcal{F}_{\eta \to \gamma^* \gamma^*}(q_1^2,q_2^2)$ from first principles using a lattice QCD simulation with $N_f=2+1+1$ quark flavors at the…
We amend a recent dispersive analysis of the anomalous $\eta$ decay process $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ by the effects of the $a_2$ tensor meson, the lowest-lying resonance that can contribute in the $\pi\eta$ system. While the net effects on…
The $\pi^0 \gamma\gamma$ vertex for virtual photons of squared masses $q_1^2$ and $q_2^2$ plays a vital r\^ole in several physical processes; for example for $q_1^2<0$, $q_2^2<0$, in the two-photon physics reaction $e^+ e^-\to e^+ e^-…
At leading-twist accuracy the form factors for the transitions from a virtual photon to the $\eta$ or $\eta'$ can be expanded into a power series of the variable $\omega$, being related to the difference of two photon virtualities. The…
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…
We present an analysis of the recent measurement of $\eta'$-meson production by two virtual photons made by BaBar collaboration. It is the first measurement of a transition form factor which is entirely within the kinematic regime of the…
We present a dispersive representation of the $\eta'$ transition form factor that allows one to account, in a consistent way, for the effects of $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing in both the isoscalar and the isovector contributions. Using this…
We compute the two-photon transition form factors of the light pseudoscalar $\pi^0$, $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ mesons in a soft-wall holographic model of QCD with a solution of the $U(1)_A$ problem. We compare the results with the…
Motivated by recent BABAR measurements of the $\gamma^*\to\gamma \eta$ and $\gamma^*\to\gamma \eta^\prime $ transition form factors, we estimate two-photon exchange contributions to the corresponding cross sections. By using a…
We study the $\gamma^* \gamma^*\to\eta_c$ transition form factor, $F_{\eta_c\gamma\gamma}(Q_1^2,Q_2^2),$ with the local-duality (LD) version of QCD sum rules. We analyse the extraction of this quantity from two different correlators,…
Working with Resonance Chiral Theory, within the two resonance multiplets saturation scheme, we satisfy leading (and some subleading) chiral and asymptotic QCD constraints and accurately fit simultaneously the $\pi^{0},\eta,\eta^{\prime}$…
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…
The Dalitz distribution and the effective mass spectrum of the lepton pair produced in the decay $\eta_c\to \gamma \ell^+ \ell^-$, as well as the differential cross sections for the crossed channels $\gamma e^-\to \eta_c e^- $ and $e^+…
We discuss $(\pi^0,\eta,\eta')\to\gamma^*\gamma$ transition form factors using the light-front quark model. Our discussion includes the analysis of the mixing angles for $\eta-\eta'$. Our results for $Q^2…
The evaluation of the numerically dominant pseudoscalar-pole contribution to hadronic light-by-light scattering in the muon g-2 involves the pseudoscalar-photon transition form factor F_{P gamma^* gamma^*}(-Q_1^2, -Q_2^2) with P = pi^0,…
We study the process $e^+e^-\to e^+e^- \eta'$ in the double-tag mode and measure for the first time the $\gamma^{\star}\gamma^{\star} \to \eta'$ transition form factor $F_{\eta'}(Q_1^2, Q_2^2)$ in the momentum-transfer range \mbox{2…
We present preliminary results from our calculation of the pseudoscalar transition form factors of the $\eta$ and $\eta'$ mesons using staggered quarks on $N_f=2+1+1$ gauge ensembles generated by the Budapest-Marseille-Wuppertal…
The photon transition form factors of $\pi$, $\eta$ and $\eta'$ are discussed in view of recent measurements. It is shown that the exact axial anomaly sum rule allows a precise comparison of all three form factors at high-$Q^2$ independent…
We present our model-independent and data-driven method to describe pseudoscalar meson transition form factors in the space- and (low-energy) time-like regions. The method is general and conforms a toolkit applicable to any other form…
Using a continuum approach to the hadron bound-state problem, we calculate $\gamma^\ast \gamma \to \eta, \eta^\prime$ transition form factors on the entire domain of spacelike momenta, for comparison with existing experiments and in…
