Pseudoscalar Transition Form Factors from Rational Approximants

The $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta^\prime$ transition form factors in the space-like region are analyzed at low and intermediate energies in a model-independent way through the use of rational approximants. Slope and curvature parameters as well as their values at infinity are extracted from experimental data. These results are suited for constraining hadronic models such as the ones used for the hadronic light-by-light scattering piece of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, and for the mixing parameters of the $\eta - \eta^\prime$ system.Comment: Contribution to the 13th International Conference on Meson-Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon (MENU 2013), Rome, Italy, 30 September - October 4, 2013. 4 pages, 3 figures. v2: Reference adde

η\eta and η′\eta' transition form factors from Pad\'e approximants

We employ a systematic and model-independent method to extract, from space- and time-like data, the $\eta$ and $\eta'$ transition form factors (TFFs) obtaining the most precise determination for their low-energy parameters and discuss the $\Gamma_{\eta\rightarrow\gamma\gamma}$ impact on them. Using TFF data alone, we also extract the $\eta-\eta'$ mixing parameters, which are compatible to those obtained from more sophisticated and input-demanding procedures.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, presented at the 13th International Workshop on Meson Production, Properties and Interaction (MESON 2014); added reference
