Study of pesudoscalar transition form factors within light front quark model
We study the transition form factors of the pesudoscalar mesons (
and ) as functions of the momentum transfer within the
light-front quark model. We compare our results with the recent experimental
data by CELLO, CLEO, BaBar and Belle. By considering the possible uncertainties
from the quark masses, we illustrate that our predicted form factors can fit
with all the data, including those at the large regions.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Pion transition form factor at the two-loop level vis-\`a-vis experimental data
We use light-cone QCD sum rules to calculate the pion-photon transition form
factor, taking into account radiative corrections up to the
next-to-next-to-leading order of perturbation theory. We compare the obtained
predictions with all available experimental data from the CELLO, CLEO, and the
BaBar Collaborations. We point out that the BaBar data are incompatible with
the convolution scheme of QCD, on which our predictions are based, and can
possibly be explained only with a violation of the factorization theorem. We
pull together recent theoretical results and comment on their significance.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables. Presented by the first author at

Chiral Suppression of Scalar Glueball Decay
Because glueballs are SU(3)_{Flavor} singlets, they are expected to couple
equally to u,d, and s quarks, so that equal coupling strengths to \pi^+\pi^-
and K^+K^- are predicted. However, we show that chiral symmetry implies the
scalar glueball amplitude for G_0 \to \qbq is proportional to the quark mass,
so that mixing with \sbs mesons is enhanced and decays to K^+K^- are favored
over \pi^+\pi^-. Together with evidence from lattice calculations and from
experiment, this supports the hypothesis that f_0(1710) is the ground state
scalar glueball.Comment: 9 pages; This revision reconciles posting (approximately) with

Hadronic Form Factors: Combining QCD Calculations with Analyticity
I discuss recent applications of QCD light-cone sum rules to various form
factors of pseudoscalar mesons. In this approach both soft and hard
contributions to the form factors are taken into account. Combining QCD
calculation with the analyticity of the form factors, one enlarges the region
of accessible momentum transfers.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, Talk at the Workshop "Shifmania, Crossing the

transition form factor within Light Front Quark Model
We study the transition form factor of as a
function of the momentum transfer within the light-front quark model
(LFQM). We compare our result with the experimental data by BaBar as well as
other calculations based on the LFQM in the literature. We show that our
predicted form factor fits well with the experimental data, particularly those
at the large region.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in PR
A Comprehensive Analysis on the Pion-Photon Transition Form Factor Beyond the Leading Fock State
We perform a comprehensive analysis of the pion-photon transition form factor
involving the transverse momentum corrections with the
present CLEO experimental data, in which the contributions beyond the leading
Fock state have been taken into consideration. As is well-known, the leading
Fock-state contribution dominates of at large momentum
transfer () region. One should include the contributions beyond the
leading Fock state in small region. In this paper, we construct a
phenomenological expression to estimate the contributions beyond the leading
Fock state based on its asymptotic behavior at . Our present
theoretical results agree well with the experimental data in the whole
region. Then, we extract some useful information of the pionic leading twist-2
distribution amplitude (DA) by comparing our results of
with the CLEO data. By taking best fit, we have the DA moments,
,
and all of higher moments, which are closed to the asymptotic-like behavior of
the pion wavefunction.Comment: 25 pages, 7 figures. Typo error correcte
Information on the Pion Distribution Amplitude from the Pion-Photon Transition Form Factor with the Belle and BaBar Data
The pion-photon transition form factor (TFF) provides strong constraints on
the pion distribution amplitude (DA). We perform an analysis of all existing
data (CELLO, CLEO, BaBar, Belle) on the pion-photon TFF by means of light-cone
pQCD approach in which we include the next-to-leading order correction to the
valence-quark contribution and estimate the non-valence-quark contribution by a
phenomenological model based on the TFF's limiting behavior at both
and . At present, the pion DA is not definitely determined, it is
helpful to have a pion DA model that can mimic all the suggested behaviors,
especially to agree with the constraints from the pion-photon TFF in whole
measured region within a consistent way. For the purpose, we adopt the
conventional model for pion wavefunction/DA that has been constructed in our
previous paper \cite{hw1}, whose broadness is controlled by a parameter . We
fix the DA parameters by using the CELLO, CLEO, BABAR and Belle data within the
smaller region ( GeV), where all the data are consistent
with each other. And then the pion-photon TFF is extrapolated into larger
region. We observe that the BABAR favors which has the behavior close
to the Chernyak-Zhitnitsky DA, whereas the recent Belle favors which
is close to the asymptotic DA. We need more accurate data at large region
to determine the precise value of , and the definite behavior of pion DA can
be concluded finally by the consistent data in the coming future.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. Slightly changed and references update
Chiral Anomaly Effects and the BaBar Measurements of the Transition Form Factor
The recent BaBar measurements of the transition
form factor show spectacular deviation from perturbative QCD prediction for
large space-like up to . When plotted against ,
shows steady increase with in contrast with the flat
behavior predicted by perturbative QCD, and at is
more than 50% larger than the QCD prediction. Stimulated by the BaBar
measurements, we revisit our previous paper on the cancellation of anomaly
effects in high energy processes , and apply our results to the
transition form factor measured in the
process with one highly virtual photon. We find that, the transition form
factor behaves as and produces a striking agreement with the BaBar data
for with which also reproduces very well the
CLEO data at lower .Comment: v4, LaTeX, 8 pages, one figure, minor changes(references), to appear

Photon-meson transition form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons
The photon-meson transition form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons , , and are systematically calculated in a
light-cone framework, which is applicable as a light-cone quark model at low
and is also physically in accordance with the light-cone pQCD approach
at large . The calculated results agree with the available experimental
data at high energy scale. We also predict the low behaviors of the
photon-meson transition form factors of , and , which are measurable in process via Primakoff
