abstract

We study the pion-photon transition form factor (TFF) $F^{\gamma*\gamma\pi^0}(Q^2)$ using a state-of-the art implementation of light cone sum rules (LCSRs) within fixed-order QCD perturbation theory. The spectral density in the dispersion relation includes all currently known radiative corrections up to the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) and all twist contributions up to order six. Predictions for the TFF are obtained for various pion distribution amplitudes (DAs) of twist two, including two-loop evolution which accounts for heavy-quark mass thresholds. The influence of the main theoretical uncertainties is quantified in order to enable a more realistic comparison with the data. The characteristics of various pion DAs are analyzed in terms of the conformal coefficients $a_2$ and $a_4$ in comparison with the $1\sigma$ and $2\sigma$ error regions of the data and the most recent lattice constraints on $a_2$ with NLO and NNLO accuracy. Our results provide more stringent bounds on the variation of the pion DA and illuminate the corresponding asymptotic behavior of the calculated TFF.

  1. Hadronic photon correction to $\gamma^{\ast} \gamma \to f_{2}(1270)$ at next-to-leading order

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hadronic photon corrections to gamma* gamma -> f2(1270) are computed at NLO with NLL resummation, giving updated form factors that raise T0 toward Belle data.

  2. Data-driven analysis of the $\gamma\gamma^*\rightarrow\pi^0$ system using mathematical models and the role of feedback-loop dynamics

    hep-ph 2024-12 reject novelty 2.0 of 10

    A two-parameter fit model yields a half-saturation relation that is algebraically trivial, and a claimed improved Belle fit that is not quantitatively demonstrated.
