Pseudoscalar transition form factors from rational approximants

摘要

The π~0, η, and η' 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 part of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, and for the mixing parameters of the η - η' system.
