The πγ transition form factor and the pion wave function
Abstract
The pion wave function is discussed in the light of the recent CLEO data on the pion gamma transition form factor. It turns out that the wave function is close to the asymptotic form whereas wave functions strongly concentrated in the end-point regions are disfavoured. Consequences for other exclusive quantities, as for instance the pion's electromagnetic form factor, are also discussed.
