Analysis of the J/psi --> pi^0 gamma^* transition form factor
2014
In view of the first measurement of the branching fraction for J/psi --> pi^0 e^+ e^- by the BESIII collaboration, we analyze what can be learnt on the corresponding transition form factor using dispersion theory. We show that light-quark degrees of freedom dominate the spectral function, in particular two-pion intermediate states. Estimating the effects of multi-pion states as well as charmonium, we arrive at a prediction for the complete form factor that should be scrutinized experimentally in the future.
