Transition form factors ${\gamma }^{\ast }\gamma \to \eta$ and ${\gamma }^{\ast }\gamma \to {\eta }^{\prime }$ in QCD

Abstract

We update the theoretical framework for the QCD calculation of transition form factors ${\gamma }^{\ast }\gamma \to \eta$ and ${\gamma }^{\ast }\gamma \to {\eta }^{\prime }$ at large photon virtualities including full next-to-leading order analysis of perturbative corrections, the charm quark contribution, and taking into account SU(3)-flavor breaking effects and the axial anomaly contributions to the power-suppressed twist-four distribution amplitudes. The numerical analysis of the existing experimental data is performed with these improvements.
