Light-front holographic radiative transition form factors for light mesons

Abstract: We predict the $\mathcal{V} \to \mathcal{P} \gamma$ decay widths and the $\mathcal{V} \to \mathcal{P} \gamma^{*}$ transition form factors, where $\mathcal{V}=(\rho, \omega, K^*, \phi)$ and $\mathcal{P}= (\pi,K, \eta,\eta^\prime)$, using spin-improved holographic light-front wavefunctions for the mesons. We find excellent agreement with the available data for both the decay widths and the timelike transition form factors extracted from the leptonic conversion decays $\mathcal{V} \to \mathcal{P} l^+ l^-$.
