PION-TO-PHOTON TRANSITION DISTRIBUTION AMPLITUDES IN THE NON-LOCAL CHIRAL QUARK MODEL

We apply the non-local chiral quark model to study vector and axial pion-to-photon transition amplitudes that are needed as a nonperturbative input to estimate the cross-section of pion annihilation into the real and virtual photon. We use a simple form of the non-locality that allows to perform all calculations in the Minkowski space and guaranties polynomiality of the TDAs. We note only residual dependence on the precise form of the cut-off function, however vector TDA that is symmetric in skewedness parameter in the local quark model is no longer symmetric in the lion-local case. We calculate also the transition form-factors and compare them with existing experimental parametrizations.
