Abstract

Abstract

A combined analysis of the space- and time-like experimental data for the η transition form factor is performed in a model-independent way by means of rational approximants. The recent measurement of the e⁺e^- invariant mass spectrum of the η→e⁺e^--γ decay provided by the A2 Collaboration allowed us to extract the most precise and up-to-date slope and curvature parameters of the form factor. The impact of this new analysis on the ηη′ mixing parameters and the VPγ couplings is also discussed.
