Abstract
We present measurement of the π0γ*γ, ηγ*γ and η′γ*γ form factors. The π0-form factor is for the first time observed in the space-like region. The transition form factor of the η-meson is determined from its decay modes π+π-π0, π+π-γ and the neutral decay mode γγ. The decay of the η′ is observed in the decay channels ργ, ηπ+π- with η→γγ and in the four charged prong final state stemming from ηπ+π- with the η decaying into π+π-(π0/γ). All form factors agree well with a simple ρ-pole predicted by the vector meson dominance model and also with the QCD inspired Brodsky-Lepage model.
