Description

We discuss chiral and momentum extrapolation of the transition form factor of $\pi^0$ to two-photon using one-loop chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). Fitting the lattice data with the ChPT formula obtained for off-shell photons, we estimate low-energy constants that describe mass and momentum dependence of the $\pi^0$ to two-photon decay, which can be used to estimate the physical $\pi^0 -> \gamma \gamma$ amplitude.
