Abstract
We analyze the radiative pion decay π+→e+νeγ within nonlocal chiral quark models that include wave function renormalization. In this framework we calculate the vector and axial-vector form factors FV and FA at q2=0 - where q2 is the e+νe squared invariant mass - and the slope a of FV(q2) at q2→0. The calculations are carried out considering different nonlocal form factors, in particular those taken from lattice QCD evaluations, showing a reasonable agreement with the corresponding experimental data. The comparison of our results with those obtained in the (local) NJL model and the relation of FV and a with the form factor in π0→γ⁎γ decays are discussed.
