New York: Springer, v. 27, n. 2, p. 213-223, 2006.1434-6001http://hdl.handle.net/11449/23438We study the scaling of the S-3(1)-S-1(0) meson mass splitting and the pseudoscalar weak-decay constants with the mass of the meson, as seen in the available experimental data. We use an effective light-front QCD-inspired dynamical model regulated at short distances to describe the valence component of the pseudoscalar mesons. The experimentally known values of the mass splitting, decay constants (from global lattice-QCD averages) and the pion charge form factor up to 4 [GeV/c](2) are reasonably described by the model.213-223engArtigo10.1140/epja/i2005-10246-4WOS:000236585700011Acesso restrito
