abstract

Several general constraints are suggested to analyze the pionic valence-state wave function. It is found that the present model wave functions used in light-cone formalism of perturbative quantum chromodynamics have failed these requirements to fit the pionic form factor data and the reasonable valence-state structure function which does not exceed the pionic structure function data for $x \rightarrow 1$ simultaneously. Furthermore, it is pointed out that there is a possibility to find model wave functions which can satisfy all of general constraints. Also we show that there are two higher helicity $(\lambda_{1} + \lambda_{2} =\pm1)$ components in the light-cone wave function for the pion as a natural consequence from the Melosh rotation and it is speculated that these components should be incorporated into the perturbative quantum chromodynamics.

Radiative Decays of Vector Mesons with Light-Cone Sum Rules

hep-ph · 2025-11-17 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Light-cone sum rules yield radiative decay widths for ground-state vector mesons that match data where available and exhibit a universal linear dependence on a function A(x) in log coordinates arising from decay-constant ratios and two-body phase space.

Light-front mass operator with dressed quarks

hep-ph · 2026-04-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

An effective dressed light-front mass operator for quarks is constructed from a lattice-inspired propagator and applied to compute pion TMDs, PDFs, and distribution amplitudes.
