abstract

We present a detailed survey of electric, magnetic and quadrupole form factors of light and heavy spin-1 vector mesons. It complements our analogous analysis of the electromagnetic form factors of pseudoscalar and scalar mesons reported earlier. Our formalism is based upon the Schwinger-Dyson equations treatment of a vector $\times$ vector contact interaction and the Bethe-Salpeter equation description of relativistic two-body bound states. We compute the form factors, associated moments and charge radii, comparing these quantities to earlier theoretical studies and experimental results if and when possible. We also investigate the quark-mass dependence of the charge radii and find the anticipated hierarchy such that it decreases with increasing dressed quark masses. In addition, our analysis shows that the magnetic moment is independent of the mass of the light and heavy mesons. Our results agree with most measurements reported earlier, finding a negative quadrupole moment, implying the charge distribution is oblate.

  1. Implications of exclusive photon leptoproduction measurements for the proton charge-radius puzzle

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    After excluding or cutting low-|t| CLAS 2018 data, BH-dominated EP measurements yield a proton charge radius smaller than the PDG average and consistent with PRad and muonic hydrogen.

  2. Off-shell modifications of the pion generalized parton distributions and transverse momentum dependent parton distributions

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the NJL model, off-shell pion GPDs and TMDs differ from on-shell ones by 15 to 25 percent and acquire new odd-power form factors from broken crossing symmetry.

  3. Imaging the charge distributions of flavor-symmetric and -asymmetric mesons

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using a maximum-entropy inversion of DSE/BSE form factors, the authors map meson charge profiles and find quark-antiquark distances that shrink with quark mass and grow by 5-15% for spin-aligned mesons.

  4. Electromagnetic structure of charged and neutral strange vector mesons

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Covariant NJL calculations give K*+ charge radius 0.45 fm² and magnetic moment 2.67 μ_N, and K*0 radius −0.04 fm² and moment 0.032 μ_N.
