Using constituent quark model constraints we calculate the gluon and sea-quark content of pions solely in terms of their valence density (fixed by \pi N Drell-Yan data) and the known sea and gluon distributions of the nucleon, using the most recent updated valence-like input parton densities of the nucleon. The resulting small-x dynamical QCD predictions for g^{\pi}(x,Q^2) and \bar{q}^{\pi}(x,Q^2) are unique and parameter free. Simple analytic parametrizations of the resulting parton distributions of the pion are presented in LO and NLO. These results and parametrizations will be important, among other things, for updated formulations of the parton distributions of real and virtual photons.

  1. Pionic gluons from global QCD analysis of experimental and lattice data

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A global fit of pion parton distributions including lattice gluon data reduces uncertainties on the high-x gluon PDF and indicates a gluon enhancement in the pion over the proton.

  2. First simultaneous global QCD analysis of kaon and pion parton distributions with lattice QCD constraints

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First simultaneous pion+kaon PDF fit with lattice constraints finds kaon valence anti-up softer than pion's and strange valence more peaked at high x.

  3. New insights from the flavor dependence of quark transverse momentum distributions in the pion

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First flavor-dependent extraction of unpolarized quark TMDs in the pion, finding a wider transverse momentum tail for valence d quarks than for sea quarks, with large uncertainties.

  4. Automated NLO calculations for asymmetric hadron-hadron collisions in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO

    hep-ph 2025-01 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A public extension of MadGraph5_aMC@NLO now computes automated NLO QCD cross sections for asymmetric hadron-hadron collisions, validated against MCFM and JAM.

  5. Polarization dependence of the $\phi$ meson from finite-temperature QCD sum rules

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Finite-temperature QCD sum rules predict momentum-dependent mass increases and growing transverse-longitudinal splitting for the phi meson, driven primarily by dimension-four spin-dependent thermal condensates.

  6. Pion parton distribution functions and pion-nucleus induced $J/\psi$ production in extended light-front holographic QCD

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Pion PDFs from holographic light-front QCD are consistent with global analyses and produce J/ψ cross sections matching experimental data across energies and targets.

  7. An Analysis on the Parton Distribution Functions of Heavy Mesons

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Light-cone quark model PDFs for kaon and heavy mesons are evolved via NLO DGLAP to predict EIC structure functions and COMPASS Drell-Yan cross sections while showing heavy constituents dominate momentum fractions.
