Pion Distribution Amplitude from Lattice QCD
read the original abstract
We present the first lattice-QCD calculation of the pion distribution amplitude using the large- momentum effective field theory (LaMET) approach, which allows us to extract lightcone parton observables from a Euclidean lattice. The mass corrections needed to extract the pion distribution amplitude from this approach are calculated to all orders in $m^2_{\pi} /P_z^2$. We also implement the Wilson- line renormalization which is crucial to remove the power divergences in this approach, and find that it reduces the oscillation at the end points of the distribution amplitude. Our exploratory result at 310-MeV pion mass favors a single-hump form broader than the asymptotic form of the pion distribution amplitude.

Unified Description of Pseudoscalar Meson Structure from Light to Heavy Quarks
An algebraic light-front model supplies unified leading-twist PDAs, LFWFs, GPDs, PDFs, EFFs, charge radii and IPS-GPDs for light, heavy-light and heavy-heavy pseudoscalar mesons from the same Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes.

Valence quark distribution of the pion inside a medium with finite baryon density: A Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model approach
The authors use the two-flavor NJL model to obtain medium-modified constituent quark masses and then compute the in-medium pion electromagnetic form factor, distribution amplitude, and parton distribution function via...
