abstract

A symmetry-preserving approach to the two valence-body continuum bound-state problem is used to calculate the elastic electromagnetic form factors of the $\rho$-meson and subsequently to study the evolution of vector-meson form factors with current-quark mass. To facilitate a range of additional comparisons, $K^\ast$ form factors are also computed. The analysis reveals that: vector mesons are larger than pseudoscalar mesons; composite vector mesons are non-spherical, with magnetic and quadrupole moments that deviate $\sim 30$\% from point-particle values; in many ways, vector-meson properties are as much influenced by emergent mass as those of pseudoscalars; and vector meson electric form factors possess a zero at spacelike momentum transfer. Qualitative similarities between the electric form factors of the $\rho$ and the proton, $G_E^p$, are used to argue that the character of emergent mass in the Standard Model can force a zero in $G_E^p$. Morover, the existence of a zero in vector meson electric form factors entails that a single-pole vector meson dominance model can only be of limited use in estimating properties of off-shell vector mesons, providing poor guidance for systems in which the Higgs-mechanism of mass generation is dominant.

  1. Vector-Meson Spin Alignment from Anisotropic Quark or Hadron Coalescence

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Anisotropic quark or hadron coalescence in heavy-ion collisions generates vector-meson spin alignment whose sign distinguishes bare-vector from spin-orbit-coupled production vertices.

  2. Distribution amplitudes of heavy-light pseudo-scalar and vector mesons from Dyson-Schwinger equations framework

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First DSE predictions for B*, B*_s, and B*_c distribution amplitudes show peaks near the Euclidean constituent quark mass ratio and a universal spin ordering.

  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. Basis light-front quantization approach to deuteron

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using basis light-front quantization with a six-quark plus one-gluon Fock space, the authors report that hidden color states dominate the deuteron wave function at 55.5% probability.

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter calculation predicts g_D*Dpi = 16.22 and g_B*Bpi = 40.09, with static couplings consistent with lattice results.

  6. $\phi$-meson spectroscopy and diffractive production using two Schr\"odinger like equations on the light-front

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A two-equation light-front model reproduces the phi meson mass spectrum and HERA diffractive production cross sections, but underpredicts its decay constant.
