We present the first lattice determination of the two lowest Gegenbauer moments of the leading-twist pion and kaon light-cone distribution amplitudes with full control of all errors. The calculation is carried out on 35 different CLS ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavors of dynamical Wilson-clover fermions. These cover a multitude of pion and kaon mass combinations (including the physical point) and 5 different lattice spacings down to $a=0.039\,$fm. The momentum smearing technique and a new operator basis are employed to reduce statistical fluctuations and to improve the overlap with the ground states. The results are obtained from a combined chiral and continuum limit extrapolation that includes three separate trajectories in the quark mass plane. The present arXiv version (v3) includes an Addendum where we update the results using the recently calculated three-loop matching factors for the conversion from the RI'/SMOM to the $\overline{\text{MS}}$ scheme. We find $a_2^\pi=0.116^{+19}_{-20}$ for the pion, $a_1^K=0.0525^{+31}_{-33}$ and $a_2^K=0.106^{+15}_{-16}$ for the kaon. We also include the previous values, which were obtained with two-loop matching.

  1. Pion Distribution Amplitudes from Functional QCD

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    fRG-based functional QCD plus LaMET yields a saturated pion quasi-DA at Pz=4.5 GeV and a second moment ⟨ξ²⟩π=0.267, smaller than lattice-LaMET and consistent with other nonperturbative methods.

  2. Radiative decays $J/\psi,\,\psi(2S)\rightarrow\gamma\eta^{(\prime)}$ in perturbative QCD with relativistic corrections

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Order-q² relativistic corrections in pQCD roughly double J/ψ→γη(') rates and favor a smaller mixing angle, while ψ(2S) rates overshoot data and may require coherent ηc mixing.

  3. Kaon Distribution Amplitudes from Euclidean Functional QCD

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Kaon DA is single-peaked and asymmetric with moments ⟨ξ⟩_K = 0.020(3) and ⟨ξ²⟩_K = 0.253(12) after 1/P_z² and 1/P_z⁴ extrapolation of the quasi-DA.

  4. Radiative Decays of Vector Mesons with Light-Cone Sum Rules

    hep-ph 2025-11 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-const...

  5. Twist-3 contributions to $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0,\,K_S^0K_S^0$ in $k_T$ factorization

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Twist-3 LCDA contributions in k_T factorization dominate twist-2 for neutral channels, bringing predictions closer to data while neutral-to-charged ratios remain flat unlike observations.
