We calculate the electromagnetic (EM) form factors of the pseudoscalar mesons in the light-front framework. Specifically, these form factors are extracted from the relevant matrix elements directly, instead of choosing the Breit frame. The results show that the charge radius of the meson is related to both the first and second longitudinal momentum square derivatives of the momentum distribution function. The static properties of the EM form factors and the heavy quark symmetry of the charge radii are checked analytically in the heavy quark limit. In addition, we use the Gaussia-type wavefunction to obtain the numerical results.

  1. Electromagnetic form factors and structure of the $T_{bb}$ tetraquark from lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Lattice QCD on one ensemble yields electromagnetic form factors for T_bb, indicating a compact heavy diquark plus light antidiquark bound state with charge radius smaller than the BB* threshold.

  2. Unified Description of Pseudoscalar Meson Structure from Light to Heavy Quarks

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.
