The electromagnetic current of bound systems in the light-front is constructed in the Breit-Frame, in the limit of momentum transfer $q^+=(q^0+q^3)$ vanishing. In this limit, the pair creation term survives and it is responsible for the covariance of the current. The pair creation term is computed for the $j^+$ current of a spin one composite particle in the Breit-frame. The rotational symmetry of $j^+$ is violated if the pair term is not considered.

  1. Light-front mass operator with dressed quarks

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    An effective dressed light-front mass operator for quarks is constructed from a lattice-inspired propagator and applied to compute pion TMDs, PDFs, and distribution amplitudes.
