Pion light-cone distribution amplitude from the pion electromagnetic form factor

We suggest to probe the pion light-cone distribution amplitude, applying a dispersion relation for the pion electromagnetic form factor. Instead of the standard dispersion relation, we use the equation between the spacelike form factor F π ðQ 2 Þ and the integrated modulus of the timelike form factor. For F π ðQ 2 Þ, the QCD light-cone sum rule with a dominant twist-2 term is used. Adopting for the pion twist-2 distribution amplitude a certain combination of the first few Gegenbauer polynomials, it is possible to fit their coefficients a 2;4;6;::. (Gegenbauer moments) from this equation, employing the measured pion timelike form factor. For the exploratory fit we use the data of the BABAR collaboration. The results definitely exclude the asymptotic twist-2 distribution amplitude. Also the model with a single a 2 ≠ 0 is disfavored by the fit. Considering the models with a n>2 ≠ 0, we find that the fitted values of the second and fourth Gegenbauer moments cover the intervals a 2 ð1 GeVÞ ¼ ð0.22-0.33Þ, a 4 ð1 GeVÞ ¼ ð0.12-0.25Þ. The higher moments starting from a 8 are consistent with zero, albeit with large uncertainties. The spacelike pion form factor obtained in two different ways, from the dispersion relation and from the light-cone sum rule, agrees, within uncertainties, with the measurement by the Jefferson Lab F π collaboration.

“…Although significant achievements in the lattice QCD implementations of these approaches have been made in recent years [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48], a proper understanding and control-ling various sources of systematics in these calculations still require further exploration and theoretical development. The status of current lattice QCD calculations of the x-dependent hadronic structure can be found in the following review articles [49][50][51].…”

Pion valence structure from Ioffe-time parton pseudodistribution functions

We present a calculation of the pion valence quark distribution extracted using the formalism of reduced Ioffe time pseudo-distributions or more commonly known as pseudo-PDFs. Our calculation is carried out on two different 2+1 flavor QCD ensembles using the isotropic-clover fermion action, with lattice dimensions 24 3 × 64 and 32 3 × 96 at the lattice spacing of a = 0.127 fm, and with the quark mass equivalent to a pion mass of mπ 415 MeV. We incorporate several combinations of smeared-point and smeared-smeared pion source-sink interpolation fields in obtaining the lattice QCD matrix elements using the summation method. After one-loop perturbative matching and combining the pseudo-distributions from these two ensembles, we extract the pion valence quark distribution using a phenomenological functional form motivated by the global fits of parton distribution functions. We also calculate the lowest four moments of the pion quark distribution through the "OPE without OPE". We present a qualitative comparison between our lattice QCD extraction of the pion valence quark distribution with that obtained from global fits and previous lattice QCD calculations.arXiv:1909.08517v1 [hep-lat]

“…A calculation on a Euclidean lattice is therefore not possible. Previously, the Mellin moments of PDFs and Distribution Amplitudes (DA) of baryons and mesons have been calculated with Lattice QCD [2][3][4][5][6][7], but the reduced rotational symmetry of the lattice only allowed access to the lowest few moments. Unfortunately more moments than are available are required for an accurate reconstruction of the x dependence of the nucleon PDF [8].…”

In this paper, we present a detailed study of the unpolarized nucleon parton distribution function (PDF) employing the approach of parton pseudo-distribution functions. We perform a systematic analysis using three lattice ensembles at two volumes, with lattice spacings a = 0.127 fm and a = 0.094 fm, for a pion mass of roughly 400 MeV. With two lattice spacings and two volumes, both continuum limit and infinite volume extrapolation systematic errors of the PDF are estimated. In addition to the x dependence of the PDF, we compute their first two moments and compare them with the pertinent phenomenological determinations.
