On Transverse-Momentum Dependent Light-Cone Wave Functions of Light Mesons

چکیده
Transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) light-cone wave functions of a light meson are important ingredients in the TMD QCD factorization of exclusive processes. This factorization allows one conveniently resum Sudakov logarithms appearing in collinear factorization. The TMD light-cone wave functions are not simply related to the standard light-cone wave functions in collinear factorization by integrating them over the transverse momentum. We explore relations between TMD light-cone wave functions and those in the collinear factorization. Two factorized relations can be found. One is helpful for constructing models for TMD light-cone wave functions, and the other can be used for resummation. These relations will be useful to establish a link between two types of factorization.

Transverse Momentum Dependent Light-Cone Wave Function of B-Meson and Relation to the Momentum Integrated One
A direct generalization of the transverse momentum integrated(TMI) light-cone wave function to define a transverse momentum dependent(TMD) light-cone wave function will cause light-cone singularities and they spoil TMD factorization. We motivate a definition in which the light-cone singularities are regularized with non-light like Wilson lines. The defined TMD light-cone wave function has some ...
متن کاملLarge momentum transfer electroproduction of mesons
Assuming the proton’s light-cone wave function to be dominated by small parton virtualities and small intrinsic transverse momenta, we show that the electroproduction amplitudes at large momentum transfer factorize into parton-level subprocess amplitudes and form factors representing 1/xmoments of skewed parton distributions. On the basis of a wave function overlap model for the form factors we...

We discuss the scale dependence of a skewed parton distribution of the pion obtained from a generalized light-cone wave function overlap formula. Using a simple ansatz for the transverse momentum dependence of the light-cone wave function and restricting ourselves to the case of a zero skewedness parameter the skewed parton distribution can be expressed through an ordinary parton distribution m...

The high momentum components generated in the wave function of pseudoscalar mesons by the one-gluon-exchange interaction are investigated within a relativistic constituent quark model. Adopting the light-cone formalism, the sensitivity of the weak decay constant and the charge form factor to hard constituent quarks is illustrated. Phys. Lett. B, in press. The investigation of the electroweak pr...
متن کاملTransverse Momentum Dependent Factorization for Radiative Leptonic Decay of B-Meson
With a consistent definition of transverse-momentum-dependent(TMD) light-cone wave function of B-meson, we show that the amplitude of the radiative leptonic B-Decay can be factorized at one-loop level as a convolution with the wave function and a perturbative coefficient function, combined with a soft factor. In this TMD factorization, the transverse momenta of partons in the B-meson are taken ...
