Pion and Kaon Valence-quark Parton Quasidistributions
Abstract
Algebraic Ansatze for the Poincare-covariant Bethe-Salpeter wave functions of the pion and kaon arc used to calculate their light-front wave functions, parton distribution amplitudes, parton quasidistribution amplitudes, valence parton distribution functions, and parton quasidistribution functions (PqDFs). The light-front wave functions arc broad, concave functions, and the scale of flavor-symmetry violation in the kaon is roughly 15%, being set by the ratio of emergent masses in the s- and u-quark sectors. Parton quasidistribution amplitudes computed with longitudinal momentum Pz = 1.75 GeV provide a semiquantitatively accurate representation of the objective parton distribution amplitude, but even with Pz = 3 GeV, they cannot provide information about this amplitude's end point behavior. On the valence-quark domain, similar outcomes characterize PqDFs. Lastly, in this connection, however, the ratio of kaon-to-pion u-quark PqDFs is found to provide a good approximation to the true parton distribution function ratio on 0.4 ≲ x ≲ 0.8, suggesting that with existing resources computations of ratios of parton quasidistributions can yield results that support empirical comparison.
