RESUMEN
We present a state-of-the-art lattice QCD calculation of the pion and kaon light-cone distribution amplitudes (DAs) using large-momentum effective theory. The calculation is done at three lattice spacings a≈{0.06,0.09,0.12} fm and physical pion and kaon masses, with the meson momenta P_{z}={1.29,1.72,2.15} GeV. The result is nonperturbatively renormalized in a recently proposed hybrid scheme with self-renormalization, and extrapolated reliably to the continuum as well as the infinite momentum limit. We find a significant deviation of the pion and kaon DAs from the asymptotic form, and a large SU(3) flavor breaking effect in the kaon DA.
RESUMEN
We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the distribution amplitudes of longitudinally and transversely polarized vector mesons K^{*} and Ï using large momentum effective theory. We use the clover fermion action on three ensembles with 2+1+1 flavors of highly improved staggered quarks action, generated by the MIMD Lattice Computation Collaboration, at physical pion mass and {0.06,0.09,0.12} fm lattice spacings and choose three different hadron momenta P_{z}={1.29,1.72,2.15} GeV. The resulting lattice matrix elements are nonperturbatively renormalized in a recently proposed hybrid scheme. An extrapolation to the continuum and infinite momentum limit is carried out. We find that, while the longitudinal distribution amplitudes tend to be close to the asymptotic form, the transverse ones deviate rather significantly from the asymptotic form. Our final results provide crucial ab initio theory inputs for analyzing pertinent exclusive processes.
