Twist-3 Distribution Amplitudes of Pion in the Light-Front Quark Model

Abstract

We analyzed two twist-3 distribution amplitudes of pion, i.e. pseudoscalar $\phi^P_{3;\pi}(x)$ and pseudotensor $\phi^\sigma_{3;\pi}(x)$, within the LFQM. Our LFQM descriptions both for twist-3 $\phi^P_{3;\pi}$ and $\phi^\sigma_{3;\pi}$ not only satisfy the fundamental constraint required from the isospin symmetry, but also reproduce exactly the asymptotic forms anticipated from QCD's conformal limit.
