Kaon Distribution Amplitudes from Euclidean Functional QCD

Abstract:

We study the kaon quasi-distribution amplitude (quasi-DA) and distribution amplitude (DA) within the large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) combined with the first-principles functional QCD. Using quark correlation functions and the kaon Bethe-Salpeter amplitude in the Euclidean space from the 2+1 flavour functional QCD [1] as inputs, we obtain the kaon quasi DA in the large longitudinal momentum region with the contour deformation method [2] in the complex plane of momentum. By performing and order extrapolations of the kaon quasi-DA for the choices of the maximal longitudinal momentum GeV, we obtain a single-peaked and asymmetric kaon DA with the uncertainties arising from the extrapolation interval and ansatz. We find the first and second order moments of the kaon DA, and , respectively.
