Perturbation theory predicts that a massless fermion cannot possess a measurable magnetic moment. We explain, however, that the nonperturbative phenomenon of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking generates a momentum-dependent anomalous chromomagnetic moment for dressed light quarks, which is large at infrared momenta, and demonstrate that consequently these same quarks also possess an anomalous electromagnetic moment with similar magnitude and opposite sign.

Higgs modulation of emergent mass as revealed in kaon and pion parton distributions

Z-F Cui, M. Ding, F. Gao, K. Raya, D. Binosi, L. Chang, C. D. Roberts, J. Rodriguez-Quintero, S. M. Schmidt

Summary: The study discusses the distribution functions of K mesons, compares them with similar distributions of π mesons, and reveals how their light-front momentum is shared. The research provides the first parameter-free predictions for K distribution functions, emphasizing the need for new experiments sensitive to all K and π DFs.

Measures of pion and kaon structure from generalised parton distributions

J-L Zhang, K. Raya, L. Chang, Z-F Cui, J. M. Morgado, C. D. Roberts, J. Rodriguez-Quintero

Summary: The structural properties of π and K mesons provide insights into mass generation in the Standard Model and the modulation by the Higgs boson. Novel effects in impact parameter space and mass and pressure profiles are revealed through generalised parton distributions constructed from light-front wave functions and one-dimensional valence distribution functions. Notably, K pressure profiles are spatially more compact than π profiles, reaching near-core pressures similar to those in neutron stars.

Revealing the structure of light pseudoscalar mesons at the electron-ion collider

Tadepalli, R. L. Trotta

Summary: The emergence of the bulk of the Universe's visible mass and the mechanisms behind the structure of hadrons are profound questions that are being investigated through the study of pseudoscalar mesons like the pion and kaon. Different approaches such as continuum QCD phenomenology, lattice-regularised QCD, and global analysis of parton distributions are being utilized to explore the partonic structure and mass mechanisms of these mesons. Experimental measurements, including those from the anticipated electron-ion collider, will provide valuable insights into the structures of pions and kaons, aiding in a better understanding of their properties and roles in QCD.

Insights into the emergence of mass from studies of pion and kaon structure

Craig D. Roberts, David G. Richards, Tanja Horn, Lei Chang

Summary: In the standard model of particle physics, there are two mass generating mechanisms: one related to the Higgs boson which is well understood, and the other embedded in quantum chromodynamics responsible for the emergence of hadronic mass, which remains puzzling. Recent progress has been made using theoretical tools like continuum Schwinger function methods and lattice-regularised QCD to understand these mechanisms better and shed light on Nature's Nambu-Goldstone modes. New experimental facilities are expected to contribute greatly in resolving the puzzles of emergent hadronic mass.

Revealing pion and kaon structure via generalised parton distributions

K. Raya, Z. -f. Cui, L. Chang, J. M. Morgado, C. D. Roberts, J. Rodriguez-Quintero

Summary: Observable measures provide clear windows into emergent hadron mass and its modulations by Higgs boson interactions, which can be accessed through generalised parton distributions (GPDs). Analysis reveals various properties and predictions, such as stiffness differences between gravitational and electromagnetic form factors, tightness of K pressure profiles compared to pi profiles, and similar fraction of meson mass-squared carried by glue and sea combined as with the valence degrees-of-freedom.

Concerning pion parton distributions

Z. -F. Cui, M. Ding, J. M. Morgado, K. Raya, D. Binosi, L. Chang, J. Papavassiliou, C. D. Roberts, J. Rodriguez-Quintero, S. M. Schmidt

Summary: The analysis of the pion valence-quark distribution function predicts that its behavior at x approximately equal to 1 follows the model of (1 - x)(β(σ)), taking into account the pion wave function prescribed by QCD. However, the empirical status of this behavior remains uncertain due to disagreements in fitting existing data. Further experimental data is needed to reach a final conclusion.

Electromagnetic form factors of neutron and neutral hyperons in the oscillating point of view

An-Xin Dai, Zhong-Yi Li, Lei Chang, Ju-Jun Xie

Summary: Based on recent measurements by the BESIII collaboration, the effective form factors of the neutron in the time-like region were determined and found to be smaller than those of the proton, showing periodic behavior. A comparative analysis of Lambda, Sigma(0), and Xi(0) hyperons revealed an interesting oscillating behavior in their effective form factors with zero charge, which needs to be confirmed by future experiments. Both theoretical and experimental investigations of this phenomenon can provide insights into the reaction mechanisms of electron-positron annihilation.

Proton and pion distribution functions in counterpoint

Ya Lu, Lei Chang, Khepani Raya, Craig D. Roberts, Jose Rodriguez-Quintero

Summary: This study uses consistent determination of valence distribution functions (DFs) for proton and pion at the same hadron scale, and presents a unified prediction for all DFs including valence, glue, and four-flavour-separated sea. The results show that while identifiable parton classes carry the same hadron light-front momentum fractions for both proton and pion at any scale, the behavior of DFs is strongly dependent on the hadron.

Glimpse into the pion gravitational form factor

Zanbin Xing, Minghui Ding, Lei Chang

Summary: We present a novel approach to calculate the gravitational form factor of pion using the ladder approximation of the Bethe-Salpeter equation with contact interactions. A key aspect of this approach is the symmetry-preserving treatment of the dressed pi pi amplitude, which reveals the contributions from intrinsic quarks and bound states, the latter being essential for the D-term of pion in the soft-pion limit. The method we propose in this study can be applied to numerous processes of significance in physics.

Symmetry preserving contact interaction treatment of the kaon

Zanbin Xing, Lei Chang

Summary: This work proposes a symmetry preserving regularization procedure for the contact interaction model. This regularization follows consistency conditions to maintain gauge symmetry. Proofs for preserving the Ward-Takahashi identities are provided, and loop integrals are systematically computed. Application examples of kaon electromagnetic form factor and Kl3 transition form factor demonstrate self-consistent results. The proposed regularization properly handles divergences, allowing more focus on physical discussions.

Emergence of pion parton distributions

Z-F Cui, M. Ding, J. M. Morgado, K. Raya, D. Binosi, L. Chang, F. De Soto, C. D. Roberts, J. Rodriguez-Quintero, S. M. Schmidt

Summary: Assuming the existence of an effective charge to define the evolution scheme for parton distribution functions (DFs), this study derives strict lower and upper bounds on all Mellin moments of the valence-quark DFs of pionlike systems. By using numerical simulations of lattice-regularized quantum chromodynamics (QCD) consistent with these bounds, parameter-free predictions for pion valence, glue, and sea DFs are obtained. The study shows that the form of the valence-quark DF is consistent with predictions derived from the QCD-prescribed behavior of the pion wave function.

Exposing the effect of the p-wave component in the pion triplet under a strong magnetic field

Zanbin Xing, Jingyi Chao, Lei Chang, Yu-xin Liu

Summary: This paper studies the properties of a pseudoscalar meson triplet in a strongly magnetized medium using the Dyson-Schwinger equation approach for a contact interaction. A new coupling formulation is proposed to control the strength of the p-wave component without modifying the quark propagator. The results show that the strong magnetic field dramatically affects the inner structure of mesons.
