Instanton effects on the twist-three light-cone distribution amplitudes of pion and light scalar mesons above 1GeV

Understand

By use of single instanton approximation the twist-3 light-cone distribution amplitudes of pion as well as the p-wave mesons, i.e., $f_{0}(1370)$, $K_{0}^{\ast}(1430)$ and $a_{0}(1450)$ are investigated within the framework of QCD moment sum rules with inclusion of instanton effects based on the valence quark model.

• Results show that there is much change on light-cone distribution amplitudes by the isospin- and chirality-dependent instanton contribution compared with the instanton-free ones.
• We find the intanton involved twist-3 LCDAs are non-positive-definite within some range of momentum fraction and there are rapid changes at two ends of momentum fraction.
• To guarantee the convergence of moments by the method in this work a low instanton density should be adopted, for instance $n_{c}=1/2\rm{fm^{-4}}$ is welcomed.
