Rho meson distribution amplitudes from QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates

Understand

The leading-twist distribution amplitude for the longitudinal rho-meson was studied using QCD Sum Rules with nonlocal condensates and a spectral density which includes next-to-leading order radiative corrections.

• The obtained profile is compared with results from standard QCD sum rules, lattice QCD, holographic QCD, a light-front quark model, and the instanton liquid model.
• Preliminary estimates for the first two moments of the transverse $\rho$-meson distribute amplitude are also given.
