Abstract

We calculate the vector and axial-vector form factors of decays into P-wave axial-vector mesons in the light-cone sum rule approach. For the sum rule results, we have included corrections of order , where is the mass of the axial-vector meson . The results are relevant to the light-cone distribution amplitudes of the axial-vector mesons. It is important to note that, owing to the -parity, the chiral-even two-parton light-cone distribution amplitudes of the () mesons are symmetric (antisymmetric) under the exchange of quark and anti-quark momentum fractions in the SU(3) limit. For chiral-odd light-cone distribution amplitudes, it is the other way around. The predictions for decay rates of are also presented.
