Relativistic corrections to light-cone distribution amplitudes of S-wave $B_c$ mesons and heavy quarkonia

Abstract

In collinear factorization, light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) are key ingredients to calculate the production rate of a hadron in high energy exclusive processes. For a doubly-heavy meson system (such as $B_c,J/\psi ,{\rm Y}$ etc), the LCDAs contain perturbative scales that can be integrated out and then are re-factorized into products of perturbatively calculable distribution parts and non-relativistic QCD matrix elements. In this re-factorization scheme, the LCDAs are known at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant ${\alpha }_s$ and at leading order in the velocity expansion. In this work, we calculate the $\mathcal{O}(v^2)$ corrections to twist-2 LCDAs of S-wave $B_c$ mesons. These results are applicable to heavy quarkonia like ${\eta }_{c,b}$, $J/\psi$ and ${\rm Y}$ by setting $m_b=m_c$. We apply these relativistically corrected LCDAs to study their inverse moments and a few Gegenbauer moments which are important for phenomenological study. We point out that the relativistic corrections are sizable, and comparable with the next-to-leading order radiative corrections. These results for LCDAs are useful in future theoretical analyses of the productions of heavy quarkonia and $B_c$ mesons.
