Spatial and Transverse structure of Heavy B- and D-mesons

Abstract

We have investigated the unpolarized valence quark generalized parton distribution functions (GPDs) and parton distribution functions (PDFs) for heavy spin-$0$, $B$- and $D$-mesons in the light-front quark model (LFQM). PDFs have been extracted from unpolarized $f_1(x,{\text{k}}_{\perp }^2)$ transverse momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs). We have solved the quark-quark correlation function to have an unpolarized $H(x,\zeta ,t)$ GPD. The unpolarized GPDs at zero skewness ($\zeta =0$) lead to describing the electromagnetic form factors (EMFFs) ($F_M(t)$) and gravitational form factors (GFFs)($A_M(t)$) of the mesons.
