Pion structure in Holographic QCD
arXiv:2606.05583 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2026.140866
Abstract
We employ a holographic model with a modified background that incorporates effective descriptions of key QCD features, including linear confinement and gluon condensation, to study the pion's internal structure, encompassing its mass spectrum as well as electromagnetic and gravitational form factors. This model is capable of simultaneously describing these diverse observables and reaches reasonable agreement with both experimental measurements and lattice QCD results. Our findings indicate that the model captures essential aspects of the pion. The description of multiple structure observables supports its potential as a useful tool for further investigations of pion properties.
