A Study of Light Mesons on the Transverse Lattice

Abstract

We present results from a study of light meson spectra and structure obtained within the framework of light-front QCD formulated on a transverse lattice. We discuss how imposing Lorentz covariance conditions on meson dispersion relations allows determination of parameters in the transverse lattice Hamiltonian. The pion distribution amplitude obtained in this framework is rather close to its asymptotic shape.
