Electromagnetic Structure of the Meson in the Light-Front Quark Model

arXiv:hep-ph/0402114 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.70.053015

Abstract

We investigate the elastic form factors of the rho meson in the light-front quark model(LFQM). With the phenomenologically accessible meson vertices including the one obtained by the Melosh transformation frequently used in the LFQM, we find that only the helicity matrix element of the plus current receives the zero-mode contribution. We quantify the zero-mode contribution in the helicity amplitude using the angular condition of spin-1 system. After taking care of the zero-mode issue, we obtain the magnetic() and quadrupole() moments of the rho meson as and , respectively, in the LFQM consistent with the Melosh transformation and compare our results with other available theoretical predictions.
