On Transverse-Momentum Dependent Light-Cone Wave Functions of Light Mesons

Abstract

Transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) light-cone wave functions of a light meson are important ingredients in the TMD QCD factorization of exclusive processes. This factorization allows one conveniently resum Sudakov logarithms appearing in collinear factorization. The TMD light-cone wave functions are not simply related to the standard light-cone wave functions in collinear factorization by integrating them over the transverse momentum. We explore relations between TMD light-cone wave functions and those in the collinear factorization. Two factorized relations can be found. One is helpful for constructing models for TMD light-cone wave functions, and the other can be used for resummation. These relations will be useful to establish a link between two types of factorization.
