Empirical Determination of the Pion Mass Distribution
-
Abstract
Existing pion+nucleus Drell-Yan and electron+pion scattering data are used to develop ensembles of model-independent representations of the pion generalized parton distribution (GPD). Therewith, one arrives at a data-driven prediction for the pion mass distribution form factor,θπ2 . Compared with the pion elastic electromagnetic form factor,θπ2 is harder: the ratio of the radii derived from these two form factors isrθ2π/rπ=0.79(3) . Our data-driven predictions for the pion GPD, related form factors and distributions should serve as valuable constraints on theories of pion structure. -
Science is operating, building, and planning high-luminosity, high-energy facilities in order to reveal the source of the mass of visible material in the Universe.[1–10] That matter is chiefly built from the nuclei that can be found on Earth, which are themselves composed of neutrons and protons (nucleons) bound together by the exchange of π-mesons (pions)[11] – and other contributors at shorter ranges. Partly, therefore, some of the mass is generated by Higgs boson couplings to matter fields in the Standard Model (SM).[12–15]
However, insofar as nucleons and pions are concerned, the Higgs-generated mass component is only a small part. Regarding the nucleon – a bound state with mass mN ≈ 940 MeV, yet built from three light valence quarks, ∑mq ≈ 9 MeV, Higgs boson couplings are directly responsible for ≲ 1% of its mass: the remainder has its origin in some other mechanism. The story for the pions, a triplet of three electric charge states, whose positive member is a bound state of a valence u quark and a valence
ˉd quark, is very subtle because pions are the SM’s (would-be) Nambu-Goldstone bosons whose emergence can be traced to exactly the same source as 99% of the nucleon mass, whatever that may be. This second source is called emergent hadron mass (EHM).[16–26]Modern theory indicates[16–26] that EHM is a feature of SM strong interactions, i.e., quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Further, that owing to its Nambu-Goldstone boson character, expressed in QCD symmetry identities,[27–29] pion properties provide the clearest window onto EHM.[16–18,20,21] It is thus imperative that theory provide constraints on the distribution of mass within the pion in advance of new facility operation, so forthcoming experiments can truly test the EHM paradigm, avoiding a common pattern of models being developed to describe novel data after they have been collected. To this end, herein, we use existing data on pion valence quark distribution functions (DFs)[30–33] and the pion elastic electromagnetic form factor[34–40] to develop data-based predictions for the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the pion and, therefrom, the pion mass distribution.
Pion Valence-Quark Distribution Function and the Hadron Scale. Consider the pion valence u quark DF,
uπ(x;ζ) , which is the probability density for finding a valence u quark with light-front momentum fraction x of the pion’s total momentum when the pion is probed at energy scale ζ.[41] In theG -parity symmetry limit, which is an accurate reflection of Nature,ˉdπ(x;ζ)=uπ(x;ζ) .Extant data relevant to extraction of
uπ(x;ζ) has been obtained using the Drell-Yan process[42,43]π + A → ℓ+ℓ− + X, where ℓ is a lepton, A is a nuclear target, and X denotes the debris produced by the deeply inelastic reaction.[30–33] New data will be obtained using Drell-Yan[1,2] and other processes.[3–7,21]The most malleable set of Drell-Yan data[33] was collected at a large resolving scale, viz. ζ5 = 5.2 GeV. In this case, QCD perturbation theory can be employed in the analysis and a reasonable interpretative basis is provided by the quark and gluon parton degrees-of-freedom used to define the QCD Lagrangian density.
On the other hand, development of a theory prediction foruπ(x;ζ) is best begun at the hadron scale,ζℋ ≪ζ 5, whereat dressed-quark and dressed-antiquark quasiparticle degrees-of-freedom can be used to deliver symmetry-preserving, parameter-free predictions for pion properties.[44 –48 ] Of particular importance and utility is the fact that the bound-state’s quasiparticle degrees-of-freedom carry all measurable properties of the hadron at this scale, including the light-front momentum; hence:[46 ,47 ]uπ(x;ζℋ)=uπ(1−x;ζℋ). (1) In QCD perturbation theory, the evolution of
uπ(x;ζ) with changing scale, ζ, is described by the DGLAP equations.[49–52] A nonperturbative extension is explained in Refs. [53–55]. It is based on the following proposition:Such charges are discussed elsewhere.[56–58] They need not be process-independent (PI); hence, not unique. Nevertheless, an efficacious PI charge is not excluded; and that discussed in Refs. [48,53,59] has proved suitable. Connections with experiment and other nonperturbative extensions of QCD’s running coupling are given in Refs. [60–62].
Experiment and theory can now be joined atζ =ζℋ because Proposition 1 and Eq. (1 ) entail the following evolution equation:[59 ] ∀ζ ≥ζℋ ,〈xn〉ζuπ=〈xn〉ζℋuπ(〈2x〉ζuπ)γn0/γ10, (2) 〈xn〉ζuπ:=〈xnuπ(x;ζ)〉=∫10dxxnuπ(x;ζ) (3) nf = 4 flavors of active quarks,γn0=−43(3+2(n+1)(n+2)−4n+1∑j=11j). (4) 1 ),〈2x〉ζℋuπ=1 .Using Eq. (2), any set of valence-quark DF Mellin moments at a scale ζ can be converted into an equivalent set of hadron-scale moments; hence, one has a direct mapping between the pion valence-quark DF at any two scales. Crucially, the leading moment,
〈2x〉ζuπ , is the kernel of the mapping; so, although existence of α1ℓ(k2) is essential, its pointwise form is largely immaterial.If one analyzes the data in Ref. [33] using methods that ensure consistency with QCD endpoint (x ≃ 0, 1) constraints, then realistic connections with SM properties can be drawn.[54,55] Two such studies are available: Ref. [63] whose result we label
uπA(x;ζ5) ; and the Mellin–Fourier analysis in Ref. [64] reappraised in Ref. [54] and labelleduπB(x;ζ5) herein.Following Steps 1 and 2, one arrives at the ζ = ζℋ representation ensembles of E615 data drawn in Fig. 1. Evidently, the data-driven results are a fair match with modern theory predictions, albeit those based on the analysis in Ref. [63] deliver better agreement.

Comparison curves: dashed purple – pion valence-quark DF calculated using continuum Schwinger function methods (CSMs);[48] grey band – ensemble of valence-quark DFs developed in Ref. [55] from results obtained using lattice Schwinger function methods.[65–67]Reconstructing the GPD. Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) are discussed in Refs.[68–70]. They provide an extension of one-dimensional (1D – light-front longitudinal) DFs into 3D images of hadrons because they also express information about the distribution of partons in the plane perpendicular to the bound-state’s total momentum, i.e., within the light front. Data that may be interpreted in terms of GPDs can be obtained via deeply virtual Compton scattering on a target hadron, T, viz. γ*(q) T(p) → γ*(q′)T(p′), so long as at least one of the photons [γ*(q), γ*(q′)] possesses large virtuality, and in the analogous process of deeply virtual meson production: γ*(q) T(p) → M(q′)T(p′), where M is a meson. Moreover, GPDs connect DFs with hadron form factors because any DF may be recovered as a forward limit (p′ = p) of the relevant GPD and any elastic form factor can be expressed via a GPD-based sum rule.
Exploiting this last feature, the valence-quark DFs obtained above can be used to develop a 3D image of the pion by working with the light-front wave function (LFWF) overlap representation of GPDs. Capitalizing on the property of LFWF factorization, which is an excellent approximation for the pion,[59 ,71 ,72 ] one may write the |x |≥|ξ | pion GPD as follows:Huπ(x,ξ,−Δ2;ζH)=θ(x−)√uπ(x−;ζH)uπ(x+;ζH)Φπ(z2;ζH), (9) P = (p +p ′)/2;Δ =p ′−p ;ξ = − [n ⋅Δ ] / [2n ⋅P ], withn a light-like four-vector,n 2 = 0;x ± = (x ±ξ )/(1 ±ξ ); and, withmπ being the pion mass,z2=Δ2⊥(1−x)2/(1−ξ2)2, (10a) Δ2⊥=Δ2(1−ξ2)+4ξ2m2π. (10b) In principle, the shape ofΦπ (z ;ζH ) is determined by the pion LFWF – see Ref. [59 ][Eq. (18b)]. However, in our data-driven approach, we exploit the following GPD sum rule, which relates the zeroth moment of the GPD to the pion elastic electromagnetic form factor:Fπ(Δ2)≡Fuπ(Δ2)=∫1−1dxHuπ(x,0,−Δ2;ζH) (11a) =∫10dxuπ(x;ζH)Φπ(Δ2[1−x]2;ζH), (11b) 10 ). Charge and baryon number conservation entailΦπ (0;ζH ) ≡ 1.At this point, one can use available precision data on the pion elastic form factor[36–40] and a recent objective determination of the pion charge radius[73] to complete a reconstruction of
Huπ(x,0,−Δ2;ζH) . To achieve this, we proceed as follows.In concert with this rπ distribution, the values of (β,γ) are now varied at random about the best-fit values obtained in Step 3; and one selects a data-driven GPD, H, using Eqs. (9)–(12), with probability
PH=PH|uPu , where both the conditional probability of the GPD given a particular DF,PH|u , and that of the DF,Pu , are given by Eq. (7) evaluated with their respective χ2 functions, defined from DF and elastic form factor data.This final step is repeated for every member of each DF ensemble. We thereby arrive at data-driven GPDs specified by Eqs. (8), (9), (12) and the parameters in Table 1. A check on the Fπ(Δ2) part of the procedure is provided by Fig. 2, which displays the pion electromagnetic form factor obtained via Eqs. (11) using these pion GPD ensembles. Once again, the data-driven results are in accord with modern theory predictions.

(Each DF ensemble has K ≳ 100 elements: A derived from Ref. [63] and B from Ref. [54].

Comparison curves: dashed purple – Fπ(Δ2) calculated using CSMs;[21,45] grey band – Fπ(Δ2) ensemble obtained with valence-quark DFs developed in Ref. [55] from results obtained using lattice Schwinger function methods.[65–67] The form factor data are taken from Refs.[36–40].Pion Generalized Parton Distribution. Pion GPDs, reconstructed, as described above, from available analyses of relevant Drell-Yan and electron+pion scattering data, are drawn in Fig. 3. Although the different ensembles are only marginally compatible with each other, owing to differences between the analyses in Refs. [63,64] they both agree with the lQCD based ensembles, within mutual uncertainties, because the lQCD-constrained ensemble possesses a large uncertainty. The CSM prediction favors the
uπA(x;ζℋ) ensemble. In all cases, one sees that the support of the valence-quark GPD becomes increasingly concentrated in the neighborhood x ≃ 1 with increasing Δ2. Namely, greater probe momentum focuses attention on the domain in which one valence-quark carries a large fraction of the pion’s light-front momentum.Fig. Fig. 3. Pion GPDs. (a) Working with DFsuπA(x;ζℋ) [63] – blue band. (b) Using DFsuπB(x;ζℋ) [54] – orange band. Comparison curves, both panels: CSM prediction in Refs. [59,72] – dashed purple curve; GPD ensemble generated from valence-quark DFs developed in Ref. [55] obtained from results computed using lattice Schwinger function methods[65–67] – grey band.Pion Mass Distribution. The first Mellin moment of theξ = 0 GPD is the mass distribution form factor:θπ2(Δ2)=∫1−1dx2xHuπ(x,0,−Δ2;ζℋ), (13) 77 ] Noticeably,θπ2(Δ2) isζ -independent but the manner by which its strength is shared amongst different parton species does evolve withζ . Herein we exploit the fact that, atζ =ζℋ ,θπ2(Δ2) is completely determined by the contribution from dressed valence degrees-of-freedom.The pion mass distributions obtained from the data-driven GPDs are depicted in Fig. 4. Plainly, the mass distribution form factor is harder than the elastic electromagnetic form factor, i.e., the distribution of mass in the pion is more compact than the distribution of electric charge. Since every curve herein is built solely from available data, then this is an empirical fact. It is also readily understood theoretically, as we now explain.

Comparison curves, both panels: CSM prediction forθπ2(Δ2) in Refs. [59,72] – solid purple; GPD ensemble generated from valence-quark DFs developed in Ref. [55] using lQCD results[65–67] – grey band. In addition, each panel displays the CSM prediction for Fπ(Δ2)[21,45] – dashed purple curve. The data are those for Fπ(Δ2) from Refs. [36–40] included so as to highlight the precision required to distinguish the mass and electromagnetic form factors.Beginning with Eqs. (11 ) and (13 ), consider the difference between mass and charge distributions,θπ2(Δ2)−Fπ(Δ2)=∫10dˉx(1−2ˉx)uπ(ˉx;ζℋ)Φπ(Δ2ˉx2;ζH), (14) ˉx=1−x and we have used Eq. (1 ) to simplify the right-hand side (rhs). ForΔ 2 = 0, the rhs is zero as a consequence of charge and baryon-number conservation. Suppose now thatΦπ (z ;ζH ) is a non-negative, monotonically decreasing function of its argument, as required to produce a realistic pion electromagnetic form factor, then it is straightforward to establish that∀Δ2>0,θπ2(Δ2)−Fπ(Δ2)>0. (15) (rθ2π)2<r2π , as demonstrated previously in Ref. [59 ][Eq. (41)].Using Eq. (13 ) and the ensemble characterization parameters in Table1 , one finds (in fm):ABlQCDrθ2π0.518(16)0.498(14)0.512(21), (16) rπ /fm = 0.64(2). These results yield the data-driven predictionrθ2π/rπ=0.79(3) , which translates into a spacetime volume ratio of 0.39(6).Considering Ref. [59][Eq. (41)], it is plain that the radii and associated uncertainties in Eq. (16) are determined by knowledge of rπ and the DF ensembles. This simplicity is a feature of the factorized Ansatz for the LFWF. As evident from Ref. [59][Fig. 6A], on the domain
Δ2r2π≃0 , relevant to radius determination, there is practically no difference between pion GPDs obtained using factorized and nonfactorized LFWFs. Hence, in the context of Eq. (16), the factorized representation is a reliable approximation.Exploiting these features further and adapting the arguments that lead to Ref. [55 ][Eq. (7)], one arrives at the following constraints on the radii ratio for pion-like bound-states:1√2≤rθ2π/rπ≤1, (17) u(x;ζℋ)=θ(x)θ(1−x) , and the upper by the DF of a bound-state formed from infinitely massive valence degrees-of-freedom,u(x;ζℋ)=δ(x−1/2) . In the context of Eqs. (16 ) and (17 ), we note that an analysis ofγ *γ →π 0π 0 data[78 ] using a generalized distribution amplitude formalism, with subsequent analytic continuation to space-like momenta to enable extraction of a mass radius, yields:[79 ]rθ2π/rπ=0.49 –0.59. Although the radii size ordering is qualitatively similar to our determination, the value of the ratio is smaller and inconsistent with the bounds in Eq. (17 ). Furthermore, regarding theory, CSMs produce the results drawn in Figs.2 and4 , which yieldrθ2π/rπ=0.81(3) , viz. a value consistent with the data-driven result. On the other hand, analyses based on momentum-independent quark+antiquark interactions produce smaller values:rθ2π/rπ=0.71 [80 ] andrθ2π/rπ=0.53 .[81 ] Here, for reasons explained elsewhere,[82 ] the mutual inconsistency is attributable to the different treatments of the momentum-independent interaction used in those studies. Moreover, Ref. [80 ] result is consistent with Eq. (17 ) because it omits resonance pole contributions to both radii and that in Ref. [81 ] fails the test because it only includes such contributions torπ .It is worth recording here that the pion LFWF, hence GPD, is independent of the probe: it is the same whether a photon or graviton is the probing object. However, the probe itself is sensitive to different features of the target constituents. A target dressed-quark carries the same charge, irrespective of its momentum. So, the pion wave function alone controls the distribution of charge. On the other hand, the gravitational interaction of a target dressed-quark depends on its momentum – see Eq. (13); after all, the current relates to the energy momentum tensor. The pion effective mass distribution therefore depends on interference between quark momentum growth and LFWF momentum suppression. This pushes support to a larger momentum domain in the pion, which corresponds to a smaller distance domain.
GPD in Impact Parameter Space. An impact parameter space (IPS) GPD is defined via a Hankel transform:uπ(x,b2⊥;ζH)=∫∞0dΔ2πΔJ0(|b⊥|Δ)Huπ(x,0,−Δ2;ζH), (18) J 0 is a cylindrical Bessel function. This is a density, which reveals the probability of finding a valence-quark within the light-front at a transverse distance |b ⊥| from the meson’s center of transverse momentum. Using Eq. (9 ), Eq. (18 ) simplifies:uπ(x,b2⊥;ζH)=uπ(x;ζH)(1−x)2Ψπ(|b⊥|1−x;ζH), (19a) Ψπ(u;ζH)=∫∞0ds2πsJ0(us)Φπ(s2;ζH). (19b) 19 ), it becomes clear that the global maximum of the IPS GPD is given by the value ofuπ(x=1,b2⊥=0;ζH) .Herein, motivated by the presence of scaling violations in Fπ(Δ2)[74–76] and informed by Ref. [59][Eq. (38)] and Ref. [83][Eq. (14)], we ensure the Hankel transforms are finite by matching each member of a form factor ensemble to (y = Δ2) [(1 + a1y)/(1 + a2y + (a3y)2)][(1 + a0y)/(1 + a0y ln [1 + a0y])], with a0,1,2,3 being fitting parameters.
In depicting the IPS GPD, it is usual to draw2π|b⊥|uπ(x,b2⊥;ζH) . The peak in this function is shifted to |b ⊥| > 0 by an amount that reflects aspects of bound-state structure. These features are evident in Fig.5 , which displays the IPS GPDs obtained from both A and B ensembles. Thex > 0 locations of the global maxima and their intensities, given as a triplet {x ,b ⊥/rπ ,iπ }, arexb⊥/rπiπCSM[59]0.880.133.29A0.89(2)0.10(2)3.21(30)B0.95(1)0.05(1)4.58(50)lQCD0.91(6)0.08(5)4.04(1.67). (20) x → 0 because, with diminishingx , the valence degree-of-freedom plays a progressively smaller role in defining the pion’s center of transverse momentum.Fig. Fig. 5.

(21) ζ -independent.The light-front transverse densities in Eq. (21) are drawn in Fig. 6. Evidently, consistent with the analysis presented above, the pion’s light-front transverse mass distribution is more compact than the analogous charge distribution. Moreover, the data-built results are consistent with modern theory predictions.

Supposing that there exists an effective charge which defines an evolution scheme for parton distribution functions (DFs) that is all-orders exact[53–55] and working solely with existing pion+nucleus Drell-Yan and electron+pion scattering data,[33–40] we used a χ2-based selection procedure to develop ensembles of model-independent representations of the three-dimensional pointwise behavior of the pion generalized parton distribution (GPD). These ensembles yield a data-driven prediction for the pion mass distribution form factor, θ2. In comparison with the pion elastic electromagnetic form factor, obtained analogously, θ2 is more compact; and based on extant data, the ratio of the radii derived from these form factors is
rθ2π/rπ=0.79(3) .Our results are reported at the hadron scale, ζℋ, whereat, by definition, all hadron properties are carried by dressed valence quasiparticle degrees-of-freedom. Nevertheless, using the all-orders evolution scheme, one can readily determine the manner in which these distributions are shared amongst the various parton species at any scale ζ>ζℋ – see, e.g., Ref. [59].
Improvement of our data-driven predictions must await new data relevant to pion DFs and improvements in associated analysis methods; and pion form factor data that extends to larger momentum transfers than currently available. Meanwhile, our results for the pion GPD, related form factors and distributions should serve as valuable constraints on modern pion structure theory.
No similar analysis for the kaon will be possible before analogous empirical information becomes available. In this case, today, the kaon charge radius cannot be considered known[73] because kaon elastic form factor data are sketchy[84,85] and only eight data relevant to kaon valence-quark DFs are available.[86]
Given the importance of contrasting pion and proton mass distributions in the search for an understanding of emergent hadron mass, completing a kindred analysis that leads to data-driven ensembles of proton GPDs should be given high priority. Precise elastic form factor data are available;[87–89] however, despite a wealth of data relevant to proton DFs, improved analyses are required, including, e.g., effects of next-to-leading-logarithm resummation. Meanwhile, one might begin with existing theory predictions that provide a unified description of pion and proton DFs.[90]
