Measure of the kaon structure: generalized valence quark distribution functions and form factors
Abstract
We investigate the structure of the K+ meson through calculating its valence-quark (anti quark) generalized parton distribution functions (GPDs) and form factors (FFs). For this purpose, we use a theoretical framework which is based on the exponential representation scheme (ERS). In this scheme the valence-quark GPDs of the light mesons, including the kaon, are considered as the valence quark distribution function crossed by the exponential of a profile function, at zero skewness. We apply the modified chiral quark model (χQM ) to obtain the input valence distribution functions of the kaon in above scheme and calculate its valence GPDs. The kaon's electromagnetic and gravitational form factors are also determined and compared with existing experimental data and the results of some theoretical and phenomenological models.
