Longitudinal and transverse parton momentum distributions for pion and nucleon within relativistic constituent quark models

Abstract

Longitudinal and transverse quark momentum distributions for the pion and the nucleon are calculated from quark-hadron vertexes obtained by an investigat ion of electromagnetic form factors within relativistic constituent quark models. The no-helicity flip generalized parton distributions for the pion are evaluated within three different models. The relevance for the pion of the one-gluon-exchange dominance at short range for the behavior of the form factor at large momentum transfer and of the parton distributions at the end points is shown.
