$$\rho $$ ρ meson transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions by Jin-Li Zhang, Jun Wu

“…Abstract In this paper, the light-front wave functions (LFWFs) of the $$\rho $$ ρ meson are evaluated in the framework of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model using the proper time regularization scheme. The transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions (TMDs) of the $$\rho $$ ρ meson are derived from the overlap representations of the LFWFs. …”
