摘要

We present a calculation of the quark distribution amplitudes (DAs), the Gegenbauer moments, and decay constants for pi, rho, K, and K-* mesons using the light-front quark model. While the quark DA for pi is somewhat broader than the asymptotic one, that for rho meson is very close to the asymptotic one. The quark DAs for K and K-* show asymmetric form due to the flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking effect. The decay constants for the transversely polarized rho and K-* mesons (f(rho)(T) and f(K)(*T)) as well as the longitudinally polarized ones (f(rho) and f(K)(*)) are also obtained. Our averaged values for f(V)(T)/f(V), i.e. (f(rho)(T)/f(rho))(av)=0.78 and (f(K)(*T)/f(K)(*))(av)=0.84, are found to be consistent with other model predictions. Especially, our results for the decay constants are in good agreement with the SU(6) symmetry relation, f(rho(K)(*))(T)=(f(pi(K))+f(rho(K)(*)))/2.
