Abstract

We present an improved analysis of the constraints on the first two Gegenbauer moments, a2πa^\pi_2 and a4πa^\pi_4, of the pion's leading-twist distribution amplitude from a QCD light-cone sum rule analysis of BπB\to\pi weak transition form factor f+(q2)f_{+}(q^2). Proper chiral current is adopted in QCD light-cone sum rule so as to eliminate the most uncertain twist-3 contributions to f+(q2)f_{+}(q^2), and then we concentrate our attention on the properties of the leading-twist pion DA. A nearly model-independent f+(q2)f_+(q^2) as shown in Ref.\cite{pball0} that is based on the spectrum of BπlνB\to\pi l\nu decays from BaBar, together with their uncertainties, are adopted as the standard shape for f+(q2)f_+(q^2) to do our discussion. From a minimum χ2\chi^2-fit and by taking the theoretical uncertainties into account, we obtain a2π(1GeV)=0.170.17+0.15a^\pi_2(1GeV)=0.17^{+0.15}_{-0.17} and a4π(1GeV)=0.060.22+0.20a^\pi_4(1GeV)=-0.06^{+0.20}_{-0.22} at the 1σ1\sigma confidence level for mb[4.7,4,8]GeVm^*_b\in[4.7,4,8] GeV.
