Abstract

We present a short review on the properties of heavy and light mesons' light-cone wavefunctions (LCWFs), and their distribution amplitudes (DAs). The B meson LCWFs can be treated by taking the heavy quark limit (mbm_b\to\infty) and by using the heavy quark effective theory. Furthermore, we propose a simple model for the B meson WFs with 3-particle Fock states' contributions, whose behaviors are controlled by two parameters Λˉ\bar\Lambda and δ\delta. Using such model, the form factors F+,0,TBπF^{B\to\pi}_{+,0,T} and F+,0,TBKF^{B\to K}_{+,0,T} in large recoil region are studied up to O(1/mb2){\cal O}(1/m_b^2) within the kTk_T factorization approach. On the other hand, we adopt Brodsky-Huang-Lepage (BHL) prescription for constructing the WFs of the lighter pseudoscalars as ηc\eta_c, D-meson, pion, kaon, η()\eta^{(\prime)} and etc. Such BHL-like model can be conveniently extended to construct the LCWFs for light scalar or vector mesons. Within such model the longitudinal distributions of those WFs are basically determined by a parameter BB, whose value can be determined via a global fit of experimental data.
