Abstract

Using the light-front holographic model, we study the transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) for the case of pion. At leading twist, the unpolarized parton distribution function f1π(x,\bfk2) f_{1\pi}(x,\bfk^{2}) and the Boer-Mulders function h1π(x,\bfk2) h_{1\pi}^{\bot}(x,\bfk^{2}) are obtained for pion. We calculate both the functions using the light-front holographic model with spin improved wave function and compare the predicted results with available results of other models. In order to provide inputs in predicting future experimental data, a LO evolution is performed from model scale to experimental scale for the case of unpolarized parton distribution function f1π(x,\bfk2) f_{1\pi}(x,\bfk^{2}) .
