A singly heavy baryon can be considered as a state consisting of the $N_c-1$ light valence quarks that create the pion mean field in the large $N_c$ limit. In the limit of the infinitely heavy quark mass, a heavy quark inside a singly heavy…

The relation between the pion's quark distribution function, $q(x)$, its light-front wave function, and the elastic charge form factor, $F(\Delta^2)$ is explored. The square of the leading-twist pion wave function at a special probe scale,…
The impulse-approximation expression used hitherto to define the pion's valence-quark distribution function is flawed because it omits contributions from the gluons which bind quarks into the pion. A corrected leading-order expression…

Current light-cone wave functions for the nucleon are unsatisfactory since they are in conflict with the data of the nucleon's Dirac form factor at large momentum transfer. Therefore, we attempt a determination of a new wave function…
The recent measurement from the CLEO experiment presents the $DD^*\pi$ coupling, $17.9\pm 0.3 \pm 1.9$. This value is much larger than any of QCD sum rule predictions available in literature. We report that, with a relevant treatment of the…
