%0 Journal Article %T Theoretical Update of Pseudoscalar Meson Distribution Amplitudes of Higher Twist: The Nonsinglet Case %A Patricia Ball %J Physics %D 1998 %I arXiv %R 10.1088/1126-6708/1999/01/010 %X We discuss the two and three particle light-cone distribution amplitudes (DAs) of pseudoscalar nonsinglet mesons of twist 3 and 4. Using nonlocal operator identities and conformal expansion, we derive closed expressions for several DAs. We also include meson-mass corrections which prove to be dominant in the twist 4 DAs of K and eta mesons. Explicit parametrizations for the DAs of pi, K and eta mesons are given, with the numerical input parameters determined from QCD sum rules. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9812375v1
