Abstract: (arXiv)
We present a method to compute lightcone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) of heavy meson within heavy quark effective theory (HQET). Our method utilizes quasi distribution amplitudes (quasi-DAs) with a large momentum component PzP^z. We point out that by sequentially integrating out PzP^z and mHm_H, one can disentangle different dynamical scales. Integrating out PzP^z allows to connect quasi-DAs to QCD LCDAs, and then integrating out mHm_H enables to relate QCD LCDAs to HQET LCDAs. To verify this proposal, we make use of lattice QCD simulation on a lattice ensemble with spacing a=0.05187a = 0.05187 fm. The preliminary findings for HQET LCDAs qualitatively align with phenomenological models. Using a recent model for HQET LCDAs, we also fit the first inverse moment λB1\lambda_B^{-1} and the result is consistent with the experimentally constrain from BγνB \to \gamma \ell\nu_\ell. This agreement demonstrates the promise of our method in providing first-principle predictions for heavy meson LCDAs.
