RT Journal Article T1 Pion scalar, vector, and tensor form factors from a contact interaction A1 Wang, Xiaobin A1 Xing, Zanbin A1 Kang, Jiayin A1 Raya, Khépani A1 Chang, L. AB The pion scalar, vector, and tensor form factors are calculated within a symmetry-preserving contact interaction model (CI) of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), encompassed within a Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations approach. In addition to the traditional rainbow-ladder truncation, a modified interaction kernel for the Bethe-Salpeter equation is adopted. The implemented kernel preserves the vector and axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identities, while also providing additional freedom. Consequently, new tensor structures are generated in the corresponding interaction vertices, shifting the location of the mass poles appearing in the quark-photon and quark tensor vertex and yielding a notorious improvement in the final results. Despite the simplicity of the CI, the computed form factors and radii are compatible with recent lattice QCD simulations.
