Description

Using QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates the twist-2 pion distribution amplitude is determined by means of its moments and their confidence intervals, including also radiative corrections. An admissible set of pion distribution amplitudes is constructed in the a_2, a_4 plane of the Gegenbauer polynomial expansion coefficients. The determined a_2, a_4 region strongly overlaps with that extracted from the CLEO data by Schmedding and Yakovlev. Comparisons are given with results from Fermilab experiment E791 and recent lattice calculations.
