Pion, kaon and nucleon gravitational form factors

Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: A unified set of predictions for pion, kaon and nucleon gravitational form factors is obtained using a symmetry-preserving truncation of each relevant quantum field equation. A crucial aspect of the study is the self-consistent characterization of the dressed quark-graviton vertices, applied when probing each quark flavor inside mesons or nucleons. The calculations reveal that each hadron’s mass radius is smaller than its charge radius, matching available empirical inferences; moreover, core pressures are significantly greater than those in neutron stars. This set of predictions is expected to be instrumental as forthcoming experiments provide opportunities for validation.
