Abstract

Taking into account only the quark part of the energy-momentum tensor, the gravitational form-factors of the $ \pi $ and $ K $ mesons are calculated within the light-cone sum rules method using the distribution amplitudes of these pseudoscalar mesons. The $ Q^2 $-dependence of the relevant form-factors are obtained. Moreover, the mean square mass radii of $ \pi $ and $ K $ mesons are calculated and we find that $ \sqrt{\langle r_{\pi}^2 \rangle} = 0.31 {\rm\ fm} $ and $ \sqrt{\langle r_{K}^2 \rangle} = 0.24 {\rm\ fm} $, respectively. We compare our results for gravitational form-factors with the existing literature results. We obtain that our results on $ \sqrt{\langle r_\pi^2 \rangle} $ are in good agreement with the predictions of NJL model, AdS/QCD model, and other models as well as with the existing experimental data.
