Description

In this talk I present a new method to compute the light-front wave functions for a system of two interacting scalar particles using contour deformations. After solving the two-body Bethe-Salpeter equation, the projection onto the light front is done through a combination of contour deformations and analytic continuation methods. The resulting light-front wave functions and distribution amplitudes are in agreement with the Nakanishi method frequently used in the literature. Finally, several extensions of the model towards unequal-mass systems and complex conjugate propagator poles are studied to make contact with QCD.
