The black solid line is the channel-independent tree-level result at leading twist. The colored dashed (solid) lines correspond to including one-loop corrections for both channels without (with) twist-4 contribution. Right: pion DA from a global fit to all data, using two parametrizations for the leading-twist DA and a selected fitting range (colored bands). The errors are only statistical. For comparison, also result from the quasidistribution approach is shown (dashed line), from [<a href="/journals/ahep/2019/3036904/#B246">224</a>].
