We developed a model for the pion light-front wave function (LFWF) that
incorporates valence, sea and gluon degrees of freedom. Using the LFWF overlap
representation, we derived parametrizations for the pion parton distribution
functions and the electromagnetic form factor. These parametrizations depend on
two distinct sets of parameters, enabling separate fits of the longitudinal-
and transverse-momentum dependencies of the LFWF. The pion PDFs are extracted
from available Drell-Yan and photon-production data using the xFitter framework
and are found well compatible with existing extractions. Furthermore, the fit
of the electromagnetic form factor of the pion to all the available
experimental data works quite successfully.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures. Contribution presented at DIS202
