Abstract
We study the most general, relativistic, constituent meson wave function within a new covariant framework. We find that by including a tensor wave function component, a pure valence quark model is now capable of reproducing not only all static pion data () but also the distribution amplitude, form factor [], and structure functions. Further, our generalized spin wave function provides a much better detailed description of meson properties than models using a simple relativistic extension of the nonrelativistic wave function.
