Quark and gluon helicity evolution at small x: revised and updated
نویسندگان
چکیده
We revisit the problem of small Bjorken-$x$ evolution gluon and flavor-singlet quark helicity distributions in shock wave ($s$-channel) formalism. Earlier works on subject same framework resulted an equation for field-strength $F^{12}$ "axial current" ${\bar\psi}\gamma^+\gamma^5\psi$ operators (sandwiched between appropriate light-cone Wilson lines) double-logarithmic approximation (DLA: summing powers $\alpha_s\,\ln^2(1/x)$ with $\alpha_s$ strong coupling constant). In this work, we observe that important mixing above another operator, $\overleftarrow{D}^i\,{D}^i$, also sandwiched lines (with repeated index $i=1,2$ summed over), was missing previous works. This operator has physical meaning sub-eikonal (covariant) phase: its contribution to is shown be proportional $D^i-\overleftarrow{D}^i$, which related Jaffe-Manohar polarized distribution. work include into small-$x$ evolution, construct a novel all three ($D^i-\overleftarrow{D}^i$, $F^{12}$, ${\bar\psi}\gamma^+\gamma^5\psi$), generalizing results. closed DLA equations large-$N_c$ large-$N_c\& N_f$ limits, $N_c$ $N_f$ numbers colors flavors, respectively. Solving numerically obtain following asymptotics $\Delta \Sigma$ G$, along $g_1$ structure function, \[\Delta\Sigma(x,Q^2)\sim\Delta G(x,Q^2)\sim g_1(x,Q^2)\sim\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{3.66\,\sqrt{\frac{\alpha_s\,N_c}{2\pi}}},\] complete agreement earlier by Bartels, Ermolaev Ryskin.

Small-x Asymptotics of the Gluon Helicity Distribution
We determine the small-x asymptotics of the gluon helicity distribution in a proton at leading order in perturbative QCD at large Nc. To achieve this, we begin by evaluating the dipole gluon helicity TMD at small x. In the process we obtain an interesting new result: in contrast to the unpolarized dipole gluon TMD case, the operator governing the small-x behavior of the dipole gluon helicity TM...
متن کاملConstraints on gluon evolution at small x 1
The BFKL and the unified angular-ordered equations are solved to determine the gluon distribution at small x. The impact of kinematic constraints is investigated. Predictions are made for observables sensitive to the gluon at small x. In particular comparison is made with measurements at the HERA electron-proton collider of the proton structure function F 2 (x, Q 2) as a function of ln Q 2 , th...

متن کاملNew results on quark helicity distributions and gluon polarization from the COMPASS experiment at CERN
The new results on quark helicity distributions and on the gluon polarization ∆G/G from the COMPASS experiment will be presented. COMPASS is a DIS experiment using polarized muons with an energy of 160 GeV scattered off polarized deuteron and proton targets. Quark helicity distributions are obtained from inclusive and semi-inclusive reactions from the 2002-2004 and 2006 deuteron data and from t...
