Generalized parton distributions for the pion in chiral perturbation theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Generalized parton distributions provide a unified parameterization of hadron structure and allow one to combine information from many different observables. Lattice QCD calculations already provide important input to determine these distributions and hold the promise to become even more important in the future. To this end, a reliable extrapolation of lattice calculations to the physical quark and pion masses is needed. We present an analysis for the moments of generalized parton distributions of the pion in one-loop order of chiral perturbation theory.

Generalized parton distributions for the nucleon in chiral perturbation theory
We complete the analysis of twist-two generalized parton distributions of the nucleon in one-loop order of heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. Extending our previous study of the chiral-even isosinglet sector, we give results for chiral-even isotriplet distributions and for the chiral-odd sector. We also calculate the one-loop corrections for the chiral-odd generalized parton distributions...
متن کاملComment on soft-pion emission in DVCS
The soft-pion theorem for pion production in deeply virtual Compton scattering, derived by Guichon, Mossé and Vanderhaegen, is shown to be consistent with chiral perturbation theory. Chiral symmetry requires that the nonsinglet operators corresponding to spin-independent and spindependent parton distributions have the same anomalous dimensions in cases where those operators are related by chira...
متن کاملA Simple Model for Generalised Parton Distributions of the Pion
We present here an extension of our model for the pion, which we used previously to calculate its diagonal structure function, to the off-forward case. The imaginary part of the off-forward γπ → γπ scattering amplitude is evaluated in the chiral limit (mπ = 0) and related to the twist-two and twist-three generalised parton distributions H, H, H̃. Non-perturbative effects, linked to the size of t...
متن کاملChiral perturbation theory for nucleon generalized parton distributions
We analyze the moments of the isosinglet generalized parton distributions H, E, H̃, Ẽ of the nucleon in one-loop order of heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. We discuss in detail the construction of the operators in the effective theory that are required to obtain all corrections to a given order in the chiral power counting. The results will serve to improve the extrapolation of lattice re...
متن کاملBreakdown of chiral expansion for parton distributions
In the framework of the chiral perturbation theory (χPT) we computed twoand three-loop corrections to the pion parton distributions which posses δ-function singularities at xBj → 0. This calculation explicitly demonstrates that in the region of small xBj ∼ m 2 π/(4πFπ) 2 standard χPT breaks down and one needs resummation of all orders of χPT. We give an example of such resummation.
