چکیده
Twist-three analysis of photon electroproduction off pion. Abstract We study twist-three effects in spin, charge, and azimuthal asymmetries in deeply virtual Compton scattering on a spin-zero target. Contributions which are power suppressed in 1/Q generate a new azimuthal angle dependence of the cross section which is not present in the leading twist results. On the other hand the leading twist terms are not modified by the twist three contributions. They may get corrected at twist four level, however. In the Wandzura-Wilczek approximation these new terms in the Fourier expansion with respect to the azimuthal angle are entirely determined by the twist-two skewed parton distributions. We also discuss more general issues like the general form of the angular dependence of the differential cross section, validity of factorization at twist-three level, and a relation of skewed parton distributions to spectral functions.

We describe the pion electroproduction processes in the ∆(1232)-resonance region within the framework of chiral effective-field theory. By studying the observables of pion electroproduction in a next-to-leading order calculation we are able to make predictions and draw conclusions on the properties of the N → ∆ electromagnetic form factors.

We investigate twist-3 effects in the polarized virtual photon. The structure function g γ 2 , which exists only for the virtual photon target and can be measured in future polarized e + e − collider experiments, receives both twist-2 and twist-3 contributions. The twist-3 part is analyzed in pure QED interaction as well as in LO QCD. We find the twist-3 contribution is appreciable for the phot...

We give the results of a simple model for the diagonal and off-diagonal valence quark distributions of a pion. We show that structure can be implemented in a gauge-invariant manner. This explicit model questions the validity of the momentum sum rule, and gives an explicit counter-example to the WandzuraWilczek ansatz for twist-3 GPD’s.

The electroproduction of η and η ′ mesons on the proton and the neutron is investigated at tree level within the framework of U (3) chiral perturbation theory. In addition to the Born terms low-lying resonances such as the vector mesons and J P = 1/2 + , 1/2 − baryon resonances are included explicitly and their contributions are calculated. Results for the separated differential cross sections ...
