Generalized Parton Distributions with Helicity Flip
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that for both quarks and gluons there are eight generalized parton distributions in the proton: four which conserve parton helicity and four which do not. We explain why time reversal invariance does not reduce this number from eight to six, as previously assumed in the literature.

Quark helicity flip generalized parton distributions from two-flavor lattice QCD
We present an initiatory study of quark helicity flip generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in nf = 2 lattice QCD, based on clover-improved Wilson fermions for a large number of coupling constants and pion masses. Quark helicity flip GPDs yield essential information on the transverse spin structure of the nucleon. In this work, we show first results on their lowest moments and dipole masses a...

This talk presents results from the QCDSF-UKQCD collaboration for moments of leading twist generalized parton distributions in two-flavor lattice QCD based on O(a) improved Wilson Fermions. We study helicity independent and helicity flip GPDs with a focus on densities of quarks in the transverse plane.
متن کاملModel study of generalized parton distributions with helicity flip
Generalized parton distributions with helicity flip are studied in the quark sector, within a simple version of the MIT bag model, assuming an SU(6) wave function for the proton target. In the framework under scrutiny it turns out that only the generalized transversity distribution, H T , is non vanishing. For this quantity, the forward limit is properly recovered and numerical results are foun...
متن کاملHelicity-flip Off-forward Parton Distributions of the Nucleon
We identify quark and gluon helicity-flip distributions defined between nucleon states of unequal momenta. The evolution of these distributions with change of renormalization scale is calculated in the leading-logarithmic approximation. The helicity-flip gluon distributions do not mix with any quark distribution and are thus a unique signature of gluons in the nucleon. Their contribution to the...
متن کاملThe generalized parton distributions of the nucleon in the NJL model based on the Faddeev approach ∗
We study the generalized parton distributions, including the helicity-flip ones, using Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model based on a relativistic Faddeev approach with ‘static approximation’. Sum rules relating the generalized parton distributions to nucleon electromagnetic form factors are satisfied. Moreover, quark-antiquark contributions in the region −ξ < x < ξ are non-vanishing. Our results are qual...
