Pion and Rho Structure Functions from Lattice QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the lower moments of the deep-inelastic structure functions of the pion and the rho meson on the lattice. Of particular interest to us are the spin-dependent structure functions of the rho. The calculations are done with Wilson fermions and for three values of the quark mass, so that we can perform an extrapolation to the chiral limit.

Hadron Structure Functions from Lattice QCD – 1997
We review the status of lattice calculations of the deep-inelastic structure functions of the nucleon. In addition, we present some results on the pion and rho structure functions.
متن کاملLattice Charge Overlap I: Elastic Limit of Pi and Rho Mesons
Using lattice QCD on a 163 × 24 lattice at β = 6.0, we examine the elastic limit of charge overlap functions in the quenched approximation for the pion and rho meson; results are compared to previous direct current insertion calculations. A good signal is seen for the pion, but the electric and magnetic rho meson results are considerably noisier. We find that the pion and rho results are charac...
متن کاملInsight into Hadron Structure from Lattice QCD
A variety of evidence from lattice QCD is presented revealing the dominant role of instantons in the propagation of light quarks in the QCD vacuum and in light hadron structure. The instanton content of lattice gluon configurations is extracted, and observables calculated from the instantons alone are shown to agree well with those calculated using all gluons. The lowest 128 eigenfunctions of t...
متن کاملProgress in hadron structure physics on the lattice∗
This is a review of progress in hadron structure physics from lattice QCD. Recent results on the structure of the nucleon and the pion in terms of (transition) form factors, moments of distribution amplitudes and (generalized) parton distribution functions are presented. These observables allow us to investigate a number of fundamental physics questions related to e.g. the distribution of charg...
متن کاملQCD with dynamical Wilson fermions at β = 5.5 ∗
We study QCD with two flavors of dynamical Wilson fermions at β = 5.5 and three values of κ. The corresponding pion masses are 0.375, 0.324 and 0.262 in lattice units, with pion to rho mass ratios of 0.76, 0.71 and 0.62, respectively. We use the configurations to compute the heavy quark potential, leading to lattice spacings of 0.110, 0.105 and 0.099 fm, and to compute spectroscopy for several ...
