Sea polarisation and the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum-rule(s)
نویسنده
چکیده
The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum-rule is really two sum-rules: one for each of the valence and the sea/glue contributions to the nucleon wavefunction. The convergence of these sum-rules follows from the Froissart bound for spin dependent processes in QCD and is necessary for the consistency of the constituent quark model of low energy QCD. Some challenges for future polarised photoproduction experiments, for example at ELFE, are discussed. ∗ [email protected]

The Drell - Hearn - Gerasimov Sum - Rule in QCD
Photoproduction spin sum-rules offer a new window on the spin structure of the nucleon that complements the information we can learn from polarised deep inelastic scattering experiments. We review the theory and present status of the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum-rule in QCD, emphasising the possible relation between the present " discrepancy " in this sum-rule and the nucleon's strangeness magneti...

The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov (DHG) sum rule relates the helicity structure of the photoabsorp-tion cross section to the anomalous magnetic moment of the nucleon. It is based on Lorentz and gauge invariance, crossing symmetry, causality and unitarity. A generalized DHG sum rule my be derived for virtual photons. At low momentum transfer this generalized sum rule is saturated by the resonance region...

We study the current-algebra approach to the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule, paying particular attention to the infinite-momentum limit. Employing the O(α2) WeinbergSalam model of weak interactions as a testing ground, we find that the legitimacy of the infinite-momentum limit is intimately connected with the validity of the naive equal-times algebra of electric charge densities. Our results co...

We show that the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum rule for the nucleon is entirely saturated by the ∆ resonance in the limit of a large number of colors, Nc → ∞. Corrections are at relative order 1/N2 c . Typeset using REVTEX
