Renormalon Model of Twist-4 Corrections to the Pion Distribution Amplitude
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe a renormalon-inspired model of twist–4 power corrections to the light-cone pion distribution amplitude, and compare it to the results obtained using the conformal wave expansion. We find that the overall functional form predicted in this renormalon model is similar to the one predicted in the standard approach to higher twist contributions involving an expansion in conformal operators. However, small discrepancies at the end-points allow for a discussion on the convergence properties of the conformal expansion.

The Chiral - Odd Distribution Function h 1 : IR - Renormalon Contribution and α s - Correction
The chiral-odd distribution function h 1 is discussed in the framework of the renormalon approach. Using a bag-model calculation for the twist-2 part of h 1 , we give an estimate of the twist-4 correction predicted by the renormalon ambiguity. The result is given as a function of Bjorken-x and for the first moments. We also extract the twist-2 perturbative corrections to the first moments of h 1 .
متن کاملNLO corrections and contribution of a tensor gluon operator to the process γ ∗ γ → ππ
We have calculated the NLO corrections for the leading twist amplitude of the reaction γ * γ → ππ at large virtuality of the photon and at W 2 ≪ Q 2. With a simple model for the two-pion quark and gluon distribution amplitudes we have estimated that the NLO effects may reduce the leading-order amplitude by as much as 30%. We have found that besides the usual twist-2 quark and gluon operators th...
متن کاملOn a Qcd-based Pion Distribution Amplitude vs. Recent Experimental Data
Using QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates the twist-2 pion distribution amplitude is determined by means of its moments and their confidence intervals, including also radiative corrections. An admissible set of pion distribution amplitudes is constructed in the a2, a4 plane of the Gegenbauer polynomial expansion coefficients. The determined a2, a4 region strongly overlaps with that extracte...
متن کاملPerturbative Effects in the Form Factor γγ∗ → π and Extraction of the Pion Distribution Amplitude from CLEO Data
We study the pion form factor F πγγ ∗ (Q2) in the light-cone sum rule approach, accounting for radiative corrections and higher twist effects. Comparing the results to the CLEO experimental data on F πγγ ∗ (Q2), we extract the the pion distribution amplitude of twist-2. The deviation of the distribution amplitude from the asymptotic one is small and is estimated to be a2(μ) = 0.12± 0.03 at μ = ...
متن کاملIR - Renormalon Contribution to the Longitudinal Structure Function F L
The available data on F L suggest the existence of unexpected large higher twist contributions. We use the 1/N f expansion to analyze the renormalon contribution to the coefficient function of the longitudinal structure function F p−n L. The renormalon ambiguity is calculated for all moments of the structure function thus allowing to estimate the contribution of " genuine " twist-4 corrections ...
