Soft Pion Emission from the Nucleon Induced by Twist-2 Light-Cone Operators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compute the matrix elements for pion emission from the nucleon induced by twist-two light-cone operators in the kinematics where the pion is close to threshold. It is shown that the results of heavy baryon ChPT are in agreement with the results from the soft-pion theorem approach. Therefore the amplitude of soft-pion emission is directly related to the generalized parton distributions in the nucleon.

The role of the pion cloud in the interpretation of the valence light-cone wavefunction of the nucleon
The pion cloud renormalises the light-cone wavefunction of the nucleon which is measured in hard, exclusive photon-nucleon reactions. We discuss the leading twist contributions to high-energy exclusive reactions taking into account both the pion cloud and perturbative QCD physics. The nucleon’s electromagnetic form-factor at high Q is proportional to the bare nucleon probability Z and the cross...
متن کاملBaryon Operators of Higher Twist in QCD and Nucleon Distribution Amplitudes
We develop a general theoretical framework for the description of higher–twist baryon operators which makes maximal use of the conformal symmetry of the QCD Lagrangian. The conformal operator basis is constructed for all twists. The complete analysis of the one-loop renormalization of twist-4 operators is given. The evolution equation for three-quark operators of the same chirality turns out to...
متن کاملPion Electromagnetic Form Factor in the KT Factorization Formulae
Based on the light-cone (LC) framework and the kT factorization formalism, the transverse momentum effects and the different helicity components’ contributions to the pion form factor Fπ(Q) are recalculated. In particular, the contribution to the pion form factor from the higher helicity components (λ1 + λ2 = ±1), which come from the spinspace Wigner rotation, are analyzed in the soft and hard ...
متن کاملRenormalon Model of Twist-4 Corrections to the Pion Distribution Amplitude
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 con...
متن کاملSkewed and double distributions in pion and nucleon
We study the non-forward matrix elements of twist–2 QCD light–ray operators and their representations in terms of skewed and double distributions, considering the pion as well as the nucleon. We point out the importance of explicitly including all twist–2 structures in the double distribution representation, which naturally leads to a " two–component " structure of the skewed distribution, with...
