Quantum Field Theoretic Treatment of the Non–Forward Compton Amplitude in the Generalized Bjorken Region
نویسندگان
چکیده
A quantum field theoretic treatment of the leading light–cone part of the virtual Compton amplitude is presented. The twist–decomposition of the operators is performed by a group–theoretic procedure respecting the Lorentz group O(3, 1). The twist–2 contributions to the Compton amplitude are calculated and it is shown that the electromagnetic current is conserved for these terms. Relations between the amplitude functions associated to the symmetric and asymmetric part of the Compton amplitude are derived. These relations generalize the Callan– Gross and Wandzura–Wilczek relations of forward scattering for the non–forward Compton amplitude.

On the Structure of the Virtual Compton Amplitude in the Generalized Bjorken Region: Integral Relations
A systematic study is performed of the structure of the twist–2 contributions to the virtual Compton amplitude in deep–inelastic non–forward scattering for general spin states in the non–local light cone expansion. The gauge invariance is proven in this approach for the twist–2 contributions for non–forward scattering. Relations are derived between the contributing non–forward amplitudes.

A systematic derivation is presented of the twist–2 anomalous dimensions of the general quark and gluon light–ray operators in the generalized Bjorken region in leading order both for unpolarized and polarized scattering. Various representations of the anomalous dimensions are derived in the non–local and local light cone expansion and their properties are discussed in detail. Evolution equatio...
متن کاملRepresentation of the virtual Compton amplitude for polarized scattering in the generalized Bjorken region
The Compton amplitude is calculated in terms of expectation values of light–ray quark operators. As a technical tool we apply the nonlocal light–cone expansion. Thereby we express the expectation value of the vector light–ray operator with the help of the expectation value of the corresponding scalar operator of twist 2. This allows important simplifications. In the limit of forward scattering ...
