Higher Twist Distribution Amplitudes of the Nucleon in QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the first systematic study of higher-twist light-cone distribution amplitudes of the nucleon in QCD. We find that the valence three-quark state is described at small transverse separations by eight independent distribution amplitudes. One of them is leading twist-3, three distributions are twist-4 and twist-5, respectively, and one is twist-6. A complete set of distribution amplitudes is constructed, which satisfies equations of motion and constraints that follow from conformal expansion. Nonperturbative input parameters are estimated from QCD sum rules. Submitted to Nuclear Physics B

Baryon 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...

We compare a recent lattice determination of the nucleon distribution amplitudes with other approaches and models. We study the nucleon distribution amplitudes up to twist 6 in next-to leading conformal spin and we also investigate conformal d-wave contributions to the leading twist distribution amplitude. With the help of light-cone sum rules one can relate the distribution amplitudes to the f...
متن کاملNucleon distribution amplitudes from lattice QCD.
We calculate low moments of the leading-twist and next-to-leading-twist nucleon distribution amplitudes on the lattice using two flavors of clover fermions. The results are presented in the MS[over ] scheme at a scale of 2 GeV and can be immediately applied in phenomenological studies. We find that the deviation of the leading-twist nucleon distribution amplitude from its asymptotic form is les...
متن کاملHigher twist nucleon distribution amplitudes in Wandzura-Wilczek approximation
Hard exclusive processes provide an opportunity to access the internal structure of hadrons. As usual the processes with nucleons are of special importance due to their experimental availability. The theoretical description of exclusive processes is based on the QCD factorization approach [1–5]. It introduces a notion of the hadron distribution amplitudes (DAs) which can be thought of as moment...

We present an analysis of twist-2, leading order QCD amplitudes for hard exclusive leptoproduction of mesons in terms of double/nonforward parton distribution functions. After reviewing some general features of nonforward nucleon matrix elements of twist-2 QCD string operators, we propose a phenomenological model for quark and gluon nonforward distribution functions of nucleons. The correspondi...
