Generalized parton distributions in a meson cloud model
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a model calculation of the generalized parton distributions where the nucleon is described by a quark core surrounded by a mesonic cloud. In the one-meson approximation, we expand the Fock state of the physical nucleon in a series involving a bare nucleon and two-particle, meson-baryon, states. We discuss the role of the different Fock-state components of the nucleon by deriving a convolution formalism for the unpolarized generalized parton distributions, and showing predictions at different kinematics.

Virtual meson cloud of the nucleon and generalized parton distributions
We present the general formalism required to derive generalized parton distributions within a convolution model where the bare nucleon is dressed by its virtual meson cloud. In the one-meson approximation the Fock states of the physical nucleon are expanded in a series involving a bare nucleon and two-particle, meson-baryon, states. The baryon is assumed here to be either a nucleon or a ∆ descr...
متن کاملBreaking in Parton Distributions
We apply the Meson Cloud Model to the calculation of nonsinglet parton distributions in the nucleon sea, including the octet and the decuplet cloud baryon contributions. We give special attention to the differences between nonstrange and strange sea quarks, trying to identify possible sources of SU(3) flavor breaking. A analysis in terms of the κ parameter is presented, and we find that the exi...
متن کاملGeneralized parton distributions in the deuteron.
We introduce generalized quark and gluon distributions in the deuteron, which can be measured in exclusive processes like deeply virtual Compton scattering and meson electroproduction. We discuss the basic properties of these distributions and point out how they probe the interplay of nucleon and parton degrees of freedom in the deuteron wave function.

The process of exclusive heavy vector meson photoproduction, γp → V p, is studied in the framework of QCD factorization. The mass of the produced meson, V = Υ or J/Ψ, provides a hard scale for the process. We demonstrate, that in the heavy quark limit and at the one-loop order in perturbation theory, the amplitude factorizes in a convolution of a perturbatively calculable hard-scattering amplit...
متن کاملElectroproduction of vector mesons - factorization of end-point contributions
The end-point contributions in the quark longitudinal momentum fraction of the virtual photon (γ) to vector meson (V ) impact factor to the diffractive electroproduction amplitude can be factorized in terms of a generalized parton evolution of the target parton distribution. The result is used to model the helicity amplitudes γp → V p in terms of small x generalized parton distributions. e-mail...
