Transverse pion structure beyond leading twist in constituent models
نویسندگان
چکیده
The understanding of the pion structure as described in terms of transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) is of importance for the interpretation of currently ongoing Drell-Yan experiments with pion beams. In this work we discuss the description of pion TMDs beyond leading twist in a pion model formulated in the light-front constituent framework. For comparison, we also review and derive new results for pion TMDs in the bag and spectator model.

Single Transverse-Spin Asymmetries in Hadronic Pion Production
We analyze single transverse-spin asymmetries for hadronic pion production at large transverse momenta using QCD factorization. In the large xF region, leading contributions to the asymmetries are naturally produced by twist-3 parton correlation functions that couple quark fields and gluon field strengths. With a simple model for these matrix elements, leading-order asymmetries calculated from ...
متن کاملNovel Master Formula for Twist-3 Soft-Gluon-Pole Mechanism to Single Transverse-Spin Asymmetry
We prove that twist-3 soft-gluon-pole (SGP) cross section for single spin asymmetries is determined by a certain “primordial” twist-2 cross section up to kinematic and color factors in the leading order perturbative QCD. This unveils universal structure behind the SGP cross sections in a variety of hard processes, and also the special role of the scale invariance in the corresponding primordial...
متن کاملHadroproduction of Charmonium at Large x
We present a higher-twist production mechanism for η c and χ J charmonium at large momentum fraction x F in pion-nucleon collisions. The higher-twist contribution is essentially independent of x F and therefore becomes dominant at large x F , where the leading-twist contribution falls off as (1 − x F) 3. We show that the higher-twist mechanism produces longitudinally polarized χ 1 and χ 2. For ...
متن کاملQuark-Hadron Duality in Electron-Pion Scattering
We explore the relationship between exclusive and inclusive electromagnetic scattering from the pion, focusing on the transition region at intermediate Q2. Combining Drell-Yan data on the leading twist quark distribution in the pion with a model for the resonance region at large x, we calculate QCD moments of the pion structure function over a range of Q2, and quantify the role of higher twist ...
متن کاملHigher Twist Effects In Proton-Proton Collisions
In this article, we investigate the contribution of the high twist Feynman diagrams to the large-pT pion production cross section in proton-proton collisions and we present the general formulae for the high and leading twist differential cross sections. The pion wave function where two non-trivial Gegenbauer coefficients a2 and a4 have been extracted from the CLEO data, two other pion model wav...
