Q Evolution of Parton Distributions at Small X. a Study of Higher-twist Effects
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the Q evolution of parton distributions at small x values, obtained in the case of flat initial conditions. The contributions of twist-two and (renormalontype) higher-twist operators of the Wilson operator product expansion are taken into account. The results are in excellent agreement with deep inelastic scattering experimental data from HERA. Key-words: Quantum Chromodynamics, the deep-inelastic scattering, structure function, parton distribution, twist.

Working in the light-cone gauge, we find a simple procedure to calculate the autonomous one-loop Q2 evolution of the twist-three part of the nucleon gT (x,Q 2) structure function in the large-Nc limit. Our approach allows us to investigate the possibility of a similar large-Nc simplification for other higher-twist evolutions. In particular, we show that it does not occur for the twist-four part...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Perturbative Qcd: Q 2 Evolution of Chiral-odd Distributions
After reviewing QCD definitions of the chiral-odd spin-dependent parton distributions h1(x,Q) and hL(x,Q 2), I will summarize the main feature of the recent two results in perturbative QCD: (i) Next-to-leading order Q2 evolution of h1(x,Q). (ii) Leading order Q2 evolution of the twist-3 distribution hL(x,Q 2) and the universal simplification of the Q2 evolution of all the twist-3 distributions ...
متن کاملOn the Determination of Spin–Dependent Parton Distributions in Semi–Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering
New polarized fragmentation functions are introduced and justified, in addition to those conventional ones assumed to be independent of the helicity of the parent parton. It is demonstrated that due to our present ignorance concerning these new parton–spin dependent leading–twist fragmentation functions, it is impossible to utilize current experiments on spin–dependent semi–inclusive deep inela...
متن کاملThe Scale Dependent Nuclear Effects in Parton Distributions for Practical Applications
The scale dependence of the ratios of parton distributions in a proton of a nucleus A and in the free proton, R i (x,Q ) = fi/A(x,Q )/fi(x,Q ), is studied within the framework of the lowest order leading-twist DGLAP evolution. By evolving the initial nuclear distributions obtained with the GRV-LO and CTEQ4L sets at a scale Q0, we show that the ratios R i (x,Q ) are only moderately sensitive to ...
