Generalized Parton Distributions for Weakly Bound Systems from Light-front Quantum Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
We present generalized parton distributions for weakly bound systems on the light cone in order to build intuition about the light-front formalism. Physics at the crossover is reviewed in terms of the light-cone Fock space representation. Furthermore, we link light-cone Fock components to the equal (light-cone) time projection of the covariant Bethe-Salpeter amplitude. Continuity of the distributions arises naturally in this weak binding model.

Helicity-dependent Twist-two and Twist-three Generalized Parton Distributions in Light-Front QCD
We investigate the helicity dependent twist-two and twist-three generalized parton distributions in light-front Hamiltonian QCD for a massive dressed quark target. Working in the kinematical region ξ < x < 1, we obtain the splitting functions for the evolutions of twist-two quark and gluon distributions in a straightforward way. For the twist-three distribution, we find that all contributions a...
متن کاملThe light-front gauge-invariant energy-momentum tensor
We provide for the first time a complete parametrization for the matrix elements of the generic asymmetric, non-local and gauge-invariant canonical energymomentum tensor, generalizing therefore former works on the symmetric, local and gaugeinvariant kinetic energy-momentum tensor also known as the Belinfante-Rosenfeld energymomentum tensor. We discuss in detail the various constraints imposed b...
متن کاملExploring Skewed Parton Distributions with Two-body Models on the Light Front II: covariant Bethe-Salpeter approach
We explore skewed parton distributions for two-body, light-front wave-functions. In order to access all kinematical régimes, we adopt a covariant Bethe-Salpeter approach, which makes use of the underlying equation of motion (here the Weinberg equation) and its Green’s function. Such an approach allows for the consistent treatment of the non-wave function vertex (but rules out phenomenological w...
متن کاملThe Heisenberg Matrix Formulation of Quantum Field Theory
Heisenberg’s matrix formulation of quantum mechanics can be generalized to relativistic systems by evolving in light-front time τ = t + z/c. The spectrum and wavefunctions of bound states, such as hadrons in quantum chromodynamics, can be obtained from matrix diagonalization of the light-front Hamiltonian on a finite dimensional light-front Fock basis defined using periodic boundary conditions ...
متن کاملLight-Front Dynamics and Generalized Parton Distributions
High energy reactions necessarily involve large momentum transfer to the target’s constituents, which thus rebound near light speed. The experimentally observed correlation between initial and final states measures the system’s response along the light cone. A convenient theoretical description of such reactions is light-front dynamics where the properties of physical states are described along...
