Electroproduction of pion pairs
نویسنده
چکیده
We study hard exclusive electroproduction of two pions in the QCD factorization approach at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong coupling. The pion pair can be produced both in an isovector and in an isoscalar state. The angular distribution of the produced pion pairs allows one to project out a component that depends on the interference of the isovector and isoscalar channels. Using specific models for the involved generalized parton distributions and two-pion distribution amplitudes we investigate the angular distributions of the pion pair in NLO and compare them with HERMES data. The differences between the LO and NLO results are moderate and the agreement with data is satisfactory, though not perfect. Expecting new results from COMPASS collaboration we perform the calculation also for the COMPASS kinematics.

Exclusive electroproduction of pion pairs
We investigate electroproduction of pion pairs on the nucleon in the framework of QCD factorization for hard exclusive processes. We extend previous analyses by taking the hard-scattering coefficients at next-to-leading order in α s. The dynamics of the produced pion pair is described by two-pion distribution amplitudes, for which we perform a detailed theoretical and phenomenological analysis....
متن کاملPion charge radius from charged pion electroproduction
We analyze a low-energy theorem of threshold pion electroproduction which allows one to determine the charge radius of the pion. We show that at the same order where the radius appears, pion loops induce a correction to the momentum dependence of the longitudinal dipole amplitude L01 (2) . This model-independent correction amounts to an increase of the pion charge radius squared from the electr...
متن کاملAzimuthal Asymmetries in Inclusive Single Pion Electroproduction
The leading and sub-leading order results for pion electroproduction in polarized and unpolarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, are considered putting emphasis on transverse momentum dependent effects appearing in azimuthal asymmetries. In particular the spin-dependent (single, double) and spin-independent asymmetries of the distributions in the azimuthal angle φ of the pion related...
متن کاملThe Pion Electroproduction in the ∆(1232) Region
The amplitudes of the pion electroproduction from the nucleon are derived up to O(ǫ3) in the framework of chiral effective theory including pions, nucleons and ∆(1232) isobars as explicit degrees of freedom. The Q2 evolutions of the weighted integrals of amplitudes are presented and the predictive power of the method proposed in the previous study of pion photoproduction [1] is shown.
متن کاملA Study of Longitudinal Charged Pion Electroproduction on H , 2 H , 3 He
A series of measurements of single pion electroproduction on the proton, deuteron, and He was completed recently at Je erson Laboratory by the NucPi Collaboration. The data form the rst part of a study of longitudinal electroproduction in light nuclei. The goal is a determination of the longitudinal cross section in parallel kinematics by means of a Rosenbluth separation, and a search for targe...
