چکیده

We compute the nucleon matrix elements of QCD operators of twist 3 and 4 in the instanton vacuum. We consider the operators determining 1/Q 2 –power corrections to the Bjorken, Ellis–Jaffe and Gross–Llewellyn-Smith sum rules. The nucleon is described as a soliton of the effective chiral theory derived from instantons in the 1/N c –expansion. QCD operators involving the gluon field are systematically represented by effective operators in the effective chiral theory. We find that twist–3 matrix elements are suppressed relative to twist–4 by a power of the packing fraction of the instanton medium. Numerical results for the spin–dependent (d (2) , f (2)) and spin–independent twist–3 and 4 matrix elements are compared with results of other approaches and with experimental estimates of power corrections. The methods developed can be used to evaluate a wide range of matrix elements relevant to DIS.

Nucleon matrix elements of twist – 3 and 4 operators from the instanton vacuum †

The spin–dependent twist–3 and 4 nucleon matrix elements d (2) and f (2) describing power corrections to the Bjorken and Ellis–Jaffe sum rules are computed in the instanton vacuum. A systematic expansion in the small packing fraction of the instanton medium, ¯ ρ/ ¯ R ≪ 1, is performed. We find that the twist–3 matrix element d (2) is suppressed [of order (¯ ρ/ ¯ R) 4 ], while the twist–4 matrix...

We show that the instanton model of the QCD vacuum indicates the parametric smallness of the twist-3 contributions to the polarized structure function h L. This smallness is related to the diluteness of the QCD instanton vacuum. 1. Among higher twist parton distributions the twist-3 distributions play a special role. In many physical observables the twist-3 distributions enter not suppressed by...

Twist – 4 contribution to unpolarized structure functions F L and F 2 from instantons

We compute in the instanton vacuum the nucleon matrix elements of the twist–4 QCD operators describing power corrections to the second moments of the unpolar-ized structure functions, F L and F 2. Our approach takes into account the leading contribution in the packing fraction of the instanton medium, ¯ ρ/ ¯ R ≪ 1. Paramet-rically leading are the matrix elements of a twist–4 quark–gluon operato...

Spin – dependent twist – 4 matrix elements from the instanton vacuum : Flavor – singlet and nonsinglet

We estimate the twist–4 spin–1 nucleon matrix element f 2 in an instanton–based description of the QCD vacuum. In addition to the flavor–nonsinglet we compute also the flavor–singlet matrix element, which appears in next–to–leading order of the 1/N c –expansion. The corresponding twist–3 spin–2 matrix elements d 2 are suppressed in the packing fraction of the instanton medium, ¯ ρ/ ¯ R ≪ 1. We ...

Nucleon structure functions from the instanton vacuum : Leading and non - leading twists †

We review the description of nucleon structure functions in the instanton vacuum. This includes the calculation of the twist–2 parton distributions at a low normaliza-tion point as well as higher–twist matrix elements. The instanton vacuum with its inherent small parameter, the packing fraction of the instanton medium, ¯ ρ/R, provides a consistent picture of the non-perturbative gluon degrees o...
