Representation of the virtual Compton amplitude for polarized scattering in the generalized Bjorken region
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Compton amplitude is calculated in terms of expectation values of light–ray quark operators. As a technical tool we apply the nonlocal light–cone expansion. Thereby we express the expectation value of the vector light–ray operator with the help of the expectation value of the corresponding scalar operator of twist 2. This allows important simplifications. In the limit of forward scattering the integral relations between the twist–2 contributions of the structure functions are implied directly.

The Virtual Compton Amplitude in the Generalized Bjorken Region: Twist–2 Contributions
A systematic derivation is presented of the twist–2 anomalous dimensions of the general quark and gluon light–ray operators in the generalized Bjorken region in leading order both for unpolarized and polarized scattering. Various representations of the anomalous dimensions are derived in the non–local and local light cone expansion and their properties are discussed in detail. Evolution equatio...

A systematic study is performed of the structure of the twist–2 contributions to the virtual Compton amplitude in deep–inelastic non–forward scattering for general spin states in the non–local light cone expansion. The gauge invariance is proven in this approach for the twist–2 contributions for non–forward scattering. Relations are derived between the contributing non–forward amplitudes.

A quantum field theoretic treatment of the leading light–cone part of the virtual Compton amplitude is presented. The twist–decomposition of the operators is performed by a group–theoretic procedure respecting the Lorentz group O(3, 1). The twist–2 contributions to the Compton amplitude are calculated and it is shown that the electromagnetic current is conserved for these terms. Relations betwe...

We consider the azimuthal angle dependence in the cross section of the hard leptoproduction of a photon on a nucleon target. We show that this dependence allows to define observables that isolate the twist-two and twist-three sectors in the deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude. All twist-two and twist-three Compton form factors can be extracted from measurements of the charge odd part of...

We compute the cross section for leptoproduction of the real photon off the nucleon, which is sensitive to the deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude with power accuracy. Our considerations go beyond the leading twist and involve the complete analysis in the twist-three approximation. We discuss consequences of the target and lepton beam polarizations for accessing the generalized parton d...
