Non-perturbative Pion Matrix Element of a twist-2 operator from the Lattice
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a continuum limit value of the lowest moment of a twist-2 operator in pion states from non-perturbative lattice calculations. We find that the non-perturbatively obtained renormalization group invariant matrix element is 〈x〉RGI = 0.179(11), which corresponds to 〈x〉 MS(2 GeV) = 0.246(15). In obtaining the renormalization group invariant matrix element, we have controlled important systematic errors that appear in typical lattice simulations, such as non-perturbative renormalization, finite size effects and effects of a non-vanishing lattice spacing. The crucial limitation of our calculation is the use of the quenched approximation. Another question that remains not fully clarified is the chiral extrapolation of the numerical data.

Recent results on moments of parton distribution functions ∗
Phenomenological fits to experimental data provide results for moments of parton distribution functions which allow a direct comparison with lattice calculations. In a recent paper [1] we were able to compute a continuum limit value of the lowest moment of a twist-2 operator, corresponding to the averagemomentum of non-singlet quark densities, in pion states. In obtaining the renormalisation gr...
متن کاملLattice hadron matrix elements with the Schrödinger functional: the case of the first moment of non-singlet quark density
We present the results of a non-perturbative determination of the pion matrix element of the twist-2 operator corresponding to the average momentum of non-singlet quark densities. The calculation is made within the Schrödinger functional scheme. We report the results of simulations done with the standard Wilson action and with the non-perturbatively improved clover action and we show that their...
متن کاملTwist – 4 quark – quark correlations in the pion from the instanton vacuum
The second moment of the isospin–2 structure function of the pion, F π+ 2 +F π− 2 −2F π 0 2 , is determined by the pion matrix element of a four–quark operator of twist 4. This isospin–2 operator cannot mix with lower–dimensional operators, and thus provides a clean probe of the quark–quark correlations in the pion. We calculate the matrix element in the effective chiral theory based on the ins...

We report on a lattice computation of the second moment of the pion matrix element of the twist-2 non-singlet operator corresponding to the average momentum of parton densities. We apply a fully non-perturbatively evaluated running renormalization constant as well as a careful extrapolation of our results to the continuum limit. Thus the only limitation of our final result is the quenched appro...
متن کاملNon - Perturbative Renormalisation of the Lattice ∆ S = 2 Four - Fermion Operator
We compute the renormalised four-fermion operator O ∆S=2 using a non-perturbative method recently introduced for determining the renormalisation constants of generic lattice composite operators. Because of the presence of the Wilson term, O ∆S=2 mixes with operators of different chiralities. A projection method to determine the mixing coefficients is implemented. The numerical results for the r...
