Skewed parton distributions for B → π transitions
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the b-u skewed parton distributions (SPDs) for B → π transitions and determine the contributions from several sources (overlaps of soft light-cone wave functions, quark-antiquark annihilations and meson resonances). The B → π transition form factors, which are relevant in exclusive semi-leptonic and non-leptonic B-decays, are obtained by integrating the b-u SPDs over the momentum fraction x. A phenomenological determination of the relevant parameters allows us to predict the form factors and to obtain the branching ratios for semi-leptonic B → π decays.

THE b − u SKEWED PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS
The b-u skewed parton distributions (SPDs) are discussed. The SPDs allow an un-ambigous superposition of overlap and resonsance contributions and their zeroth order moments represent the B → π transition form factors. The values of the form factors at maximum recoil are found to be F + (0) = F 0 (0) = 0.22 ± 0.05 in agreement with measurements of the B → ππ branching ratio. The branching ratios...

We explore skewed parton distributions for simple, model wave-functions in a truncated two-body Fock space. Consideration of non-Gaussian wave functions is our main emphasis, from which we observe the distributions are bimodal (there can be two distinct peaks) in the Fock-space diagonal overlap region (x > ξ). We demonstrate that this behavior arises from convoluting two light-front wave functi...

The overlap representation of skewed parton distributions (SPDs) is discussed and applications to wide-angle Compton scattering and electroproduction of mesons are presented. The amplitudes for these processes factorise into parton-level subprocess amplitudes and form factors representing 1/x-moments of SPDs.

We briefly discuss the problem of specifying initial conditions for evolution of off-diagonal (skewed) parton distributions. We present numerical results to show that evolution rapidly washes out differences of input. Off-diagonal (or skewed) parton distributions provide important information about the nonper-turbartive structure of the nucleon [ 1]. They can in principle be measured in such pr...
