Hard Electroproduction of Hybrid Mesons
نویسنده
چکیده
We estimate the sizeable cross section for deep exclusive electroproduction of an exotic J = 1 hybrid meson in the Bjorken regime. The production amplitude scales like the one for usual meson electroproduction, i.e. as 1/Q. This is due to the non-vanishing leading twist distribution amplitude for the hybrid meson, which may be normalized thanks to its relation to the energy momentum tensor and to the QCD sum rules technique. The hard amplitude is considered up to next–to–leading order in αS and we explore the consequences of fixing the renormalization scale ambiguity through the BLM procedure.

We show that hard electroproduction is a promising way to study exotic hybrid mesons, in particular through the hybrid decay channel H → πη. We discuss the πη generalized distribution amplitude, calculate the production amplitude and propose a forward-backward asymmetry as a signal for the hybrid meson production.

We argue that the electroproduction of exotic particles is a useful tool for study of their partonic structure. In the case of hybrid mesons, the magnitude of their cross sections shows that they are accessible for measurements in existing electroproduction experiments.
متن کاملHard diffractive electroproduction of vector mesons in QCD.
Hard diffractive electroproduction of longitudinally polarized vector mesons is calculated within the leading αs ln Q2 ΛQCD approximation of QCD using the leading order parton densities within the nucleon. Novel QCD features of the production of excited states and of the restoration of flavor symmetry are analyzed. At the onset of the asymptotic regime, our analysis finds an important role of q...
متن کاملFactorization for hard exclusive electroproduction of mesons in QCD
We formulate and prove a QCD factorization theorem for hard exclusive electroproduction of mesons in QCD. The proof is valid for the leading power in Q and all logarithms. This generalizes previous work on vector meson production in the diffractive region of small x. The amplitude is expressed in terms of off-diagonal generalizations of the usual parton densities. The full theorem applies to al...
