Factorization of Twist-Four Gluon Operator Contributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider diagrams with up to four t-channel gluons in order to specify gluonic twist-four contributions to deep inelastic structure functions. This enables us to extend the method developed by R.K.Ellis, W.Furmanski, and R. Petronzio (EFP) [1] to the gluonic case. The method is based on low-order Feynman diagrams in combination with a dimensional analysis. It results in explicitly gauge invariant expressions for the factorization of twist-four gluon-operator matrix elements and the corresponding coefficient functions.

Nonfactorizable Contributions to Hadronic Matrix Elements by Use of Twist Wave Functions
A general approach for evaluating the nonfactorizable contributions to the hadronic matrix elements is described in terms of the higher twist wave functions of the mesons. An example is illustrated for the B → ππ decays. Supported in part by the US Department of Energy under contract DOE/ER/01545. The factorization approximation has conventionaly been used to describe the two-body nonleptonic d...
متن کاملHigher–twist Contributions to Fl and F2 from Instantons ∗
We study the twist–4 contribution to the unpolarized nucleon structure functions, F L and F 2 , in an approach where the vacuum structure of QCD is described by a dilute medium of instantons (¯ ρ/ ¯ R ≪ 1). The dominant power corrections come from the twist–4 quark–gluon operators and are of the order 1/(¯ ρ 2 Q 2). The contributions from four–quark operators are suppressed. The approach predic...
متن کاملTwist decomposition of nonlocal light-cone operators II: General tensors of 2nd rank
A group theoretical procedure, introduced earlier in [6], to decompose bilocal light–ray operators into (harmonic) operators of definite twist is applied to the case of arbitrary 2nd rank tensors. As a generic example the bilocal gluon operator is considered which gets contributions of twist–2 up to twist–6 from four different symmetry classes characterized by corresponding Young tableaux; also...
متن کاملOn hard electroproduction of mesons: helicity flip amplitudes with tensor gluon contributions
We consider hard electroproduction of mesons at twist-3 level and focus our attention on helicity flip amplitudes corresponding to the production of transversely polarized mesons by transverse photons. We demonstrate that helicity-flip amplitude for the transversely polarized particles are closely related to the contributions of the matrix elements of the tensor gluon operator which can serve a...
متن کاملTheoretical Update of Twist-3 Single-Spin Asymmetry in Semi-Inclusive DIS
We discuss the single-spin asymmetry in semi-inclusive DIS, ep → eπX, based on the twist-3 mechanism in the collinear factorization relevant for the pion production with the large transverse-momentum. This updates our previous study by including, in particular, the contributions induced by the novel partonic subprocesses, and allows us to derive the entire formula for the corresponding single-s...
