Towards Deep-inelastic Structure Functions at Three Loops
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on the status of the calculation of deep-inelastic structure functions at three loops in perturbative QCD. The method employed allows to calculate the Mellin moments of structure functions analytically as a general function of N . As an illustration, we present the leading fermionic contributions to the non-singlet anomalous dimension of F2 at three loops and, as a new result, to the non-singlet coefficient function of F2 at three loops.

Charged current deep-inelastic scattering at three loops
We derive for deep-inelastic neutrino(ν)-proton(P) scattering in the combination νP− ν̄P the perturbative QCD corrections to three loops for the charged current structure functions F2, FL and F3. In leading twist approximation we calculate the first five odd-integer Mellin moments in the case of F2 and FL and the first five even-integer moments in the case of F3. As a new result we obtain the co...
متن کاملTowards the NNLO evolution of polarised parton distributions
We report on the first calculation of the structure function g1 in polarised deep-inelastic scattering to the third order in massless perturbative QCD. The calculation follows the dispersive approach already used for the corresponding unpolarised cases of F2,L, but additionally involves higher tensor integrals and the Dirac matrix γ5 in D = 4 dimensions. Our results confirm all known two-loop e...
متن کاملSymbolic Summation and Higher Orders in Perturbation Theory
Higher orders in perturbation theory require the calculation of Feynman integrals at multiple loops. We report on an approach to systematically solve Feynman integrals by means of symbolic summation and discuss the underlying algorithms. Examples such as the non-planar vertex at two loops, or integrals from the recent calculation of the three-loop QCD corrections to structure functions in deep-...
متن کاملNext-to-next-to-leading order QCD analysis of DIS structure functions
It is performed for the first time a next-to-next-to-leading order analysis of deep inelastic structure functions F2 and FL using the recently determined first moments of the non-singlet anomalous dimensions and the corresponding Wilson coefficients. From a comparison to BCDMS data we found a slight decrease in the energy scale of perturbative QCD with respect to the next-toleading order analys...
متن کاملNon-Singlet Structure Functions at Three Loops: Fermionic Contributions
We compute the fermionic (nf ) contributions to the flavour non-singlet structure functions in unpolarized electromagnetic deep-inelastic scattering at third order of massless perturbative QCD. Complete results are presented for the corresponding nf -parts of the three-loop anomalous dimension and the three-loop coefficient functions for the structure functions F2 and FL. Our results agree with...
