Evolution of parton distributions with truncated Mellin moments

چکیده
Evolution equations for parton distributions can be approximately diagonalized and solved in moment space without assuming any knowledge of the parton distribution in the region of small x. The evolution algorithm for truncated moments is simple and rapidly converging. Examples of applications are outlined.

Evolution of truncated moments of singlet parton distributions
We define truncated Mellin moments of parton distributions by restricting the integration range over the Bjorken variable to the experimentally accessible subset x0 ≤ x ≤ 1 of the allowed kinematic range 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. We derive the evolution equations satisfied by truncated moments in the general (singlet) case in terms of an infinite triangular matrix of anomalous dimensions which couple each tru...
متن کاملSolving the Altarelli-Parisi equations with truncated moments
The technique of truncated moments of parton distributions allows us to study scaling violations without making any assumption on the shape of parton distributions. The numerical implementation of the method is however difficult, since the evolution equations for truncated moments are not diagonal. We present a simple way to improve the efficiency of the numerical solution of the evolution equa...
متن کاملTruncated moments of parton distributions
We derive evolution equations satisfied by moments of parton distributions when the integration over the Bjorken variable is restricted to a subset (x0 ≤ x ≤ 1) of the allowed kinematical range 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. The corresponding anomalous dimensions turn out to be given by a triangular matrix which couples the N–th truncated moment with all (N+K)–th truncated moments with integer K ≥ 0. We show that ...
متن کاملEfficient evolution of unpolarized and polarized parton distributions with QCD-Pegasus
The Fortran package QCD-Pegasus is presented. This program provides fast, flexible and accurate solutions of the evolution equations for unpolarized and polarized parton distributions of hadrons in perturbative QCD. The evolution is performed using the symbolic moment-space solutions on a one-fits-all Mellin inversion contour. User options include the order of the evolution including the next-t...
متن کاملOn “dual” parametrizations of generalized parton distributions
We propose a parametrization for the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) which is based on representation of parton distributions as an infinite series of tchannel exchanges. The entire generalized parton distribution is given as an infinite sum over contributions of generalized light-cone distribution amplitudes in the tchannel. We also discuss the relations of the lowest Mellin moments of...
