Bounds on Transverse Momentum Dependent Distribution Functions

چکیده

Here, P and S denote the parent hadron momentum and spin, and the relevant component of the quark momentum is x = p/P, the light-cone momentum fraction. The components a = a · n∓ stem from vectors n+ and n−, satisfying n2+ = n 2 − = 0 and n+ ·n− = 1, which are fixed by the momentum that introduces the large scaleQ, together with a (soft) hadron momentum. When only the leading part in orders of 1/Q is considered, just the Φγ part of the correlator suffices. This part is usually parametrized in terms of the following quark distribution functions [5]

Bounds on transverse momentum dependent distribution and fragmentation functions

We give bounds on the distribution and fragmentation functions that appear at leading order in deep inelastic one-particle inclusive leptoproduction or in Drell-Yan processes. These bounds simply follow from positivity of the defining matrix elements and are an important guidance in estimating the magnitude of the azimuthal and spin asymmetries in these processes.

Spin densities in the transverse plane and generalized transversity distributions

We show how generalized quark distributions in the nucleon describe the density of polarized quarks in the impact parameter plane, both for longitudinal and transverse polarization of the quark and the nucleon. This density representation entails positivity bounds including chiral-odd distributions, which tighten the known bounds in the chiral-even sector. Using the quark equations of motion, w...

VUTH 99-25 Bounds on transverse momentum dependent distribution and fragmentation functions

In deep-inelastic processes the transition from hadrons to quarks and gluons is described in terms of distribution and fragmentation functions. For instance, at leading order in the inverse hard scale 1/Q, the cross section for inclusive electroproduction e−H → e−X is given as a charge squared weighted sum over quark distribution functions, which describe the probability of finding quarks in ha...

Transversity of Quarks and Nucleons in Sidis and Drell Yan

One of the persistent challenges confronting the QCD parton model is the explanation of the significant azimuthal and single spin asymmetries that emerge in inclusive and semi-inclusive processes . Going beyond the collinear approximation in PQCD recent progress has been achieved in characterizing these asymmetries in terms of absorptive scattering . Such asymmetries involve time-reversal-odd (...

Transverse momentum dependent quark densities from Lattice QCD

We study transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) with non-local operators in lattice QCD, using MILC/LHPC lattices. We discuss the basic concepts of the method, including renormalization of the gauge link. Results obtained with a simplified operator geometry show visible dipole deformations of spin-dependent quark momentum densities.
