Dynamical parton distribution functions
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent measurements for F2(x, Q ) have been analyzed in terms of the ‘dynamical’ and ‘standard’ parton model approach at NLO and NNLO of perturbative QCD. Having fixed the relevant NLO and NNLO parton distributions, the implications and predictions for the longitudinal structure function FL(x,Q ) are presented. It is shown that the previously noted extreme perturbative NNLO/NLO instability of FL(x, Q ) is an artifact of the commonly utilized ‘standard’ gluon distributions. In particular it is demonstrated that using the appropriate – dynamically generated – parton distributions at NLO and NNLO, FL(x,Q ) turns out to be perturbatively rather stable already for Q ≥ O (2− 3 GeV).

Nucleon parton distributions in the large N c limit ∗
We review recent progress in calculating the twist–2 parton distribution functions (PDF's) at a low normalization point in the large–N c limit, where the nucleon can be described as a soliton of the effective chiral lagrangian. This field–theoretic approach preserves all general requirements on the PDF's (positivity, normalization etc.). In particular, it allows to calculate the polarized and u...
متن کامل2 00 4 Double parton correlations versus factorized distributions
Using the generalized Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi-Dokshitzer equations for the two-parton distribution functions we show numerically that the dynamical correlations contribute to these functions quite a lot in comparison with the factorized components. At the scale of CDF hard process (∼ 5 GeV) this contribution to the double gluon-gluon distribution is nearly 10% and increases right up to 30% at ...
متن کاملCrossing Heavy-Flavour Thresholds in Fragmentation Functions
In analogy with parton distribution functions, also parton fragmentation functions obey matching conditions when crossing heavy-flavour thresholds. We compute these matching conditions at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant αS in the MS scheme. Our results can be used for the dynamical generation of the heavy-flavour component in next-to-leading order fits to light-hadrons fra...
متن کاملSelf-consistent calculation of parton distributions at low normalization point in the chiral quark–soliton model
We calculate the isosinglet unpolarized quark– and antiquark distributions at a low normalization point in the large–Nc limit. The nucleon is described as a selfconsistent soliton solution of the effective chiral theory. The ultraviolet cutoff is implemented by a Pauli–Villars subtraction. The quark and antiquark distributions satisfy the momentum as well as the baryon number sum rule, correspo...
متن کاملDynamical Parton Distributions at NNLO
Utilizing recent DIS measurements and Drell-Yan data we determine at NNLO (3-loop) of QCD the dynamical parton distribution functions of the nucleon generated radiatively from valence– like positive input distributions at an optimally chosen low resolution scale. These are compared with " standard " NNLO distributions generated from positive input distributions at some fixed and higher resoluti...
