Helicity Flip in Diffractive Dis
نویسنده
چکیده
I review new results on s-channel helicity nonconservation (SCHNC) in diffractive DIS. I discuss how by virtue of unitarity diffractive DIS gives rise to spin structure functions which were believed to vanish at x ≪ 1. These include tensor polarization of sea quarks in the deuteron, strong breaking of the Wandzura-Wilczek relation and demise of the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule.

Impact of Saturation on S-channel Helicity Nonconservation for Diffractive Vector Mesons
As Glauber has shown in 1959, the spin-flip phenomena caused by the conventional spin-orbit interaction do vanish in the scattering off heavy, strongly absorbing nuclei. On the other hard,the origin of the s-channel helicity nonconservation (SCHNC) in diffractive DIS is of the origin different from simple spin-orbit interaction, and here we demonstrate that SCHNC in vector meson production surv...
متن کاملSpin dependence of diffractive DIS
The motto of high energy QCD is the quark helicity conservation which is often believed to entail the s-channel helicity conservation (SCHC) at small x. Here I review the recent work ([ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], which shows this belief is groundless and there is an extremely rich helicity-flip physics at small x. The backbone of DIS is the Compton scattering (CS) γ μp → γ ∗ ′ ν p , which at small-x can b...
متن کاملQuark Helicity Flip and the Transverse Spin Dependence of Inclusive Dis *
Inclusive DIS with unpolarized beam exhibits a subtle dependence on the transverse target spin, arising from the interference of one–photon and two–photon exchange amplitudes in the cross section. We argue that this observable probes mainly the quark helicity–flip amplitudes induced by the non-perturbative vacuum structure of QCD (spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking). This conjecture is based ...
متن کاملDiffractive production of S and D wave vector mesons in Deep Inelastic Scattering
In this work the production of vector mesons in diffractive DIS is analyzed, with an emphasis on the impact of the internal spin structure of a vector meson upon its virtual photoproduction rate. For the first time, the full sets of s-channel helicity conserving and violating amplitudes were derived for pure S and D wave vector mesons. In the course of analytical and numerical investigation, we...
متن کاملSpin Dependence of Diffractive Vector Meson Production
I review the recent progress in the theory of s-channel helicity nonconservation (SCHNC) effects in diffractive DIS. SCHNC in diffractive vector meson production is an unique probe of the spin-orbit coupling and Fermi motion of quarks in vector mesons. Photoand electroproduction of the φ and its radial and angular excitations at Jlab is perfectly posed to probe SCHNC in QCD pomeron exchange. I ...
