Modelling quark distribution and fragmentation functions
The representation of quark distribution and fragmentation functions in terms of nonlocal operators is combined with a simple spectator model. This allows us to estimate these functions for the nucleon and the pion ensuring correct crossing and support properties. We give estimates for the unpolarized functions as well as for the polarized ones and for subleading (higher twist) functions. Furth...
متن کاملModelling distribution functions and fragmentation functions
We present examples for the calculation of the distribution and fragmentation functions using the representation in terms of non-local matrix elements of quark field operators. As specific examples, we use a simple spectator model to estimate the leading twist quark distribution functions and the fragmentation functions for a quark into a nucleon or a pion.
متن کاملNovel quark fragmentation functions and the nucleon's transversity distribution.
We define twist-two and twist-three quark fragmentation functions in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and study their physical implications. Using this formalism we show how the nucleon’s transversity distribution can be measured in single pion inclusive electroproduction. ⋆ Supported in part by funds provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (D.O.E.) under contract #DE-AC02-76ER03069, and in part ...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF QUARK POLARIZATION IN HEAVY QUARK FRAGMENTATION
We calculate the exact fragmentation functions for c and b quark fragmentation taking into account the spin orientation of the initial heavy quark in the form of analytical and rather simple expressions. Our calculations show that spin orientation may have an important effect on the fragmentation spectrum. This effect is more striking in the cases of c ?D, D*; c? ? , ? , and ?B , B *.
متن کاملHeavy quark fragmentation functions in the heavy quark effective theory.
We calculate fragmentation functions for a b-quark to fragment into color-singlet P-wave bound states c̄b in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory with the exact account of O(1/mb) corrections. We demonstrate an agreement of the obtained results with the corresponding calculations carried out in quantum chromodynamics. Introduction. The study of heavy quarkonia properties is a subject of much current...
