چکیده

We compute quark structure functions and the intrinsic Fock space distribution of sea quarks in a hadron wavefunction at small x. The computation is performed in an effective theory at small x where the gluon field is treated classically. At Q2 large compared to an intrinsic scale associated with the density of gluons μ2, large compared to the QCD scale ΛQCD, and large compared to the quark mass squared M2, the Fock space distribution of quarks is identical to the distribution function measured in deep inelastic scattering. For Q2 ≤ M2 but Q2 >> μ2, the quark distribution is computed in terms of the gluon distribution function and explicit expressions are obtained. For Q2 ≤ μ2 but Q2 >> ΛQCD we obtain formal expressions for the quark distribution functions in terms of the glue. An evaluation

Exploring Skewed Parton Distributions with Two-body Models on the Light Front: bimodality

We explore skewed parton distributions for simple, model wave-functions in a truncated two-body Fock space. Consideration of non-Gaussian wave functions is our main emphasis, from which we observe the distributions are bimodal (there can be two distinct peaks) in the Fock-space diagonal overlap region (x > ξ). We demonstrate that this behavior arises from convoluting two light-front wave functi...

Classical methods in DIS and nuclear scattering at small x

In hadrons and nuclei at very small x, parton distributions saturate at a scale Qs(x). Since the occupation number is large, and Qs(x) >> ΛQCD, classical weak coupling methods may be used to study this novel regime of non–linear classical fields in QCD. In these lectures, we apply these methods to compute structure functions in deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) and the energy density of gluons ...

Experimental data on the F2 structure functions of the proton and deuteron, including recent results from CLAS at Jefferson Lab, have been used to construct their n ≤ 12 moments. A comprehensive analysis of the moments in terms of the operator product expansion has been performed to separate the moments into leading and higher twist contributions. Particular attention was paid to the issue of n...

Quantum Supersymmetric Ghosts

We work out the quantization of the massless vector field by introducing quantum supersymmetric ghosts. We prove positivity in the physical Fock space. 1 The standard Hilbert space of N=1 supersymmetric test functions The reason for writting a paper on well known items in the vast literature on supersymmetries is the existence of a positivity (unitarity) structure of the N=1 superspace which wa...
