T-odd Transverse Momentum Distributions in Quark Models

چکیده

We present a general formalism for the evaluation of time-reversal odd parton distributions. This formalism is applied to the evaluation of the two T-odd TMDs allowed at the twist-2 level, i.e., the Sivers and the Boer-Mulders functions. We have performed the calculation for two different models of proton structure: a non relativistic constituent quark model and the MIT bag model. The results obtained in both models are compared. So are the two T-odd functions. We comment on the fulfilment of the Burkardt sum rule as well as on the current status of T-odd TMDs in phenomenology.

Chiral-odd generalized parton distributions in constituent quark models

We derive the overlap representation of chiral-odd generalized parton distributions using the Fock-state decomposition in the transverse-spin basis. This formalism is applied to the case of light-cone wave functions in a constituent quark model. Numerical results for the four chiral-odd generalized parton distributions at the hadronic scale are shown in different kinematics. In the forward limi...

Gpd's and Ssa's

Generalized parton distributions involving transverse polarization are transversely deformed. The deformation of chirally odd GPDs is related to a transversity decomposition of the quark angular momentum. Potential consequences for T-odd single-spin asymmetries (Sivers and Boer-Mulders effects) are discussed.

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...

Longitudinal and Transverse Parton Momentum Distributions for Hadrons within Relativistic Constituent Quark Models

Longitudinal and transverse parton distributions for pion and nucleon are calculated from hadron vertexes obtained by a study of form factors within relativistic quark models. The relevance of the one-gluon-exchange dominance at short range for the behavior of the form factors at large momentum transfer and of the parton distributions at the end points is stressed.

Initial - State Interactions in the Unpolarized

We show that initial-state interactions contribute to the cos 2φ distribution in unpolarized Drell-Yan lepton pair production p p and p p → l+l−X, without suppression. The asymmetry is expressed as a product of chiral-odd distributions h1 (x1,p 2 ⊥) × h ⊥ 1 (x2,k 2 ⊥), where the quark-transversity function h1 (x,p 2 ⊥) is the transverse momentum dependent, light-cone momentum distribution of tr...
