Exploring Skewed Parton Distributions with Two-body Models on the Light Front: bimodality
نویسنده
چکیده
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 functions to form the skewed parton distribution. Furthermore, the factorization Ansätze, which have been used often, are shown not to hold. At high t, we can write the skewed parton distribution in terms of quark distribution amplitudes and perturbative wave functions thereby providing new tests.

متن کاملExploring Skewed Parton Distributions with Two-body Models on the Light Front II: covariant Bethe-Salpeter approach
We explore skewed parton distributions for two-body, light-front wave-functions. In order to access all kinematical régimes, we adopt a covariant Bethe-Salpeter approach, which makes use of the underlying equation of motion (here the Weinberg equation) and its Green’s function. Such an approach allows for the consistent treatment of the non-wave function vertex (but rules out phenomenological w...
متن کاملSkewed parton distributions and the scale dependence of the transverse size parameter
We discuss the scale dependence of a skewed parton distribution of the pion obtained from a generalized light-cone wave function overlap formula. Using a simple ansatz for the transverse momentum dependence of the light-cone wave function and restricting ourselves to the case of a zero skewedness parameter the skewed parton distribution can be expressed through an ordinary parton distribution m...
متن کاملLight-Front Dynamics and Generalized Parton Distributions
High energy reactions necessarily involve large momentum transfer to the target’s constituents, which thus rebound near light speed. The experimentally observed correlation between initial and final states measures the system’s response along the light cone. A convenient theoretical description of such reactions is light-front dynamics where the properties of physical states are described along...
متن کاملExploring Skewed Parton Distributions with Polarized Targets
I brie y review the physics of skewed parton distributions. Special emphasis is put on the relevance of target polarization, and on the di erent roles of small and of intermediate xB. 1 The physics of skewed parton distributions In recent years much progress has been made in the theory of skewed parton distributions (SPDs). Unifying the concepts of parton distributions and of hadronic form fact...
