Hard Exclusive Production of Tensor Mesons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We point out that hard exclusive production of tensor mesons f 2 (1270) with helicity λ = ±2 is dominated by the gluon component in the meson wave function and can be used to determine gluon admixture in tensor mesons in a theoretically clean manner. We present a detailed analysis of the tensor meson distribution amplitudes and calculate the transition form factor γ + γ * → f 2 (1270) for one real and one virtual photon.

Exotic hybrid mesons in hard electroproduction
We estimate the sizeable cross section for deep exclusive electroproduction of an exotic J = 1 hybrid meson in the Bjorken regime. The production amplitude scales like the one for usual meson electroproduction, i.e. as 1/Q. This is due to the non-vanishing leading twist distribution amplitude for the hybrid meson, which may be normalized thanks to its relation to the energy momentum tensor and ...

We present an analysis of twist-2, leading order QCD amplitudes for hard exclusive leptoproduction of mesons in terms of double/nonforward parton distribution functions. After reviewing some general features of nonforward nucleon matrix elements of twist-2 QCD string operators, we propose a phenomenological model for quark and gluon nonforward distribution functions of nucleons. The correspondi...

متن کاملFactorization for hard exclusive electroproduction of mesons in QCD
We formulate and prove a QCD factorization theorem for hard exclusive electroproduction of mesons in QCD. The proof is valid for the leading power in Q and all logarithms. This generalizes previous work on vector meson production in the diffractive region of small x. The amplitude is expressed in terms of off-diagonal generalizations of the usual parton densities. The full theorem applies to al...
