Parton Distributions in Impact Parameter Space
نویسنده
چکیده
Parton distributions in impact parameter space, which are obtained by Fourier transforming GPDs, exhibit a significant deviation from axial symmetry when the target and/or quark is transversely polarized. In combination with the final state interactions, this transverse deformation provides a natural mechanism for naive-T odd transverse single-spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive DIS. The deformation can also be related to the transverse force acting on the active quark in polarized DIS at higher twist.

Generalized parton distributions in impact parameter space
We study generalized parton distributions in the impact parameter representation, including the case of nonzero skewness ξ. Using Lorentz invariance, and expressing parton distributions in terms of impact parameter dependent wave functions, we investigate in which way they simultaneously describe longitudinal and transverse structure of a fast moving hadron. We compare this information with the...
متن کاملSivers Asymmetry and Generalized Parton Distributions in Impact Parameter Space
Recently, it has been pointed out that there exists a connection between the generalized parton distribution E(x, 0, t) and the Sivers asymmetry. For transversely polarized nucleon targets, generalized parton distributions are asymmetric in impact parameter space. This impact parameter space asymmetry, together with the final state interaction of the active quark, gives rise to the Sivers asymm...

متن کاملImpact Parameter Dependent Parton Distributions for a Relativistic Composite System
We investigate the impact parameter dependent parton distributions for a relativistic composite system in light-front framework. We express them in terms of overlaps of light-cone wave functions for a self consistent two-body spin-1/2 state, namely an electron dressed with a photon in QED. The pdfs are distorted in the transverse space for transverse polarization of the state at one loop level.
متن کاملUnintegrated CCFM parton distributions and transverse momentum of gauge bosons
Transverse momentum distribution of gauge bosons W± and Z is calculated using unintegrated parton distributions obtained by solving leading order CCFM equation(s) in the impact parameter space. For illustration we compare the results of the fixed-order collinear, softgluon resummation and CCFM approaches. A parameter of a nonperturbative form factor is adjusted to the D0 data. In contrast to th...
