THE MESON DISTRIBUTION AMPLITUDE OF EXCLUSIVE PROCESSES IN QCD

The behavior of the meson distribution amplitude is discussed through a phenomenological analysis of some exclusive processes in QCD.It is found that the pionicdistribution anplitirde at moderate energies is much broader than its asymptotic form and the broad distribution amplitude has to suppress the endpoint contribution to the process in order that the perturbative QCD contribution is dominant.In addition,a possible meson distribution amp1itude,which is a generalization of the harmonic oscillator model,is proposed.The results are compatible with experimental data.     

Pion Distribution Amplitude from the Lattice

Results for the second moment of the pion distribution amplitude in quenched QCD are reported, and compared with other QCD-based predictions as well as experimental determinations. A broad agreement is found, which calls for a more precise lattice computation.     

On Higgs Boson Production via Gluon Fusion

A simple phenomenological formula for the gluon distribution function in a proton is proposed. The reported results of calculations of the cross section of Higgs boson production via gluon fusion with higher-order QCD radiative corrections are reproduced using this formula and the one-loop amplitude.     

Renormalization-group evolution of the B-meson light-cone distribution amplitude

An integro-differential equation governing the evolution of the leading-order B-meson light-cone distribution amplitude is derived. The anomalous dimension in this equation contains a logarithm of the renormalization scale, whose coefficient is identified with the cusp anomalous dimension of Wilson loops. The exact solution of the evolution equation is obtained, from which the asymptotic behavior of the distribution amplitude is derived. These results can be used to resum Sudakov logarithms entering the hard-scattering kernels in QCD factorization theorems for exclusive B decays.     

Power corrections to the process \gamma\gamma^*\rightarrow \pi\pi in the light-cone sum rules approach

We applied QCD light-cone sum rules to estimate power corrections to the helicity-conserving amplitude in the process . We found that above GeV power corrections are numerically small and the twist-2 part dominates.The amplitude can be reliably calculated in this region using models of distribution amplitudes as input. We found that the magnitude of the NLO corrections depends rather strongly on the normalization of the gluonic distribution amplitude.     

Self-consistent Gaussian model of nonperturbative QCD vacuum

We show that the minimal Gaussian model of nonlocal vacuum quark and quark-gluon condensates in QCD violates the transverse character of the correlator of two vector currents. We suggest the improved Gaussian model of the nonperturbative QCD vacuum, which respects QCD equations of motion and minimizes the revealed gauge-invariance breakdown. We obtain the refined values of pion distribution amplitude (DA) conformal moments 〈ξ^2N 〉_π (N = 1, ..., 5) using the improved QCD vacuum model, including the inverse moment 〈x ^?1〉_π, being inaccessible if one uses the standard QCD SR. We construct the allowed region for Gegenbauer coefficients a ₂ and a ₄ of the pion DA for two values of the QCD vacuum nonlocality parameter, λ _q ² = 0.4 and 0.5 GeV².     

Bc（B）→DIv^- Form Factors in Light-Cone Sum Rules and the D-Meson Distribution Amplitude

We calculate the weak form factors of the decays Be（B） → Dlv^- by using the chiral current correlator within the framework of the QCD light-cone sum rules （LCSRs）. The expressions of the form factors only depend on the leading twist distribution amplitude （DA） of the D meson. Three models of the D-meson distribution amplitude are employed. Our prediction, by using the D-meson distribution amplitude with the exponential suppression at the end points, favours the three-points sum rule （3PSR） approach with the Coulomb corrections included, and is compatible with other approaches.     

Vector meson electroproduction at next-to-leading order

The process of light neutral vector meson electroproduction is studied in the framework of QCD factorization in which the amplitude factorizes in a convolution of the nonperturbative meson distribution amplitude and generalized parton densities with perturbatively calculable hard-scattering amplitudes. We derive a complete set of hard-scattering amplitudes at next-to-leading order (NLO) for the production of vector mesons, V=ρ⁰, ω, ?.     

Veneziano-like amplitude as a test for AdS/QCD models

The high energy asymptotics of QCD correlation functions is often used as a test for bottom-up holographic models. Since QCD is not strongly coupled in the ultraviolet domain, such a test may look questionable. We propose that the sum over resonance poles emerging in correlators of a bottom-up model should reproduce the structure of a Veneziano-like amplitude at zero momentum transfer assuming equivalence of spin and radial states in the latter. This requires a five-dimensional background that suppresses the ultraviolet part in the effective action of a model. We give examples of emerging low-energy holographic models.     

The annihilation of virtual photons into pseudoscalar mesons

We investigate the possibility to constrain the pion distribution amplitude from the transition. For a surprisingly large range in the two photon virtualities we find that the transition form factor is essentially independent of the distribution amplitude. This in turn entails a parameter-free prediction of QCD. The form factors are also briefly discussed. We estimate that experimental studies might be feasible at the existing experiments BaBar, Belle, and CLEO. Received: 30 August 2001 / Published online: 23 November 2001     

On the applicability of perturbative QCD to exclusive processes at currently available momentum transfer

We re-examine the problems connected with the end-point dominance in the calculation of exclusive processes in perturbative QCD. In a re-analysis we construct nucleon quark distribution amplitudes from the respective moments obtained from a QCD sum rule approach. These functions lead to acceptable values for the e.m. Dirac form factorsF ₁ ^p,n of the nucleon if effective gluon masses of ca. 300–600 MeV are included into the hard-scattering amplitude. In addition we also find a reasonable Q₂ — dependence of the proton form factor. The results point at the importance of the end-point k-dependence of distribution amplitude and hard-scattering amplitude in the calculation of exclusive processes.Work is supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Ga 153-13-1) and partially by NATO (0581/87)     

通过基矢光前量子化方法研究K介子

为研究K介子的性质,通过基矢光前量子化(BLFQ)方法获得K介子的光前波函数(LFWF)。使用的光前哈密顿量中包含了动能项、横向与纵向禁闭势以及夸克-胶子相互作用,其中横向禁闭势借鉴了光前全息量子色动力学(LFHQCD)模型的禁闭势。基矢空间包括领头阶与次领头阶的Fock空间。在前期工作的基础上,只引入了奇异夸克的质量作为唯一额外参数,使K>介子的质量与实验值相匹配。基于K介子领头阶Fock空间的LFWF,计算了K介子的部分子分布振幅(PDA),其结果与量子色动力学(QCD)微扰论在零夸克质量近似下计算的结果相近。本工作得到的K介子的电磁形状因子(FF)与欧洲核子中心(CERN)超级质子同步加速器 (SPS)以及费米国家加速器实验室(FNAL)的实验结果一致。从领头阶Fock空间的LFWF计算出的电磁半径与粒子物理数据表(PDG)的实验值相近。计算出的K介子部分子分布函数(PDF),QCD演化后,在实验能标下的K介子和$ \pi $介子中价夸克u的PDF之比与CERN-NA-003的实验数据在整体趋势上大体相符。此外,在计算出的K介子PDF中,价夸克携带的纵向动量之比,$ \langle x_{uv}\rangle/\langle x_{sv}\rangle $,约为$ 2/3 $,这个数值与Bethe-Salpeter equation(BSE)模型以及密西根州立大学格点QCD(MSULat)模型的计算结果相近。还计算了K介子的结构函数,发现与BLFQ考虑有效 Nambu–Jona-Lasinio相互作用(BLFQ-NJL)模型的结果有显著差别。K介子的结构函数有望在将来的电子离子对撞机(EIC)实验中得到观测与检验。     

Heavy-to-light transition form factors and their relations in light-cone QCD sum rules

The light-cone QCD sum rules approach improved by using the chiral current correlator is systematically reviewed and applied to the calculation of all the heavy-to-light form factors, including all the semileptonic and penguin ones. By choosing suitable chiral currents, the light-cone sum rules for all the form factors are greatly simplified and depend mainly on one leading-twist distribution amplitude of the light meson. As a result, relations between these form factors arise naturally. At the considered accuracy, these relations reproduce the results obtained in the literature. Moreover, since the explicit dependence on the leading-twist distribution amplitudes is preserved, these relations may be more useful to simulate the experimental data and extract information on the distribution amplitude.     

强子物质中的介子-介子散射(英文)

建立了一个夸克交换模型和提出了一个夸克-反夸克湮灭模型来研究介子-介子散射。从量子色动力学我们得到一个依赖于温度的夸克作用势。从微扰量子色动力学推导对应于夸克-反夸克湮灭和产生的跃迁势。模型给出基态介子质量的实验值,并且在玻恩近似下能说明真空中阈能附近的π-π弹性散射相移的实验值。从S矩阵元出发,推导散射的跃迁振幅和截面公式。计算出涉及π,ρ,K,K*的反应的非极化截面。发现这些截面具有强烈的温度依赖性。We have established a quark-interchange model and have proposed a quark-antiquark annihilation model to study meson-meson scattering. From QCD we obtain a temperature-dependent quark potential. The transition potential corresponding to quark-antiquark annihilation and creation is derived in perturbative QCD. The experimental ground-state meson masses are reproduced and the experimental data of elastic phase shifts for ππ scattering near the threshold energy in vacuum can be accounted for in the Born approximation. Starting from S-matrix element, we derive the transition amplitude and the cross section for the scattering. Unpolarised cross sections for reactions involving π, ρ, K and K* are calculated. Remarkable temperature dependence of the cross sections is found.     

Two-loop QCD amplitude for gg-->h, H in the minimal supersymmetric standard model

We present the two-loop QCD amplitude for the interaction of two gluons and a CP-even Higgs boson in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We apply a novel numerical method for the evaluation of Feynman diagrams with infrared, ultraviolet, and threshold singularities. We discuss subtleties in the ultraviolet renormalization of the amplitude with conventional dimensional regularization, dimensional reduction, and the four dimensional helicity scheme. Finally, we show numerical results for scenarios of supersymmetry breaking with a rather challenging phenomenology in which the Higgs signal in the MSSM is suppressed in comparison to the standard model.     

Improved calculations of quark distributions in hadrons: the case of the pion

The earlier introduced method of calculation of quark distributions in hadrons, based on QCD sum rules, is improved. The imaginary part of the virtual photon forward scattering amplitude on some hadronic current is considered in the case, when initial and final virtualities of the current , and are different, . The operator product expansion (OPE) in , is performed. The sum rule for quark distribution is obtained using double dispersion representation of the amplitude on one side in terms of calculated in QCD OPE and on the other side in terms of physical states contributions. Double Borel transformation in , is applied to the sum rule, killing background non-diagonal transition terms which deteriorated the accuracy in previous calculations. The case of the valence quark distribution in the pion is considered, which was impossible to treat by the previous method. OPE up to dimension 6 operators is performed and leading order perturbative corrections are accounted. Valence u-quark distribution in was found at intermediate x, , and normalization point . These results may be used as input for evolution equations. Received: 14 July 1999 / Published online: 6 March 2000     

Hard exclusive meson production and nonforward parton distributions

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. The corresponding QCD evolution equations are solved in the leading logarithmic approximation for flavor nonsinglet distributions. We derive explicit expressions for hard exclusive , , and neutral vector meson production amplitudes and discuss general features of the corresponding cross sections.

SYNTHESIS OF PERTURBATIVE AND NONPERTURBATIVE QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS

Hadronic structure in QCD has been analyzed by using the Fock state wavefunctions of hadrons defined by quantizing quantum chromodynaraics at equal time of the light-cone. They provide a unified approach to QCD phenomenology. We have presented a convenient method for operator product expansion in the external background fields and have obtained the distributior: amplitude moments values from QCD sum rule by introdution the condensate effect of quarks and gluons. These results are in agreement with the present data.
