fragments

Parton cross-section:
From which we find:
longitudinal cross-section
THE LONGITUDINAL STRUCTURE FUNCTION (CROSS-SECTION)IS ZERO FOR HELICITY CONSERVATION:
pi=(Q/2,Q/2,0,0)
pf =(Q/2,-Q/2,0,0)
q=(0,-Q,0,0)
massless spin 1/2 partons
= helicity
longitudinallypolarized photon
spinless partons would give Ftransverse=0

From neutrino-antineutrino cross-sectionwe can distinguish quarks from antiquarks
Parton Model and QCD
q + q´for simplicity let us consider first only the non-singletcase, namely
q + q´ + g
Parton Model and QCD
is a cutoff necessary toregularize collinear divergences
Effective quark distribution
Classic Interpretation
p = z P
z´=(x/z)p = x P
dW is the probability of finding a quark with a fraction x/z of its``parent” quark and a given k2
T<<Q2
The total probability (up to non leading logarithms) is

Solution
It will be shown later as q(n,t0 ) can be related to hadronic matrix elements of local operators which can computed in lattice QCD
GLUON CONTRIBUTION TO THE STRUCTURE FUNCTIONS
THE GLUON DISTRIBUTION IS DIFFICULT TO MEASURE BECAUSE IT ENTERS ONLY AT ORDER

NEXT-TO-LEADING CORRECTIONS TO THE STRUCTURE FUNCTIONS
IN THE NAÏVE PARTON MODEL
F3(x) = q(x) - q(x) ˜ qV(x)
IN THE LEADING LOG IMPROVED PARTON MODEL
F3(x Q2) = q(x,Q2) - q(x, Q2) ˜ qV(x, Q2)

The Operator Product Expansion
The term at x0 < 0 does not contribute because cannot satisfy the 4-momentum -function
Neglecting the light quark mass (up to a factor i):
the covariant derivative corresponds tomomenta of
order QCD
the covariant derivative corresponds tolarge momenta of order
q >> MN, QCD
Thus, a part a trivial Lorentz structure, we have to compute
