夸克螺旋度翻转和包含DIS的横自旋依赖性

Quark helicity flip and the transverse spin dependence of inclusive DIS

A. Afanasev, M. Strikman, C. Weiss

摘要:

非偏振态的双光子干涉显示出对横向自旋的微妙依赖性,这是由截面中单光子和双光子交换振幅的干涉引起的。我们认为,这一可观测的探针主要是夸克螺旋翻转振幅引起的非微扰真空结构的QCD(自发手征对称性破缺)。这一猜想的依据是:(a)如果夸克子过程中的软胶子发射受到手征对称性破缺标度μ_手征^[2]> λ_量子色动力学^[2]的限制,那么螺旋度翻转过程就不会受到显著的苏达科夫抑制;(b)夸克螺旋度守恒的扭转3贡献很小的预期。在计划进行的杰斐逊实验室A厅实验的运动学中,正常目标自旋不对称性估计为10^{-4}量级。

英文摘要:

Inclusive DIS with unpolarized beam exhibits a subtle dependence on the transverse target spin, arising from the interference of one-photon and two-photon exchange amplitudes in the cross section. We argue that this observable probes mainly the quark helicity-flip amplitudes induced by the non-perturbative vacuum structure of QCD (spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking). This conjecture is based on (a) the absence of significant Sudakov suppression of the helicity-flip process if soft gluon emission in the quark subprocess is limited by the chiral symmetry-breaking scale mu_chiral^2 >> Lambda_QCD^2; (b) the expectation that the quark helicity-conserving twist-3 contribution is small. The normal target spin asymmetry is estimated to be of the order 10^{-4} in the kinematics of the planned Jefferson Lab Hall A experiment.
