AI总结:

本文基于低能质子光锥波函数构建BK演化方程的初始条件,通过拟合耦合常数较好描述了HERA的粲截面数据,但拟合优度表明仍需系统性改进。

摘要:

在平均场近似下,小偶极在高能下的前向散射振幅由Balitsky-Kovchegov(BK)演化方程给出。该方程需要一个初始条件 $N(r; x_0)$,用于描述大小为 $r$ 的偶极与在动量分数 $x_0$ 处被探测的靶发生散射的过程。我们没有使用在 $x\ll x_0$ 的高能数据上调整的特设参数化,而是尝试构建一个与质子的低能、大 $x$ 性质相一致的初始散射振幅。我们从文献中的非微扰三夸克光锥模型波函数出发。我们加入了由于发射一个胶子而产生的 ${\cal O}(g)$ 阶修正,以及由于交换一个胶子而产生的 ${\cal O}(g^2)$ 阶虚修正,这些修正在具有精确运动学的光锥微扰理论中计算得出。我们提供了 $x_0=0.01 - 0.05$ 时所得 $N(r; x_0)$ 的数值数据以及解析参数化。在领头对数(LL)近似下向更低 $x$ 求解BK方程,通过拟合一个参数即耦合常数 $α_s\simeq 0.2$,我们较好地描述了HERA实验中测量到的深度非弹性散射中的粲截面。然而,由于无法在 $x_0$ 处调整初始振幅,对高精度数据的拟合结果为 $χ^2/N_\text{dof} = 2.3$($N_\text{dof} =38$),这提供了明确的统计证据,表明需要进行系统性改进,例如对光子波函数、演化方程和初始条件的改进。

英文摘要:

The forward scattering amplitude of a small dipole at high energies is given in the mean field approximation by the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) evolution equation. It requires an initial condition $N(r; x_0)$ describing the scattering of a dipole with size $r$ off the target that is probed at momentum fraction $x_0$. Rather than using ad hoc parameterizations tuned to high-energy data at $x\ll x_0$, here we attempt to construct an initial scattering amplitude that is consistent with low-energy, large-$x$ properties of the proton. We start from a non-perturbative three quark light-cone model wave function from the literature. We add ${\cal O}(g)$ corrections due to the emission of a gluon, and ${\cal O}(g^2)$ virtual corrections due to the exchange of a gluon, computed in light-cone perturbation theory with exact kinematics. We provide numerical data as well as analytic parameterizations of the resulting $N(r; x_0)$ for $x_0=0.01 - 0.05$. Solving the BK equation in the leading logarithmic (LL) approximation towards lower $x$, we obtain a fair description of the charm cross section in deeply inelastic scattering measured at HERA by fitting one parameter, the coupling constant $α_s\simeq 0.2$. However, without the option to tune the initial amplitude at $x_0$, the fit of the high precision data results in $χ^2/N_\text{dof} = 2.3$ at $N_\text{dof} =38$, providing clear statistical evidence for the need of systematic improvement e.g. of the photon wave function, evolution equation, and initial condition.
