Double parton distributions in the pion in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model
2019
Two-parton correlations in the pion, a non perturbative information encoded in double parton distribution functions, are investigated in the Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model. It is found that double parton distribution functions expose novel dynamical information on the structure of the pion, not accessible through one-body parton distributions, as it happens in several estimates for the proton target and in a previous evaluation for the pion, in a light-cone framework. Expressions and predictions are given for double parton distributions corresponding to leading-twist Dirac operators in the quark vertices, and to different regularization methods for the Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model. These resu…
Analyzing the Boer-Mulders function within different quark models
2009
A general formalism for the evaluation of time reversal odd parton distributions is applied here to calculate the Boer-Mulders function. The same formalism when applied to evaluate the Sivers function led to results which fulfill the Burkardt sum rule quite well. The calculation here has been performed for two different models of proton structure: a constituent quark model and the MIT bag model. In the latter case, important differences are found with respect to a previous evaluation in the same framework, a feature already encountered in the calculation of the Sivers function. The results obtained are consistent with the present wisdom, i.e., the contributions for the $u$ and $d$ flavors t…
A Quark model analysis of the Sivers function.
2008
We develop a formalism to evaluate the Sivers function. The approach is well suited for calculations which use constituent quark models to describe the structure of the nucleon. A non-relativistic reduction of the scheme is performed and applied to the Isgur-Karl model of hadron structure. The results obtained are consistent with a sizable Sivers effect and the signs for the u and d flavor contributions turn out to be opposite. This pattern is in agreement with the one found analyzing, in the same model, the impact parameter dependent generalized parton distributions. The Burkardt Sum Rule turns out to be fulfilled to a large extent. We estimate the QCD evolution of our results from the mom…

Enhancement effects in exclusive pi pi production in gamma* gamma scattering
2009
The exclusive pi pi and rho pi production in hard gamma*gamma scattering in the forward kinematical region where the virtual photon is highly off-shell is studied using the gamma -> pi(-) Transition Distribution Amplitudes obtained in realistic models for the pion. For rho pi production we confirm the previous estimates before QCD evolution. Nevertheless. once evolution is taken into account this cross section grows one order of magnitude. In the case of pi pi production we have evaluated the cross section including the pion pole contribution. We observe that this contribution is responsible for an enhancement of two orders of magnitude with respect to the cross section evaluated without th…

Pion-Photon TDAs in the NJL Model
2008
The pion-photon Transition Distribution Amplitudes (TDAs) are studied, treating the pion as a bound state in the sense of Bethe-Salpeter, in the formalism of the NJL model. The results obtained explicitly verify support, sum rules and polynomiality conditions. The role of PCAC is highlighted.
Two-current correlations in the pion in the Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model
2020
We present an analysis of two-current correlations for the pion in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, with Pauli--Villars regularization. We provide explicit expressions in momentum space for two-current correlations corresponding to the zeroth component of the vector Dirac bilinear in the quark vertices, which has been evaluated on the lattice. The numerical results show a remarkable qualitative agreement with recent lattice data. The factorization approximation into one-body currents is discussed.
Non-perturbative momentum dependence of the coupling constant and hadronic models
2011
Models of hadron structure are associated with a hadronic scale which allows by perturbative evolution to calculate observables in the deep inelastic region. The resolution of Dyson-Schwinger equations leads to the freezing of the QCD running coupling (effective charge) in the infrared, which is best understood as a dynamical generation of a gluon mass function, giving rise to a momentum dependence which is free from infrared divergences. We use this new development to understand why perturbative treatments are working reasonably well despite the smallness of the hadronic scale.
