Quantum-mechanical picture of peripheral chiral dynamics

Journal Article Granados, Carlos ; Weiss, Christian - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The nucleon's peripheral transverse charge and magnetization densities are computed in chiral effective field theory. The densities are represented in first-quantized form, as overlap integrals of chiral light-front wave functions describing the transition of the nucleon to soft pion-nucleon intermediate states. The orbital motion of the pion causes a large left-right asymmetry in a transversely polarized nucleon. As a result, the effect attests to the relativistic nature of chiral dynamics [pion momenta k = O(M_π)] and could be observed in form factor measurements at low momentum transfer.

Light-front representation of chiral dynamics in peripheral transverse densities

Journal Article Granados, Carlos G. ; Weiss, Christian - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

The nucleon's electromagnetic form factors are expressed in terms of the transverse densities of charge and magnetization at fixed light-front time. At peripheral transverse distances b = O(M_pi^{-1}) the densities are governed by chiral dynamics and can be calculated model-independently using chiral effective field theory (EFT). We represent the leading-order chiral EFT results for the peripheral transverse densities as overlap integrals of chiral light-front wave functions, describing the transition of the initial nucleon to soft pion-nucleon intermediate states and back. The new representation (a) explains the parametric order of the peripheral transverse densities; (b) establishes an inequality between the spin-independentmore »« less

Chiral Dynamics and Transverse Peripheral Densities

Conference Granados, Carlos ; Weiss, Christian

We study the transverse charge and current densities in the periphery of the nucleon where they are governed by universal chiral dynamics. The large?distance asymptotics of the densities are derived from the spectral functions of the Dirac and Pauli form factors near the threshold at t = 4M?2 obtained from invariant chiral perturbation theory. In the equivalent light?front formulation, the peripheral densities arise from large?size ?N configurations in the nucleon?s light?front wave function obtained from the chiral Lagrangian. We compute the chiral component of the charge and current densities and explain their order?of?magnitude in the chiral expansion. We also discussmore »« less

Chiral dynamics and peripheral transverse densities

Journal Article Granados, Carlos G. ; Weiss, Christian - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

In the partonic (or light-front) description of relativistic systems the electromagnetic form factors are expressed in terms of frame-independent charge and magnetization densities in transverse space. This formulation allows one to identify the chiral components of nucleon structure as the peripheral densities at transverse distances b = O(M{sub {pi}}{sup -1}) and compute them in a parametrically controlled manner. A dispersion relation connects the large-distance behavior of the transverse charge and magnetization densities to the spectral functions of the Dirac and Pauli form factors near the two--pion threshold at timelike t = 4 M{ sub {pi}}{sup 2}, which can be computedmore »« less

Peripheral Transverse Densities of the Nucleon in a Chiral-Parton Approach to Isovector Form Factors

Conference Granados, Carlos ; Weiss, Christian

We calculate the nucleon's isovector electromagnetic and gravitational form factors using leading time ordered diagrams in the infinite momentum frame. These form factors can be written as overlaps of nucleon-pion light-cone wave-functions of the nucleon plus, in the case of electromagnetic form factors, a non-partonic contact term. We demonstrate also that through Fourier transforms, these form factors are related to transverse charge densities of the nucleon that are calculable in the nucleon's periphery using an isovector pion-nucleon coupling when calculating wave functions. It is found that these transverse densities are suppressed exponentially at large distances by powers that grow withmore »« less
