Title: Sketching the pion's valence-quark generalised parton distribution

Journal Article · · Physics Letters. B

In order to learn effectively from measurements of generalised parton distributions (GPDs), it is desirable to compute them using a framework that can potentially connect empirical information with basic features of the Standard Model. We sketch an approach to such computations, based upon a rainbow-ladder (RL) truncation of QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations and exemplified via the pion's valence dressed-quark GPD, H-pi(V)(chi, xi, t). Our analysis focuses primarily on xi = 0, although we also capitalise on the symmetry-preserving nature of the RL truncation by connecting H-pi(V)(chi, xi = +/- 1, t) with the pion's valence-quark parton distribution amplitude. We explain that the impulse-approximation used hitherto to define the pion's valence dressed-quark GPD is generally invalid owing to omission of contributions from the gluons which bind dressed-quarks into the pion. A simple correction enables us to identify a practicable improvement to the approximation for H(pi)(V)p(chi, 0, t), expressed as the Radon transform of a single amplitude. Therewith we obtain results for H pi V(chi, 0, t) and the associated impact-parameter dependent distribution, q(pi)(V)(chi, vertical bar(b) over right arrow (perpendicular to)vertical bar), which provide a qualitatively sound picture of the pion's dressed-quark structure at a hadronic scale. We evolve the distributions to a scale zeta = 2 GeV, so as to facilitate comparisons in future with results from experiment or other nonperturbative methods. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier B. V.
