Non-perturbative gluon-hadron inputs for all available forms of QCD factorization

Abstract

Description of hadronic reactions at high energies is conventionally done on basis of QCD factoriza- tion so that factorization convolutions involve non-perturbative inputs mimicking non-perturbative contributions and perturbative evolution of those inputs. We construct the inputs for the gluon- hadron scattering amplitudes in the forward kinematics and, using the Optical theorem, convert them into inputs for gluon distributions in the both polarized and unpolarized hadrons. Firstly, we derive general mathematical criteria which any model for the inputs should obey and then suggest a Resonance Model satisfying those criteria. This model is inspired by a simple observation: after emitting an active parton off the hadron, the remaining ensemble of spectators becomes unstable and therefore it can be described through factors of the resonance type. Exploiting Resonance Model, we obtain non-perturbative inputs for gluon distributions in unpolarized and polarized hadrons for all available forms of QCD factorization: Basic, KT - and Collinear Factorizations. We compare the obtained inputs to the inputs available in the literature.

Comments

Transition from KT factorization to Collinear Factorization and structure of non-perturbative inputs for Collinear Factroization are considered in a much more detailed way. Several Refs are added
