Abstract

We study the Q2Q^2 dependence of the chiral-odd twist-3 distribution e(x,Q2)e(x,Q^2).The anomalous dimension matrix for the corresponding twist-3 operators is calculated in the one-loop level. This study completes the calculation of the anomalous dimension matrices for all the twist-3 distributions together with the known results for the other twist-3 distributions g2(x,Q2)g_2(x,Q^2) and hL(x,Q2)h_L(x,Q^2). We also have confirmed that in the large NcN_c limit the Q2Q^2-evolution of e(x,Q2)e(x,Q^2) is wholely governed by the lowest eigenvalue of the anomalous dimension matrix which takes a very simple analytic form as in the case of g2g_2 and hLh_L.
