Radiatively Generated Isospin Violations in the Nucleon

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

Isospin violating valence and sea distributions are evaluated due to QED leading O(α){\cal{O}}{(\alpha)} corrections to the standard QCD evolution equations. Unique perturbative predictions are obtained within the radiative parton model, and confirm earlier results. Nonperturbative contributions have been estimated and depend on a single free parameter chosen to be the current quark mass.The relevance of our predictions for extracting sin2θW\sin^2 \theta_W from DIS ν(νˉ)N\nu(\bar{\nu})N data (`NuTeV anomaly') is discussed as well.
