Second order QCD contributions to polarized spacelike and timelike processes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We will give an outline of the computation of the QCD corrections to the spin structure function g_1(x,Q^2) and the spin fragmentation function g_1^H(x,Q^2) which are measured in deep inelastic electron-proton scattering and in electron-positron annihilation respectively. In particular we show how to deal with the gamma_5-matrix and the Levi-Civita tensor, appearing in the amplitudes of the parton subprocesses, when the method of N-dimensional regularization is used.
