Truncated first moment of the parton distribution - a modified approach

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-03-25 v1

Abstract

We derive the LO DGLAP evolution equation for the full Mellin moments of the truncated at x0x_0 first moment of the nonsinglet parton distribution. This "moment of moment" approach allows to determine the small-x0x_0 behaviour of the truncated first moment. We compare our predictions to results obtained from xx-space solutions for parton distributions with use of the Chebyshev polynomial method and to solutions of the evolution equations for the truncated moments proposed by other authors. The comparison is performed for different input parametrisations for 105x00.110^{-5}\leq x_0\leq 0.1 and 1Q21001\leq Q^2\leq 100 GeV2{\rm GeV}^2. We give an example of application to the determination of the contribution to the Bjorken Sum Rule.
