One-Loop Matching for Generalized Parton Distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-09-28 v2

Abstract

We present the one-loop matching condition for the unpolarized and polarized generalized quark distributions in the non-singlet case. The matching condition links the quasi distributions defined in terms of spacelike correlators at finite nucleon momentum to the light-cone distributions, and is useful for extracting the latter from the former in a lattice QCD calculation. Our results show that at one-loop and leading power accuracy the matching for the light-cone generalized quark distribution HH (H~\tilde H) is non-trivial, whereas no matching is required for EE (E~\tilde E). Therefore, EE (E~\tilde E) can be smoothly approached by its quasi counterpart in the large momentum limit. We also present the matching for the distribution amplitude of the pion.
