A glimpse of gluons through deeply virtual compton scattering on the proton

Abstract: The internal structure of nucleons (protons and neutrons) remains one of the greatest outstanding problems in modern nuclear physics. By scattering high-energy electrons off a proton we are able to resolve its fundamental constituents and probe their momenta and positions. Here we investigate the dynamics of quarks and gluons inside nucleons using deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS)—a highly virtual photon scatters off the proton, which subsequently radiates a photon. DVCS interferes with the Bethe-Heitle… Show more

“…Within the Braun et al [5] formalism, three kind of CFFs F µν ∈ {H µν , E µν , H µν , E µν }, where µ and ν are the helicity state of the virtual photon and outgoing real photon, can be used to describe the DVCS process. Our accurate measurements of the H(e, e γ)p polarized cross sections demonstrated the sensitivity of our data to twist-3 (HT) F 0+ and/or next to leading order (NLO) F −+ contributions involving gluons [6]. Figure 2 shows the separation between the DVCS 2 and the BH-DVCS interference for both scenarios [6].…”

“…Our accurate measurements of the H(e, e γ)p polarized cross sections demonstrated the sensitivity of our data to twist-3 (HT) F 0+ and/or next to leading order (NLO) F −+ contributions involving gluons [6]. Figure 2 shows the separation between the DVCS 2 and the BH-DVCS interference for both scenarios [6]. A significant DVCS 2 contribution to the polarized cross section difference is observed in the HT scenario, assumed to be a purely interference term in DVCS phenomenology up to now.…”

“…On the other hand, if we consider the antiquark as an active parton and quark as the spectator, the conditions described in Eq. (19) should remain the same, however, the antiquark momentum will now be given as k ⊥1 = −k ⊥ and longitudinal momentum fraction by active antiquark as x 1 = −x. In that case, the quark spectator momentum and longitudinal momentum fraction are taken to be k ⊥2 = k ⊥ and x 2 = 1 + x respectively.…”

“…Since the Wigner distributions are interpreted with ζ = 0, the initial and final state momenta and longitudinal momentum fractions can be used by putting ζ = 0 in Eqs. (14)- (19). Further, we can obtain the purely transverse Wigner distributions by integrating them over x as…”
