Asymptotic high energy behavior of the deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude
We compute the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) amplitude for forward
and backward scattering in the asymptotic limit. Since this calculation does
not assume ordering of the transverse momenta, it includes important
logarithmic contributions that are beyond those summed by the DGLAP evolution.
These contributions lead to a power-like behavior for the forward DVCS
amplitude.Comment: Latex, 22 pages, 5 Figures; references enhanced; typos correcte
Double deeply virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon
We study the double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS) process off the
nucleon, through the scattering of a spacelike virtual photon with large
virtuality resulting in the production of a timelike virtual photon, decaying
into an e^+ e^- pair. This process is expressed in the Bjorken regime in terms
of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and it is shown that by varying the
invariant mass of the lepton pair, one can directly extract the GPDs from the
observables. We give predictions for the DDVCS cross section and beam helicity
asymmetry and discuss its experimental feasibility.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
On the Resummation of the epe^+e^-$ Annihilation
The resummation of the non-singlet contributions is
performed for initial state QED corrections. As examples, the effect of the
resummation on neutral-current deep-inelastic scattering and the scattering cross section near the -peak is
investigated.Comment: 11 pages Latex, including 3 eps-figure
On the Generalized Harmonic Polylogarithms of One Complex Variable
We describe how to compute numerically in the complex plain a set of
Generalized Harmonic Polylogarithms (GHPLs) with square roots in the weights,
using the C++/GiNaC numerical routines of Vollinga and Weinzierl. As an
example, we provide the numerical values of the NLO electroweak light-fermion
corrections to the Higgs boson production in gluon fusion in the case of
complex W and Z masses.Comment: 25 pages, 1 figur
Parton distribution functions from the precise NNLO QCD fit
We report the parton distribution functions (PDFs) determined from the NNLO
QCD analysis of the world inclusive DIS data with account of the precise NNLO
QCD corrections to the evolution equations kernel. The value of strong coupling
constant \alpha_s^{NNLO}(M_Z)=0.1141(14), in fair agreement with one obtained
using the earlier approximate NNLO kernel by van Neerven-Vogt. The intermediate
bosons rates calculated in the NNLO using obtained PDFs are in agreement to the
latest Run II results.Comment: 8 pages, LATEX, 2 figures (EPS
On the analytical approximation to the GLAP evolution at small x and moderate Q^2
Comparing the numerically evaluated solution to the leading order GLAP
equations with its analytical small-x approximation we have found that in the
domain covered by a large fraction of the HERA data the analytic approximation
has to be augmented by the formally non-leading term which has been usually
neglected. The corrected formula fits the data much better and provides a
natural explanation of some of the deviations from the scaling
observed in the HERA kinematical range.Comment: LaTeX, 13 pages including 6 figures, figure 5 replaced, to appear in

A new approach to calculate the gluon polarization
We derive the Leading-Order master equation to extract the polarized gluon
distribution G(x;Q^2) = x \deltag(x;Q^2) from polarized proton structure
function, g1p(x;Q^2). By using a Laplace-transform technique, we solve the
master equation and derive the polarized gluon distribution inside the proton.
The test of accuracy which are based on our calculations with two different
methods confirms that we achieve to the correct solution for the polarized
gluon distribution. We show that accurate experimental knowledge of g1p(x;Q^2)
in a region of Bjorken x and Q^2, is all that is needed to determine the
polarized gluon distribution in that region. Therefore, to determine the gluon
polarization \deltag /g,we only need to have accurate experimental data on
un-polarized and polarized structure functions (F2p (x;Q^2) and g1p(x;Q^2)).Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
Wandzura-Wilczek approximation for the twist-3 DVCS amplitude
We present a derivation of Wandzura-Wilczek (WW) like relations for skewed
parton distributions. It is demonstrated for photon-pion scattering that the
skewed twist-3 parton distributions contributing to the DVCS amplitude have
discontinuities at the points in the WW approximation. This may lead
to a violation of factorisation for the twist-3 DVCS amplitude with transverse
polarization of the virtual photon. We show, however, that the contribution of
the divergencies to the scattering of a transversely polarized virtual photon
affects DVCS observables only at order and can be neglected at twist-3
accuracy. For the scattering of a longitudinally polarized photon the twist-3
amplitude is free of such divergencies.Comment: 9 pages, no figures (To appear in Phys. Lett. B
Supersymmetric Effects in Parity-Violating Deep Inelastic Electron-Nucleus Scattering
We compute the supersymmetric (SUSY) corrections to the parity-violating,
deep inelastic electron-deuteron asymmetry. Working with the Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) we consider two cases: R parity conserving
and R parity-violating. Under these scenarios, we compare the SUSY effects with
those entering other parity-violating observables. For both cases of the MSSM,
we find that the magnitude of the SUSY corrections can be as large as about 1%
and that they are strongly correlated with the effects on other
parity-violating observables. A comparison of various low-energy
parity-violating observables thus provides a potentially interesting probe of
SUSY.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
