hadron structure

What is QCD?Hall-A Collaboration Meeting: 13-14 June 2013

8

QCD is a Theory Very likely a self-contained, nonperturbatively renormalisable

and hence well defined Quantum Field TheoryThis is not true of QED – cannot be defined nonperturbatively

No confirmed breakdown over an enormous energy domain: 0 GeV < E < 8000 GeV

Increasingly likely that any extension of the Standard Model will be based on the paradigm established by QCD – Extended Technicolour: electroweak symmetry breaks via a

fermion bilinear operator in a strongly-interacting non-Abelian theory. (Andersen et al. “Discovering Technicolor” Eur.Phys.J.Plus 126 (2011) 81)Higgs sector of the SM becomes an effective description of a more fundamental fermionic theory, similar to the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity



(not an effective theory)

Strong-interaction: QCD

Asymptotically free– Perturbation theory is valid

and accurate tool at large-Q2

– Hence chiral limit is defined Essentially nonperturbative

for Q2 < 2 GeV2


Nature’s only (now known) example of a truly nonperturbative, fundamental theory A-priori, no idea as to what such a theory can produce


10

What is Confinement?


11

Light quarks & Confinement

A unit area placed midway between the quarks and perpendicular to the line connecting them intercepts a constant number of field lines, independent of the distance between the quarks. This leads to a constant force between the quarks – and a large force at that, equal to about 16 metric tons.”Hall-D Conceptual-DR(5)



Folklore “The color field lines between a quark and an anti-quark form flux tubes.

12


Problem: 16 tonnes of force makes a lot of pions.



13


Problem: 16 tonnes of force makes a lot of pions.



14

Light quarks & Confinement In the presence of

light quarks, pair creation seems to occur non-localized and instantaneously

No flux tube in a theory with light-quarks.

Flux-tube is not the correct paradigm for confinement in hadron physics



G. Bali et al., PoS LAT2005 (2006) 308

http://inspirebeta.net/record/694488?ln=en



15

QFT Paradigm: – Confinement is expressed through a dramatic

change in the analytic structure of propagators for coloured states

– It can almost be read from a plot of the dressed-propagator for a coloured state

16


In the study of hadrons, attention should turn from potential models toward the continuum bound-state problem in quantum field theory

Such approaches offer the possibility of posing simultaneously the questions – What is confinement?– What is dynamical chiral symmetry breaking?– How are they related?

Is it possible that two phenomena, so critical in the Standard Model and tied to the dynamical generation of a mass-scale in QCD, can have different origins and fates?

Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking

Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking

DCSB is a fact in QCD– Dynamical, not spontaneous

• Add nothing to QCD , no Higgs field, nothing! • Effect achieved purely through the dynamics of gluons

and quarks.– It’s the most important mass generating

mechanism for visible matter in the Universe. • Responsible for approximately 98% of the

proton’s mass.• Higgs mechanism is (almost) irrelevant to light-

quarks.Hall-A Collaboration Meeting: 13-14 June 2013

Mass from nothing!


C.D. Roberts, Prog. Part. Nucl. Phys. 61 (2008) 50M. Bhagwat & P.C. Tandy, AIP Conf.Proc. 842 (2006) 225-227 In QCD, all “constants” of

quantum mechanics are actually strongly momentum dependent: couplings, number density, mass, etc.

So, a quark’s mass depends on its momentum.

Mass function can be calculated and is depicted here.

Continuum- and Lattice-QCD are in agreement: the vast bulk of the light-quark mass comes from a cloud of gluons, dragged along by the quark as it propagates.






20

In QCD, Gluons, too, become massive

Not just quarks … Gluons also have a

gap equation …1/k2 behaviour signals essential singularity in the running coupling:

Impossible to reach in perturbation theory

Parton structure of

Valence quarks

22

Parton Structure of Hadrons

Valence-quark structure of hadrons– Definitive of a hadron – it’s how we tell a proton from

a neutron– Expresses charge; flavour; baryon number; and other

Poincaré-invariant macroscopic quantum numbers– Via evolution, determines background at LHC

Sea-quark distributions– Flavour content, asymmetry, intrinsic: yes or no?

Any nontrivial answers are essentially nonperturbative features of QCD



23

Parton Structure of Hadrons Light front provides a link with quantum mechanics

– If a probability interpretation is ever valid, it’s in the infinite-momentum frame

Enormous amount of intuitively expressive information about hadrons & processes involving them is encoded in – Parton distribution functions – Generalised parton distribution functions – Transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution

functions Information will be revealed by the measurement of

these functions – so long as they can be calculatedSuccess of programme demands very close collaboration between experiment and theory

26

Exact expression in QCD for the pion’s valence-quark parton distribution amplitude

Expression is Poincaré invariant but a probability interpretation is only valid in the light-front frame because only therein does one have particle-number conservation.

Probability that a valence-quark or antiquark carries a fraction x=k+ / P+

of the pion’s light-front momentum { n2=0, n.P = -mπ}

Pion’s Bethe-Salpeter wave function

Whenever a nonrelativistic limit is realistic, this would correspond to the Schroedinger wave function.

Moments method is ideal for φπ(x):

1 dx xm φπ(x) = fπ 1/(1+m) , hence φπ(x)= fπ Θ(x)Θ(1-x)



Pion’s Bethe-Salpeter wave function

28


The distribution amplitude φπ(x) is actually dependent on the momentum-scale at which a particular interaction takes place; viz., φπ(x)= φπ(x,Q)

One may show in general that φπ(x) has an expansion in terms of Gegenbauer–α=3/2 polynomials:

Only even terms contribute because the neutral pion is an eigenstate of charge conjugation, so φπ(x)=φπ(1-x)

Evolution, analogous to that of the parton distribution functions, is encoded in the coefficients an(Q)



29


However, practically, in reconstructing φπ(x) from its moments, it is better to use Gegenbauer–α polynomials and then rebuild the Gegenbauer–α=3/2 expansion from that.– Better means – far more rapid convergence because

Gegenbauer–α=3/2 is only accurate near ΛQCD/Q=0.– One nontrivial Gegenbauer–α polynomial provides converged

reconstruction cf. more than SEVEN Gegenbauer–α=3/2 polynomials

Results have been obtained with rainbow-ladder DSE kernel, simplest symmetry preserving form; and the best DCSB-improved kernel that is currently available.– xα (1-x)α, with α=0.3

This may be claimed because PDA is computed at a low renormalisation scale in the chiral limit, whereat the quark mass function owes entirely to DCSB.

Difference between RL and DB results is readily understood: B(p2) is more slowly varying with DB kernel and hence a more balanced result

Lattice comparisonPion’s valence-quark PDA

Establishes that contemporary DSE- and lattice-QCD computations, at the same scale, agree on the pointwise form of the pion's PDA, φπ(x).

This unification of DSE- and lattice-QCD results expresses a deeper equivalence between them, expressed, in particular, via the common behaviour they predict for the dressed-quark mass-function, which is both – a definitive signature of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking – and the origin of the distribution amplitude's dilation.







35

When is asymptotic PDA valid?

Under leading-order evolution, the PDA remains broad to Q2>100 GeV2

Feature signals persistence of the influence of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking.



Consequently, the asymptotic distribution, φπ

asy(x), is a poor approximation to the pion's PDA at all such scales that are either currently accessible or foreseeable in experiments on pion elastic and transition form factors.

Thus, related expectations based on φπasy(x) should be revised.

36

When is asymptotic PDA valid?

φπasy(x) can only be a

good approximation to the pion's PDA when it is accurate to write

uvπ (x) ≈ δ(x)

for the pion's valence-quark distribution function.

This is far from valid at currently accessible scales



Q2=27 GeV2

This is not δ(x)!







Charged pion elastic form factor

Charged pion elastic form factor Prediction of pQCD

Near agreement between the pertinent perturbative QCD prediction and DSE-2013 prediction is striking.

Single DSE interaction kernel, determined fully by just one parameter and preserving the one-loop renormalisation group behaviour of QCD, has unified the Fπ(Q2) and φπ(x) (and numerous other quantities)



Charged pion elastic form factor Leading-order, leading-twist

QCD prediction, obtained with φπ(x) evaluated at a scale appropriate to the experiment underestimates DSE-2013 prediction by merely an approximately uniform 15%.

Small mismatch is explained by a combination of higher-order, higher-twist corrections & and shortcomings in the rainbow-ladder truncation.


DSE 2013

pQCD obtained φπ(x;2GeV), i.e., the PDA appropriate to the scale of the experiment

Hence, one should expect dominance of hard contributions to the pion form factor for Q2>8GeV2.

Nevertheless, the normalisation of the form factor is fixed by a pion wave-function whose dilation with respect to φπ

asy(x) is a definitive signature of DCSB


Structure of Hadrons Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB)

– has enormous impact on meson properties. Must be included in description

and prediction of baryon properties. DCSB is essentially a quantum field theoretical effect.

In quantum field theory Meson appears as pole in four-point quark-antiquark Green function

→ Bethe-Salpeter Equation Nucleon appears as a pole in a six-point quark Green function

→ Faddeev Equation. Poincaré covariant Faddeev equation sums all possible exchanges and

interactions that can take place between three dressed-quarks Tractable equation is based on the observation that an interaction which

describes colour-singlet mesons also generates nonpointlike quark-quark (diquark) correlations in the colour-antitriplet channel

Structure of Hadrons

Remarks Diquark correlations are not inserted by hand

Such correlations are a dynamical consequence of strong-coupling in QCD

The same mechanism that produces an almost massless pion from two dynamically-massive quarks; i.e., DCSB, forces a strong correlation between two quarks in colour-antitriplet channels within a baryon – an indirect consequence of Pauli-Gürsey symmetry

Diquark correlations are not pointlike– Typically, r0+ ~ rπ & r1+ ~ rρ

(actually 10% larger)– They have soft form factors



SU(2) isospin symmetry of hadrons might emerge from mixing half-integer spin particles with their antiparticles.

46

Structure of Hadrons Elastic form factors

– Provide vital information about the structure and composition of the most basic elements of nuclear physics.

– They are a measurable and physical manifestation of the nature of the hadrons' constituents and the dynamics that binds them together.

Accurate form factor data are driving paradigmatic shifts in our pictures of hadrons and their structure; e.g., – role of orbital angular momentum and nonpointlike diquark

correlations– scale at which p-QCD effects become evident– strangeness content– meson-cloud effects– etc.

Visible Impacts of DCSB


Apparently small changes in M(p) within the domain 1<p(GeV)<3have striking effect on the proton’s electric form factor

The possible existence and location of the zero is determined by behaviour of Q2F2

p(Q2) measures the rate at which dress-ed-quarks become parton-like: F2

Current knowledge of transversity: SIDIS @HERMES, COMPASS, JLab No gluon transversity distribution => transversity is suppressed at low-x, so

large-x behavior important => JLab12 a useful tool. So, transversity will be measured at JLab12 (Hall-A E12-09-018-SIDIS; CLAS12; and SoLID)

Epilogue The Physics of Hadrons is Unique:

– Confronting a fundamental theory in which the elementary degrees-of-freedom are intangible and only composites reach detectors

Confinement in real-world is NOT understood DCSB is crucial to any understanding of hadron

phenomena

They must have a common origin Experimental and theoretical study of the Bound-

state problem in continuum QCD promises to provide many more insights and answers.
