QCD and Strong Interaction

• Accepted theory for

strong interaction

• Running coupling

constant ~ 1

QCD and Strong Interaction

• Asymptotic freedom at high energy: perturbative calculation

• Significant interaction at intermediate energy: quark-gluon correlations

• Strong interaction at low energy : confinement

• Theoretical tools: pQCD, OPE, Lattice QCD, ChPT etc

• A major challenge in fundamental physics

• Understand QCD in strong interaction region (at low energy)

• Study and understand nucleon structure

Nucleon Structureand Sum Rules

• 3 valence quarks carry ~50% of the nucleon momentum

• Spin=1/2, quarks contribute ~30% Spin Sum Rule

• Large anomalous moment GDH Sum Rule

• Axial charge Bjorken Sum Rule

• Angular momentum Generalized Parton Distributions

• Polarizabilities (spin & color)

Three Decadesof Spin Structures

• 1980’s: EMC (CERN) + early SLAC

• quark contribution to proton is very small - spin crisis

• Violation of Ellis-Jaffe Sum Rule

Three Decadesof Spin Structures

• 1990’s: SLAC, SMC(CERN), HERMES(DESY)

• the rest = gluon and quark orbital angular momentum

• Bjorken Sum Rule verified to <10% level

Three Decadesof Spin Structures

• 2000’s: COMPASS(CERN), HERMES, RHIC-Spin, JLab, ...

•

• probably small

• Orbital angular momentum probably significant

it disagrees with neither calculations by several hundred %!

A challenge to χPT theorists.

New Experiment onProton g2 and δLT

g2 : central to knowledge of Nucleon Structure but remains unmeasured at low Q2 — Critical input to Hydrogen Hyperfine Calculations— Violation of BC Sum Rule suggested at large Q2

— State-of-the-Art χPT calcs fail dramatically for δLT

Transverse Spin (II)

• Single Spin Asymmetries in SIDIS

• Transversity and TMD’s

Transversity• Three twist-2 quark distributions:

• Momentum distributions: q(x,Q2) = q↑(x) + q↓(x)

• Longitudinal spin distributions: Δq(x,Q2) = q↑(x) - q↓(x)

• Transversity distributions: δq(x,Q2) = q┴(x) - q┬(x)

• It takes two chiral-odd objects to make transversity detectable

• Semi-inclusive DIS

Chiral-odd distributions function (Transversity)

Chiral-odd fragmentation function (Collins function)

• TMDs: (without integrating over PT)

• Distribution functions depends on x, k┴ and Q2 : δq, f1T┴ (x,k┴ ,Q2), …

• Fragmentation functions depends on z, p┴ and Q2 : D, H1(x,p┴ ,Q2)

• Measured asymmetries depends on x, z, P┴ and Q2 : Collins, Sivers, …

(k┴, p┴ and P┴ are related)

Measurement of Sivers function and GPD-E at CLAS 6

DVCS Transverse asymmetry (function of momentum transfer to proton) is large and has

strong sensitivity to GPD-E

CLAS will provide a measurements of Sivers asymmetry at large x, where the effect is large and models unconstrained by previous measurements.
