ABSTRACT
We carry out the first complete calculation of kinematic power corrections ~t/Q(2) and ~m(2)/Q(2) to the helicity amplitudes of deeply virtual Compton scattering. This result removes an important source of uncertainties in the quantum chromodynamics predictions for intermediate momentum transfers Q(2) ~ 1-10 GeV(2) that are accessible in the existing and planned experiments. In particular, the finite-t corrections are significant and must be taken into account in the data analysis.
ABSTRACT
We develop a general approach to the calculation of kinematic corrections ât/Q(2), m(2)/Q(2) in hard processes which involve momentum transfer from the initial to the final hadron state. As the principal result, the complete expression is derived for the time-ordered product of two electromagnetic currents that includes all kinematic corrections to twist-four accuracy. The results are immediately applicable, e.g., to the studies of deeply virtual Compton scattering.
ABSTRACT
We study the properties of the color-singlet compound states of Reggeized gluons in multicolor QCD using their relation with non-compact two-dimensional Heisenberg spin magnets. Applying the methods of integrable models, we calculate their spectrum and discuss the application of the obtained results to high-energy asymptotics of the scattering amplitudes in perturbative QCD.
