Determination of quark-gluon-quark interference within the proton

Alexey Vladimirov, Guillermo Portela, Simone Rodini

Quarks and gluon, as quantum particles, are subjects to various effects that go beyond the naive parton picture and are not captured by ordinary parton densities. In this work, we…

Perturbative results of matrix elements of the axial current and their relation with the axial anomaly

Ignacio Castelli, Adam Freese, Cédric Lorcé +3

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the axial current is not conserved, due both to fermion masses and to the axial anomaly. Using perturbative quantum chromodynamics, we ca…
