Photon interactions and chiral dynamics

Abstract

Twist-2 components of the real and virtual photon distribution amplitudes are evaluated in several chiral quark models. The results, obtained at the quark model scale, are then evolved to higher scales, probed in experiments or in lattice QCD. We also analyze the related form factors and coupling constants. Our results are a genuine dynamical prediction, following from the chiral dynamics.
