Perturbative renormalization of the first moment of structure functions for domain-wall QCD

Abstract

Using the domain-wall formulation of lattice fermions, we have computed the one-loop renormalization factors of one-link operators which measure the first nontrivial moment of the unpolarized, polarized and transversity structure functions, in the flavor nonsinglet sector. The knowledge of these factors is necessary in order to extract physical numbers from domain-wall Monte Carlo simulations of parton distributions. We have automated the perturbative calculations by developing suitable FORM codes. The results show that in many instances the total renormalization factors are almost equal to one, and that hence the corresponding operators are, for the appropriate values of the Dirac mass $M$ and the coupling $g_0$, practically unrenormalized.
