Next-to-leading Order Evolution of Transversity Distributions and Soffer's Inequality
arXiv:hep-ph/9706511 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.57.1886
Abstract
We present a calculation of the two-loop splitting functions for the evolution of the twist-2 `transversity' parton densities of transversely polarized nucleons. We study the implications of our results for Soffer's inequality for the case of valence quark densities.
