Diagonal input for the evolution of off-diagonal partons

Abstract

We show that a knowledge of diagonal partons at a low scale is sufficient to determine the off-diagonal (or skewed) distributions at a higher scale, to a good degree of accuracy. We quantify this observation by presenting results for the evolution of off-diagonal distributions from a variety of different inputs.
