Pion Valence Structure at Intermediate x in the Residual Field Approach
Joseph Maerovitz, Christopher Leon, Misak Sargsian
We calculate the valence parton distribution function~(PDF) of pion, within the theoretical approach based on spectral function representation of valence quarks in the pion. In thi…
Possible Universal Limit for Valence Parton Distributions
Christopher Leon, Misak M. Sargsian
We report the observation of the existence of a possible universal limit for valence parton distributions that should exist once partonic degrees of freedom are relevant for high e…
Residual Mean Field Model of Valence Quarks in the Nucleon
Christopher Leon, Misak Sargsian
We develop a non-perturbative model for valence parton distribution functions (PDFs) based on the mean field interactions of valence quarks in the nucleonic interior. The main moti…
The Constituent Counting Rule and Omega Photoproduction
Trevor Reed, Christopher Leon, Frank Vera +2
The constituent counting ruling (CCR) has been found to hold for numerous hard, exclusive processes. It predicts the differential cross section at high energies and fixed $\cos θ_{…
A Novel Feature of Valence Quark Distributions in Hadrons
Christopher Leon, Misak M. Sargsian, Frank Vera
Examining the evolution of the maximum of valence quark distribution weighted by Bjorken x, , we observe that at the peak should become a one param…
Mean Field Quarks on the Light Front
Christopher Leon, Misak Sargsian
We present a new approach for the calculation of the valence quark distributions in the nucleon based on the scenario in which the spectrum of the valence quarks at x>0.05 is gener…
