The light-cone expansion and the parton model in polarized muon-production

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The relation between the light-cone expansion and the QCD improved parton model formalism for polarized deep inelastic muon-production is discussed in detail. The regulator dependence of the relevant quantities is explicity studied at the two-loop level for the first moment ofg P1 . It is shown that the anomalous gluon component is well defined if the quark term is specified as a conserved quantity that does not evolve inQ 2. The behaviour of the first moment ofg P1 at the threshold for heavy quark production is also discussed.
