QCD effective charges and the structure function F2 at small-x: Higher twist effects

We consider the effect of higher twist operators of the Wilson operator product expansion in the structure function F2(x,Q2) at small-x, taking into account QCD effective charges whose infrared behavior is constrained by a dynamical mass scale. The higher twist corrections are obtained from the reno...

description We consider the effect of higher twist operators of the Wilson operator product expansion in the structure function F2(x,Q2) at small-x, taking into account QCD effective charges whose infrared behavior is constrained by a dynamical mass scale. The higher twist corrections are obtained from the renormalon formalism. Our analysis is performed within the conventional framework of next-to-leading order, with the factorization and renormalization scales chosen to be Q2. The infrared properties of QCD are treated in the context of the generalized double-asymptotic-scaling approximation. We show that the corrections to F2 associated with twist-four and twist-six are both necessary and sufficient for a good description of the deep infrared experimental data. Keywords: Nonperturbative QCD, Higher twist operators, Deep inelastic scattering
