The challenge of QCD Quantum Chromodynamics is the only known example in nature of a nonperturvative fundamental quantum field theory QCD have profound implications for our understanding of the real-world: Explain how quarks and gluons bind together to form hadrons. Origin of the 98% of the mass in the visible universe. Given QCD s complexity: The best promise for progress is a strong interplay between experiment and theory. Emergent phenomena ւ Quark and gluon confinement Colored particles have never been seen isolated ց Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking Hadrons do not follow the chiral symmetry pattern Neither of these phenomena is apparent in QCD s Lagrangian yet! They play a dominant role determining characteristics of real-world QCD Jorge Segovia (Argonne National Laboratory) Explanations and Predictions from QCD s DSEs /44

Emergent phenomena: Confinement Confinement is associated with dramatic, dynamically-driven changes in the analytic structure of QCD s propagators and vertices (QCD s Schwinger functions) Dressed-propagator for a colored state: An observable particle is associated with a pole at timelike-p. When the dressing interaction is confining: Real-axis mass-pole splits, moving into a pair of complex conjugate singularities. No mass-shell can be associated with a particle whose propagator exhibits such singularity. Dressed-gluon propagator: Confined gluon. IR-massive but UV-massless. m G 4Λ QCD (Λ QCD 00MeV). Any -point Schwinger function with an inflexion point at p > 0: Breaks the axiom of reflexion positivity No physical observable related with Jorge Segovia (Argonne National Laboratory) Explanations and Predictions from QCD s DSEs 3/44

Emergent phenomena: Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking Spectrum of a theory invariant under chiral transformations should exhibit degenerate parity doublets π J P = 0 m = 140MeV cf. σ J P = 0 + m = 500MeV ρ J P = 1 m = 775MeV cf. a 1 J P = 1 + m = 160MeV N J P = 1/ + m = 938MeV cf.

Theory tool: Dyson-Schwinger equations Confinement and Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking (DCSB) can be identified with properties of dressed-quark and -gluon propagators and vertices (Schwinger functions) Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) The quantum equations of motion of QCD whose solutions are the Schwinger functions. Propagators and vertices. Generating tool for perturbation theory. No model-dependence. Nonperturbative tool for the study of continuum strong QCD. Any model-dependence should be incorporated here. Allows the study of the interaction between light quarks in the whole range of momenta. Analysis of the infrared behaviour is crucial to disentangle confinement and DCSB. Connect quark-quark interaction with experimental observables. Elastic and transition form factors can be used to illuminate QCD (at infrared momenta).

Vector and Axial-vector Ward-Green-Takahashi identities Symmetries should be preserved by any truncation Highly nontrivial constraint failure implies loss of any connection with QCD Symmetries associated with conservation of vector and axial-vector currents For instance, axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identity: These observations show that symmetries relate the kernel of the gap equation a one-body problem with that of the Bethe-Salpeter equation a two-body problem Jorge Segovia (Argonne National Laboratory) Explanations and Predictions from QCD s DSEs 7/44

The electromagnetic current The electromagnetic current can be generally written as: J µλ (K,Q) = Λ +(P f )R λα (P f )iγ 5 Γ αµ(k,q)λ +(P i ) Incoming nucleon: P i = m N, and outgoing delta: P f = m. Photon momentum: Q = P f P i, and total momentum: K = (P i +P f )/. The on-shell structure is ensured by the N- and -baryon projection operators.

Electromagnetic current description in the quark-diquark picture To compute the electromagnetic properties of the γ N reaction in a given framework, one must specify how the photon couples to its constituents.

Bound state amplitudes (BSAs) Exclusive reactions can be described in terms of Poincaré-covariant hadron bound-state amplitudes (BSAs) Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes Mesons Faddeev amplitudes Baryons This approach has been used widely: Elastic and transition electromagnetic form factors. Strong decays of hadrons. Semileptonic and nonleptonic weak decays of heavy mesons. The BSAs are predictions of the framework and the associated computational scheme is applicable on the entire domain of accessible momentum transfers. Truncations must be employed in formulating the problem. Issues related to the construction of veracious truncation schemes. In equal-time quantization, the wave function for a hadron is a frame dependent concept: As it is defined by observations of different space points at a fixed time. Boost operators are interaction dependent, i.e. are dynamical. Jorge Segovia (Argonne National Laboratory) Explanations and Predictions from QCD s DSEs 35/44

Parton distribution amplitudes (PDAs) In high energy scattering experiments particles move at near speed of light. Natural to quantize a theory at equal light-front time: τ = (t +z)/. Light-front wave functions, ψ(x i, k i ), have many remarkable properties: Provide a frame-independent representation of hadrons. Have a probability interpretation - as close as QFT gets to QM. Do not depend on the hadrons 4-momentum; only internal variables: x i and k i. Boosts are kinematical - not dynamical!! PDAs are (almost) observables and are related to light-front wave functions: ϕ(x i ) = d k i ψ(x i, k i ) x i L-F fraction of the bound-state total-momentum carried by the quark. Hard exclusive hadronic reactions can be expressed in terms of the PDAs.

Connection between BSAs and PDAs PDAs may be obtained as light-front projections of the hadron BSAs. Lei Chang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 13001 (013); 111, 14180 (013). Ian C. Cloet et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 09001 (013). Example: The pion s PDA: f π ϕ π(x) = Z d 4 k (π) δ(k+ xp + )Tr [ γ + γ 5 S(k)Γ π(k,p)s(k p) ] S(k)Γ π(k,p)s(k p) is the pion s Bethe-Salpeter amplitude. ϕ π(x) is the axial-vector projection of the pion s BSA onto the light-front. Two features emerged in developing the connection between BSAs and PDAs: The so-called asymptotic PDA: ϕ asy (x) = 6x(1 x) provides an unacceptably poor description of meson internal structure at all scales which are either currently accessible or foreseeable in experiments. Expected!! evolution with energy scale in QCD is logarithmic. The leading twist PDAs for light-quark mesons are concave functions at all energy scales: Eliminates the possibility of humped distributions. Enables one to obtain the meson s PDA from a very limited number of moments. Jorge Segovia (Argonne National Laboratory) Explanations and Predictions from QCD s DSEs 37/44

Computing PDAs from moments (I) Energy scale dependence of PDA (c.f. DGLAP equations for PDFs): τ d 1 dτ ϕ(x,τ) = dy V(x,y)ϕ(y,τ) 0 This evolution equation has a solution of the form: [ ϕ(x;τ) = ϕ asy (x) 1+ a 3/ j (τ)c (3/) j=1,,... ] j (x 1) QCD is invariant under the collinear conformal group SL(;R) in Q limit. Gegenbauer-α = 3/ polynomials are the irreducible representations of this group. Nonperturbative methods in QCD typically provide access to moments of the PDA: 1 (x x) m τ ϕ = dx (x x) m ϕ(x;τ), x = 1 x 1.5 0 1.0 Accurate approx. to ϕ(x; τ) is obtained by using just first few terms of expansion. 0.5 Leads to ϕ(x) whose behaviour is not concave humped distributions.

Computing PDAs from moments (II) ALTERNATIVE Accept that, at all accessible scales, PDAs determined by nonperturbative dynamics PDAs should be reconstructed from moments by using Gegenbauer polynomials of order α, with this order determined by the moments themselves, not fixed beforehand. j s ] ϕ(x;τ) = N α[x(1 x)] [1+ α 1/ aj α (τ)c (α) j (x 1) j=1,,... Quick convergence only j s = needed for the pion (there is no j s = 1) One may project ϕ(x;τ) onto the asymptotic form a 3/ j (τ) = 3 j +3 (j +)(j +1) 1 0 dx C (3/) j (x 1)ϕ(x;τ), Therewith obtaining all coefficients necessary to represent any computed distribution in the conformal form without ambiguity or difficulty. One may determine the distribution at any τ τ using the ERBL evolution equations for the coefficients {a 3/ j (τ),i = 1,,...}.

Meson PDA moments from Lattice At most two nontrivial moments of ϕ(x) can be computed using numerical simulations of lattice-regularised QCD. Proposed procedure: Reconstruct PDAs from lattice-qcd moments using: ϕ(x) = x α (1 x) β /B(α,β). Valid also for mesons comprised from quarks with nondegenerated masses. Evolving the distribution obtained to another momentum scale: Project the formula onto the asymptotic form. Employ the ERBL evolution equations.

Conclusions The γ N transition form factors Jones-Scadron G p M : G p M falls asymptotically at the same rate as Gp M. Compatible with isospin symmetry and pqcd predictions. Data do not fall unexpectedly rapid once the kinematic relation between Jones-Scadron and Ash conventions is properly account for. R EM and R SM : Limits of pqcd, R EM 1 and R SM constant, are apparent in our calculation but truly asymptotic Q is required before the predictions are realized. Strong diquark correlations within baryons produce a zero in the transition electric quadrupole at Q GeV. The elastic form factors The elastic form factors are very sensitive to m. Lattice-regularised QCD produce -resonance masses that are very large, the form factors obtained therewith should be interpreted carefully. Parton distribution amplitudes (PDAs) The method introduced enables one to obtain a pointwise accurate approximation to meson PDAs from limited moments (information). PDAs of pseudoscalar and vector mesons with (non)-equal-mass valence-quarks are presented. At all energy scales, the PDAs are concave functions whose dilation and asymmetry express the strength of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking.
