The spin structure of a polarized photon

Abstract: We show that the first moment of the spin-dependent structure function g γ 1 (x, Q 2 ) of a real photon vanishes independent of the momentum transfer Q 2 it is probed with. This result is non-perturbative: it holds to all orders in perturbation theory in abelian and non-abelian gauge theory and at every twist.

“…This expectation is based also on the decoupling of gluon axial anomaly from two real photons. Thus, the photon contribution to the axial charge vanishes on-shell, and the first moment of spin-dependent structure function of photon g γ 1 becomes zero as well [43,44] 7 . However, X(1835) should couple to heavy vector currents, i.e.…”

“…We have shown g γ 1 (x, Q 2 , P 2 ) in Fig.3, where the NLO g γ 1 corresponds to the solid line, for n f = 3, Q 2 = 30 GeV 2 and P 2 = 1 GeV 2 with Λ = 0.2 GeV. For a real photon (P 2 = 0), the 1st moment vanishes to all orders of α s (Q 2 ) in QCD [ 8]:…”
