Abstract: (arXiv)
We present a calculation of the two-loop splitting functions for the evolution of the twist-2 `transversity' parton densities of transversely polarized nucleons. We study the implications of our results for Soffer's inequality for the case of valence quark densities.- p p: inclusive reaction
- polarization: transverse
- Drell-Yan process
- muon: pair production
- momentum spectrum: parton
- quantum chromodynamics
- perturbation theory: higher-order
- effect: higher-twist
- Mellin transformation
- moment
