Two-loop coefficient functions in deeply virtual Compton scattering: flavor-singlet axial-vector and transversity case
Year: 2023
Type: preprint
Abstract: We calculate the two-loop flavor-singlet axial-vector and gluon transversity coefficient functions for deeply virtual Compton scattering in QCD. We observe interesting properties regarding the transcendentality of the transversity coefficient function. Our results complete the calculation of the full next-to-next-to-leading order coefficient function in deeply virtual Compton scattering. Numerically, the two-loop corrections in the axial-vector and transversity channel are comparable to their vector counterpart at moderate skewness parameter ξ and hence indispensable for analyzing the upcoming high-precision data from the Electron-Ion Collider.
