Naively, helicity flip amplitudes for fermions seem to vanish in the chiral limit of light-front QCD, which would make it nearly impossible to generate a small pion mass in this framework. Using a simple model, it is illustrated how a large helicity flip amplitude is generated dynamically by summing over an infinite number of Fock space components. While the kinetic mass is basically generated by a zero-mode induced counter-term, the vertex mass is generated dynamically by infinitesimally small, but nonzero, momenta. Implications for the renormalization of light-front Hamiltonians for fermions are discussed.

  1. Gluon skewed generalized parton distributions of proton from a light-front Hamiltonian approach

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using light-front wave functions with one dynamical gluon, the authors obtain all leading-twist gluon GPDs of the proton at nonzero skewness and find diffraction-like patterns in longitudinal position space.
