Positivity Constraints on Quark and Gluon Distributions in QCD (1978)


Abstract

Arguments are given that quark and gluon momentum distributions generated by asymptotic freedom formulae from distributions which are positive at remain positive for . For they inevitably become negative. Momentum distributions at should be chosen so that this occurs only for very small . This constrains the partition of momentum between the quarks and gluons and the shapes of their momentum distributions.
