Title Transverse charge and current densities in the nucleon from dispersively improved chiral effective field theory
Abstract Background: The transverse densities rho_{1, 2}(b) describe the distributions of electric charge and magnetic moment at fixed light-front time and connect the nucleon's elastic form factors with its partonic structure. The dispersive representation of the form factors F_{1, 2}(t) expresses the densities in terms of exchanges of hadronic states in the t-channel and permits their analysis using hadronic physics methods. Purpose: Compute the densities at peripheral distances b = O(M_pi^{-1}), where they are generated predominantly by the two-pion states in the dispersive representation. Quantify the uncertainties. Methods: Dispersively improved chiral effective field theory (DIXEFT) is used to calculate the isovector spectral functions Im F_{1, 2}(t) on the two-pion cut. The method includes pi-pi interactions (rho resonance) through elastic unitarity and provides realistic spectral functions up to t ~ 1 GeV^2. Higher-mass states are parametrized by effective poles and constrained by
