Quark's gap equation

Let's start by the beginning:

● Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking generates the “constituent-quark” masses

● This is the most important mechanism for the mass generation in our Universe (responsible for around 98 % of the proton mass)

● The effect is realized through the quark's gap equation and is clearly achieved through the pure theory's dynamics (nothing needs to be added to QCD!!)

Then, one can evolve the pion PDF, e.g. the one obtained by direct computation of Mellin moments, by using DGLAP evolution from one unknown hadronic scale up to the relevant one for the E615 experiment:

Conclusions

● The PI effective charge is shown to be equivalent, within the IR domain, to the one which can be defined to get an “exact” (at all order in perturbations) DGLAP evolution for the pion PDF.

● One can define a parameter-free effective charge (completely determined from 2-points gauge sector), with no Landau pole (physical coupling showing an IR fixed point) and smoothly connecting IR and UV domains (no explicit matching procedure)

● It is shown to be in good agreement with the Bjorken-rule effective charge and with the coupling from the light-front holographic model.
