Analytic Evolution of Parton Distribution Functions

POSTER

Abstract

We apply an analytic method to describe the evolution of parton distribution functions (PDF). Previously, it was shown that this method successfully describes the evolution of singular distribution amplitudes in the DGLAP region. We illustrate the method by applying it to a PDF in the form of $(1-x)^3$. Our approach has advantages over the widely used numerical and analytic methods which mostly require great computational power and computational time. It is observed in our method, that calculation of one or two iterations is enough to describe the evolution of PDFs.
