Hadron production in deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
Predictions for semi-inclusive deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering are presented. Both the effects of gluon radiation by the struck quark and the absorption of the produced hadron are considered. The gluon radiation covers a larger window in virtuality Q2 because of the increased deconfinement of quarks inside nuclei. The absorption of hadrons formed inside the nucleus is described with a flavor dependent cross section. Calculations for rescaled fragmentation functions and nuclear absorption are compared with the EMC and HERMES data for N, Cu and Kr targets with respect to the deuteron target. Predictions for Ne and Xe targets in the HERMES kinematic regime are given.

Atomic Mass Dependence of Hadron Production in Deep Inelastic Scattering on Nuclei
Hadron production in lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering is studied in an absorption model. In the proposed model, the early stage of hadronization in the nuclear medium is dominated by prehadron formation and absorption, controlled by flavor-dependent formation lengths and absorption cross sections. Computations for hadron multiplicity ratios are presented and compared with the HERMES exp...

We present a QCD calculation of the coherent multiple scattering effect on single hadron production in semi-inclusive lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering (DIS). We show that the destructive interference of coherent multiple scattering leads to suppression in hadron productions. The suppression is similar to the expectations of energy loss calculations. We compare our calculation with exper...
متن کاملHadron Multiplicity in Semi-Inclusive Lepton-Nucleon and Lepton-Nucleus Scattering
We discuss multi-hadron production in both inelastic neutrino-nucleon interactions in the current fragmentation region and neutrino-nucleus collisions in the target fragmentation region. Our analysis, carried out within the framework of the quark-gluon string model, is mainly focused on the difference between these two processes. We show that the Q dependence of hadron multiplicity in the curre...

We review the nuclear parton distribution functions computed on the basis of our microscopic model taking into account a number of nuclear effects including Fermi motion and nuclear binding, nuclear meson-exchange currents, off-shell corrections to bound nucleon distributions and nuclear shadowing.

متن کاملConfinement and the Transverse Lattice∗
Deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering has played a fundamental role in the investigation of hadron structure. For example, the discovery of Bjorken scaling confirmed the existence of point-like charged objects inside the nucleon (quarks). Besides such fundamental discoveries, deep inelastic scattering (DIS) revealed surprising and interesting details about the structure of nucleons and nuclei...
