Applications of KP Nuclear Parton Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. We discuss applications to a number of different processes including leptonnucleus deep inelastic scattering, proton-nucleus Drell-Yan lepton pair production at Fermilab, as well as W± and Z0 boson production in proton-lead collisions at the LHC.

Parametrization of Nuclear Parton Distributions
Optimum nuclear parton distributions are obtained by analyzing available experimental data on electron and muon deep inelastic scattering (DIS). The distributions are given at Q 2 =1 GeV 2 with a number of parameters, which are determined by a χ 2 analysis of the data. Valence-quark distributions are relatively well determined at medium x, but they are slightly dependent on the assumed parametr...
متن کاملSAGA-HE-170-01, TMU-NT-01-01 Determination of nuclear parton distributions
Parametrization of nuclear parton distributions is investigated in the leading order of αs. The parton distributions are provided at Q=1 GeV with a number of parameters, which are determined by a χ analysis of the data on nuclear structure functions. Quadratic or cubic functional form is assumed for the initial distributions. Although valence quark distributions in the medium x region are relat...
متن کاملThe Scale Dependent Nuclear Effects in Parton Distributions for Practical Applications
The scale dependence of the ratios of parton distributions in a proton of a nucleus A and in the free proton, R i (x,Q ) = fi/A(x,Q )/fi(x,Q ), is studied within the framework of the lowest order leading-twist DGLAP evolution. By evolving the initial nuclear distributions obtained with the GRV-LO and CTEQ4L sets at a scale Q0, we show that the ratios R i (x,Q ) are only moderately sensitive to ...
متن کاملStudies of parton distributions at a neutrino factory
The determination of parton distribution functions in the nucleon and nuclei is important for obtaining precise hadron-reaction cross sections, from which any new exotic signature could be found. We show that a future neutrino factory could provide important information on the parton distributions. First, a recent effort concerning the parametrization of nuclear parton distributions is explaine...
متن کاملParton Distributions in Nuclei
We discuss two topics in this talk. One is a brief overview of nuclear parton distributions, and the other is SU(2)-flavor-symmetry breaking in nuclear antiquark distributions. First, we show that nuclear structure functions F 2 (x) could be explained in a Q rescaling model with parton recombination effects. Then, nuclear gluon distributions are discussed in this parton model. We point out othe...
