Polarized Parton Distributions and QCD Analysis
In this talk we summarize main results of a recent determination of the polarized deeply inelastic parton distributions to NLO from the world data. In the analysis the LO and NLO parton densities and their 1σ statistical errors were derived and parameterized. The strong coupling constant αs(M 2 Z) is determined αs(M 2 Z) = 0.113±0.004(stat.)± 0.004(fac.)+0.008/−0.005(ren.) Comparisons of the lo...
متن کاملFinal state interactions and gauge invariant parton distributions
Parton distributions contain factorizable final state interaction effects originating from the fast-moving jet, produced by the highly virtual probe which strikes the active parton in the hadron, interacting with the target spectators. We show that these interactions lead to gauge-invariant transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions in deeply inelastic scattering. As compared to previou...
متن کاملColor transparency in deeply inelastic diffraction
We suggest a simple physical picture for the diffractive parton distributions that appear in diffractive deeply inelastic scattering. In this picture, partons impinging on the proton can have any transverse separation, but only when the separation is small can they penetrate the proton without breaking it up. By comparing the predictions from this picture with the diffractive data from HERA, we...
متن کاملCharm quark and D∗± cross sections in deeply inelastic scattering at HERA
A next-to-leading order Monte Carlo program for the calculation of heavy quark cross sections in deeply inelastic scattering is described. Concentrating on charm quark and D(2010) production at HERA, several distributions are presented and their variation with respect to charm quark mass, parton distribution set, and renormalization/factorization scale is studied. PACS number(s): 12.38.Bx,13.60...
متن کاملThe Status of the Polarized Parton Densities
Deeply inelastic scattering provides a clean way to extract the parton densities of nucleons. After the initial observation that the nucleon spin is not formed by the quarks dominantly [1], detailed measurements of the polarized structure functions followed during the last 20 years. The central question concerns now the parton distribution functions and their scale evolution rather than just th...
