Spin Structure Measurements from E155 at Slac
نویسنده
چکیده
The E155 collaboration at SLAC has collected precise polarized deep inelastic scattering data which will provide further insights into the structure of the nucleon. The SLAC 48.3 GeV electron beam was used to obtain data from both proton and deuteron targets covering 0:01 < x < 0:9 and 1(GeV=c)2 < Q2 < 40(GeV=c)2. E155 is the first high dose electron scattering experiment to use lithium deuteride (6Li2H) as a target material. Supported by DOE Contract DE–AC03–76F00515. c 1998 by Lee Sorrell.

Results and Interpretations of the Spin Structure Experiments at Slac
In the recent experiments E154 and E155 at SLAC the spin-dependent structure functions g 1 , g p 1, and g d 1 of the neutron, proton, and deuteron were measured by scattering longitudinally polarized 48:3 GeV electrons o longitudinally polarized targets. We report on the measurement of g 1 by E154, and on the preliminary results on g p 1 from E155. The SLAC results provide the most precise dete...

The E155 experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has performed a precision measurementof the proton and deuteron spin structure function g 1 using deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons on polarized 15 NH 3 and 6 LiD. g d 1 (x)dx = 0:034 0:002(stat) 0:005(syst) at an average Q 2 = 5 GeV 2 .These preliminary results are in reasonably good agreement with previous dat...
متن کاملSpin Structure Functions g1 and g2 for the Proton and Deuteron
The experiment E155 at SLAC measured the spin structure functions g1 and g2 of the proton and deuteron. The experiment used deep inelastic scattering of 48.3 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons incident on polarized solid 15NH3 and LiD targets. The data taken by three independent spectrometers covered a kinematic range of 0.014 < x < 0.9 and 1 (GeV/c) < Q < 40 (GeV/c). Due to the high lumino...
متن کاملPolarized Parton Densities in the Nucleon
We present a new NLO QCD analysis of the world data on inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering. Comparing to our previous analysis: i) the values of gA and a8 = 3F −D are updated ii)the MRST’99 instead of the MRST’98 parametrization for the input unpolarized parton densities is used and iii) the recent SLAC E155 proton data on the spin asymmetry A1 are included in the analysis. A new set ...
متن کاملRecent status of polarized parton distributions
We study an influence of precise data on uncertainty of polarized parton distribution functions. This analysis includes the SLAC-E155 proton target data which are precise measurements. Polarized PDF uncertainties are estimated by using the Hessian matrix. We examine correlation effect between the antiquark and gluon uncertainties. It suggests that reducing the gluon uncertainty is needed to det...
