Polarized deuteron structure functions at small x ∗

چکیده
We investigate shadowing corrections to the polarized deuteron structure functions g d 1 and b 1. In the kinematic domain of current fixed target experiments we observe that shadowing effects in g d 1 are approximately twice as large as for the unpolarized structure function F d 2. Furthermore, we find that b 1 is surprisingly large at x < 0.1 and receives dominant contributions from coherent double scattering.

Nuclear shadowing in polarized DIS on 6 LiD at small x and its effect on the extraction of the deuteron spin structure function
Nuclear shadowing in polarized DIS on 6 LiD at small x and its effect on the extraction of the deuteron spin structure function g d 1 (x, Q 2) Abstract We consider the effect of nuclear shadowing in polarized deep inelastic scattering (DIS) on 6 LiD at small Bjorken x and its relevance to the extraction of the deuteron spin structure function g d 1 (x, Q 2). Using models, which describe nuclear...
متن کاملDeuteron Spin Structure Functions at Small Bjorken - x †
We investigate polarized deuteron structure functions at small values of the Bjorken variable, x < 0.1. In this region contributions from the coherent interaction of diffractively excited hadronic states with both nucleons become important. A proper treatment of this process requires an extension of the Glauber-Gribov multiple scattering theory to include spin degrees of freedom. In the kinemat...
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 کاملPossible Studies of Parton Distributions at JHF : polarized pd Drell - Yan process
We discuss possible studies of parton distributions at the proposed 50-GeV PS facility. First, comments are given in general on the importance of large-x physics for finding new physics. Second, polarized deuteron reactions are discussed in connection with new structure functions which are specific for a spin-1 hadron. Third, if the polarized proton-deuteron Drell-Yan process is studied at the ...
متن کاملStructure functions in polarized proton-deuteron Drell-Yan processes
Polarized proton-deuteron (pd) Drell-Yan processes are investigated for studying new spin structure of a spin-1 hadron. Our formalism indicates that there exist many structure functions: 108 in general and 22 in the QT-integrated case. A naive parton model suggests that at least one of them should be related to the tensor polarized distributions, which have not been measured at all. There are s...
