Parametrization of polarized parton distribution functions
نویسنده
چکیده
Polarized parton distribution functions are determined by using asymmetry A 1 data from longitudinally polarized deep inelastic scattering experiments. From our χ 2 analysis, polarized u-valence, d-valence, antiquark, and gluon distributions are obtained. We propose one set of leading-order distributions and two sets of next-to-leading-order ones as the longitudinally-polarized parton distribution functions.

A New Parametrization of Polarized Parton Distribution Functions
Recently there has been renewed interest on polarized parton distributions in the nucleon, largely stimulated by the development of the next-to leading order(NLO) QCD calculations of polarized parton distribution functions and acquisition of high-precision polarized data on various targets. In this work, requiring reasonable physical conditions, (1)the positivity condition and (2) the counting ...
متن کاملDetermination of polarized parton distribution functions
We study parametrization of polarized parton distribution functions in the αs leading order (LO) and in the next-to-leading order (NLO). From χ fitting to the experimental data on A1, optimum polarized distribution functions are determined. The quark spin content ∆Σ is very sensitive to the small-x behavior of antiquark distributions which suggests that small-x data are needed for precise deter...

Polarized parton distribution functions are determined by using world data from the longitudinally polarized deep inelastic scattering experiments. A new parametrization of the parton distribution functions is adopted by taking into account the positivity and the counting rule. From the fit to the asymmetry data A1, the polarized distribution functions of u and d valence quarks, sea quarks, and...
متن کاملAac Analysis of Polarized Parton Distributions with Uncertainties
We report recent studies of the Asymmetry Analysis Collaboration (AAC) on polarized parton distribution functions (PDFs). Using the data on the spin symmetry A 1 in deep inelastic lepton scattering, we investigate optimum polarized PDFs. Their uncertainties are estimated by the Hessian method. The uncertainties are large for the polarized antiquark and gluon distributions. We discuss the role o...
متن کاملParametrization of polarized parton distributions
We report the polarized parton distributions proposed by the Asymmetry Analysis Collaboration (AAC). Using parametrized distributions at Q 2 =1 GeV 2 and measured A1 data, we determine optimum polarized distributions in the leading order (LO) and next-to-leading order (NLO). We find that the polarized antiquark distribution is not well determined particularly at small x. It could lead to a rath...
