Probing dissociation of space - like photons in deep - inelastic lepton - nucleon scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the hadronic dissociation of space-like (Q > 0) photons can be directly probed by performing measurements in the fragmentation region of transversely polarized and unpolarized proton beams at the electron-proton collider HERA. Measurements of momentum-distributions in the photon-fragmentation region in normal and in LRG (large rapidity gap) events are also suggested — especially when the scattered proton or neutron in the proton-beam direction is tagged. It is pointed out that such distributions can yield useful information on the mechanisms of hadronic fragmentation in general, and answer the following questions in particular: Is the well-known hypothesis of limiting fragmentation (HFL) valid in color-exchange, in flavor-exchange, or only in vacuum-quantum-number-exchange processes ?

Bremsstrahlung in weak charged current polarized lepton - nucleon deep inelastic scattering
The processes of lepton-nucleon scattering, including ones with both polarized beams, at high energy provide relevant information about interaction and particles structure, allowing to analyze nucleon spin structure. As energy and experimental accuracy rise, necessity to improve Born cross sections and polarized asymmetries with higher order radiative corrections becomes substantial. In this re...

This report presents the latest results on structure functions, as available at the Lepton-Photon Symposium 1999. It focuses on three experimental areas: new structure function measurements, in particular from HERA at low x and high Q2; results on light and heavy flavor densities; and determinations of the gluon distribution and of αs . As the talk was delivered at a historic moment and place, ...

In inclusive deep-inelastic lepton-hadron scattering multi-photon exchange between the leptonic and the hadronic part of the process causes single spin asymmetries. The asymmetries exist for a polarized target as well as a polarized incoming or outgoing lepton, if the polarization vector has a component transverse with respect to the reaction plane. The spin dependent parts of the single polari...
