Off-shell Corrections and Moments of the Deep Inelastic Nuclear Structure Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an improved method of handling off-shell effects in deep inelastic nuclear scattering. With a firm understanding of the effects of the nuclear wavefunction, including these off-shell corrections as well as binding effects and nucleon-nucleon correlations, we can begin to examine the role of QCD in nuclei through an analysis of the moments of the nuclear inelastic structure function FA 2 . Our analysis is aimed on one side at extracting the Q 2 dependence of the moments of the nucleon structure function by using the recent high x world Iron data and by properly subtracting nuclear effects from the perturbative contribution. On the other side we compare quantitatively the behavior of the extracted moments with a simple O(1/Q2) phenomenological form and we determine the mass term for this parametrization.

Nuclear structure functions and off-shell corrections
The n-th moments of the nuclear structure function FA 2 (x,Q 2) are analyzed using the off-shell kinematics appropriate to describe deep inelastic electron-nucleus scattering within the impulse approximation. It is shown that off-shell effects are sensitive to the form of both the nuclear spectral function and the nucleon structure function FN 2 (x,Q 2), and can be as large as ∼ 10% at Q2 ∼ 2 (...
متن کاملNuclear Effects In The F3 Structure Function For Finite And Asymptotic Q
We study nuclear effects in the structure function F3 which describes the parity violating part of the charged-current neuitrino nucleon deep inelastic scattering. Starting from a covariant approach we derive a factorized expression for the nuclear structure function in terms of nuclear spectral function and off-shell nucleon structure functions valid for arbitrary momentum transfer Q and in th...
متن کاملRelativistic View on the Nuclear Effects in the Deep Inelastic Scattering on Deutron
We analyze nuclear effects in the deep inelastic scattering on deuteron in the framework of the covariant approach. It is shown that this approach gives us the way to investigate the role of relativistic effects in the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) on deuteron, such as the relativistic kinematics and the off-mass-shell behavior of the Compton amplitude of nucleon in the consistent manner. We ...
متن کاملApplications of KP Nuclear Parton Distributions
We review the nuclear parton distribution functions computed on the basis of our microscopic model taking into account a number of nuclear effects including Fermi motion and nuclear binding, nuclear meson-exchange currents, off-shell corrections to bound nucleon distributions and nuclear shadowing. We discuss applications to a number of different processes including leptonnucleus deep inelastic...
متن کاملPolarized deep-inelastic scattering from nuclei: A relativistic approach.
We discuss spin-dependent, deep-inelastic scattering from nuclei within a co-variant framework. In the relativistic impulse approximation this is described in terms of the amplitude for forward, virtual-photon scattering from an off-mass-shell nucleon. The general structure of the off-shell nucleon hadronic tensor is derived, and the leading behavior of the off-shell nucleon structure functions...
