Quantum Statistics and Parton Distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel approach to parton distributions parameterization in terms of quantum statistical functions is here outlined. The description, already proposed in previous publications, is here improved by adding to the statistical distributions an unpolarized liquid component. This new contribution to fermion partons is able to reproduce the expected low x behaviour of structure functions. The analysis provides a satisfactory description of polarized and unpolarized deep inelastic data and shows a possible connection between the Gottfried and Bjorken sum rules. ∗Contributed paper to 17th International Symposium on Lepton-Photon Interactions, August 10-15, 1995, Beijing, China

Quantum statistics and Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations
The phenomenological evidence of quantum statistical effects in parton physics is here briefly summarized, and the recent good results obtained by parameterizing the parton distributions in terms of Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistical functions are discussed. In this framework we study the modification of the scaling behaviour of parton distributions due to quantum statistical effects. In...
متن کاملGeneralized Parton Distributions
■ Abstract This review explains why generalized parton distributions and the related quantum phase-space distributions are useful in exploring the quark and gluon structure of the proton and neutron. It starts with the physics of form factors and parton distributions. Then quantum phase-space distributions and their offspring are discussed. The properties of generalized parton distributions are...
متن کاملPolarized parton distributions and non-leading reggeons
The small x behaviour of polarized parton distributions is related to non-leading reggeons in the framework of the high-energy effective action. Double-logarithmic contributions to the reggeon interaction beyond the ones included in the GLAP equation are encountered in all polarized parton distributions. The transversity distributions of quarks and gluons behave similar at small x. 1 Parton dis...
متن کاملProton spin structure from measurable parton distributions.
We present a systematic study of the proton spin structure in terms of measurable parton distributions. For a transversely polarized proton, we derive a polarization sum rule from the leading generalized parton distributions appearing in hard exclusive processes. For a longitudinally polarized proton, we obtain a helicity decomposition from well-known quark and gluon helicity distributions and ...
متن کاملUnraveling hadron structure with generalized parton distributions
The generalized parton distributions, introduced nearly a decade ago, have emerged as a universal tool to describe hadrons in terms of quark and gluonic degrees of freedom. They combine the features of form factors, parton densities and distribution amplitudes—the functions used for a long time in studies of hadronic structure. Generalized parton distributions are analogous to the phase-space W...
