Many-body theory interpretation of deep inelastic scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze data on deep inelastic scattering of electrons from the proton using ideas from standard many-body theory involving bound constituents subject to interactions. This leads us to expect, at large threemomentum transfer q, scaling in terms of the variable ỹ = ν − |q|. The response at constant |q| scales well in this variable. Interaction effects are manifestly displayed in this approach. They are illustrated in two examples.

Scaling in many-body systems and proton response
The observation of scaling in processes in which a weakly interacting probe delivers large momentum q to a many-body system reflects the dominance of incoherent scattering off target constituents. While a suitably defined scaling function can provide rich information on the internal dynamics of the target, in general its extraction from the measured cross section requires careful consideration ...

New results from inelastic two-body scattering reactions are reviewed. Although predictions of SU(3), factorization and simple Regge theory are found to be qualitatively in agreement with the data, direct channel or absorption effects afford the simplest interpretation of the detailed features of the scattering amplitudes.

متن کاملA Different View of Deep Inelastic Electron-proton Scattering
Deep inelastic electron-proton scattering is analyzed in the target rest frame using a theoretical approach suitable to describe many-body systems of bound constituents subject to interactions. At large three-momentum transfer |q|, this approach predicts the onset of scaling in the variable ỹ = ν-|q|, where ν denotes the energy transfer. The present analysis shows that the data, plotted at cons...

The perturbative QCD predictions concerning deep inelastic scattering at low x are summarized. The theoretical framework based on the leading log 1/x resumma-tion and k t factorization theorem is described. The role of studying final states in deep inelastic scattering for revealing the details of the underlying dynamics at low x is emphasised and some dedicated measurements, like deep inelasti...
