Nuclear higher-twist effects in eA DIS
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the relation between the treatments of the higher twist nuclear effects in eA DIS based on the pQCD collinear approximation and the light-cone path integral formalism. We show that in the collinear approximation the N =1 rescattering contribution to the gluon emission vanishes. It is demonstrated that the nonzero gluon spectrum obtained by Guo, Wang and Zhang is a consequence of unjustified neglect of some terms in the collinear expansion.

The chirally-odd twist-3 distribution e(x)
Properties of the nucleon twist-3 distribution function ea(x) are reviewed. It is emphasized that the QCD equations of motion imply the existence of a δ-function at x = 0 in ea(x), which gives rise to the pion-nucleon sigma-term. According to the resulting “practical” DIS sum rules the first and the second moment of ea(x) vanish, a situation analogue to that of the pure twist-3 distribution fun...
متن کامل2 00 8 Failure of the collinear expansion in calculation of the induced gluon emission
We demonstrate that the collinear expansion fails in the case of gluon emission from a fast quark produced in eA DIS. In this approximation the N=1 rescattering contribution to the gluon spectrum vanishes. We show that the higher-twist approach by Guo, Wang and Zhang [4, 5] based on the collinear expansion is wrong. The nonzero gluon spectrum obtained in [4, 5] is a consequence of unjustified n...

متن کاملParton Distributions at High X
We extract the ratio of the down (d) and up (u) parton distribution functions (PDF’s) from the ratio of NMC deuteron and proton structure function F d 2 /F p 2 , using corrections for nuclear binding effects in the deuteron, which are extracted from the nuclear dependence of SLAC F2 data. Significant corrections to the d quark distribution in standard PDF’s are required, especially at high x. T...
