INCLUSIVE ELECTRON SCATTERING FROM NUCLEI: y SCALING AND FINAL STATE INTERACTION
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent TJLAB experimental data on inclusive electron scattering at high momentum transfer from complex nuclei are analyzed in terms of y scaling, taking into account the final state interaction (FSI) of the struck, off-shell nucleon. It is shown that at large negative values of y (x > 1), the Q2 dependence of the FSI is mostly driven by the elastic nucleon-nucleon cross section, and that, as a result, the scaling function decreases with Q2, in agreement with experimental data. ∗Permanent address: Department of Physics, University of Perugia, and Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Sezione di Perugia, Via A.

Inclusive Inelastic Electron Scattering from Nuclei
Inclusive electron scattering from nuclei at large x and Q2 is the result of a reaction mechanism that includes both quasi–elastic scattering from nucleons and deep inelastic scattering from the quark consitituents of the nucleons. Data in this regime can be used to study a wide variety of topics, including the extraction of nuclear momentum distributions, the influence of final state interacti...
متن کاملy scaling in electron-nucleus scattering.
The nuclear response function measured by inclusive quasielastic electron-nucleus scattering is an important observable in the study of the wave function of the bound nuclear system and the properties of its constituents. In the impulse approximation (lA) it relates the inclusive cross sections to the free electron-nucleon cross sections aep and a en• and to the spectral function 1 p(k, E) whic...

High-quality predictions for neutrino-nucleus cross sections are needed for use in ongoing experimental studies of neutrino oscillations at GeV energies, where a fully relativistic treatment of the neutrino-nucleus scattering is mandatory, but hard to achieve. Of course any reliable calculation for neutrino scattering should first be tested against electron scattering in the same kinemati-cal c...
متن کاملInclusive Jet Production in DIS at High Q and Extraction of the Strong Coupling
Jet production in neutral current (NC) deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at HERA provides an important testing ground for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The Born contribution in DIS gives only indirect information on the strong coupling αs via scaling violations of the proton structure functions. At leading order (LO) in αs additional processes contribute: QCD-Compton and boson-gluon fusion. In th...
متن کاملTesting Quantum Chromodynamics in Electroproductjon
Deep inelastic lepton nucleon scattering has been’one of the key testing grounds of QCD over the past two decades. Measurements of the nucleon and nuclear structure functions have not only tested the short-distance properties of the theory, (such as the scaling properties of structure functions and their logarithmic evolution with momentum transfer), but they have also illuminated the nonpertur...
