Q-evolution of Spin-dependent Parton Densities
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the NLO evolution of quark transversity densities and of the parton distribution function for linearly polarized gluons in a linearly polarized hadron. A supersymmetric relation between the NLO evolution kernels for transversity and for linear polarization is found. We also study the implications of NLO evolution for Soffer’s inequality and the prospects of measuring transversity densities in polarized Drell–Yan at RHIC.

Phenomenological Approach to Unpolarized and Polarized Parton Distributions and Experimental Tests
We recall our recent description of quark parton densities of the proton at Q = 4GeV 2 in terms of Fermi-Dirac distributions parametrized with very few free parameters. We have also proposed some simple assumptions to relate unpolarized and polarized quark parton densities which lead to a fair description of the spin-dependent structure functions xg 1(x,Q ) and xg 1 (x,Q ) at low Q. We will sho...
متن کاملProbing the parton densities of polarized photons at a linear e+e− collider
The present theoretical status of spin-dependent parton densities ∆f(x, Q) of circularly polarized photons is briefly reviewed. It is then demonstrated that measurements of the deep-inelastic spin asymmetry Aγ1 ≃ gγ 1 /F γ 1 and of di-jet rapidity distributions at a future linear e e collider appear to be particularly suited for a determination the spin-dependent photonic quark and gluon densit...
متن کاملParton Content of Polarized Photons: Theoretical Status and Experimental Prospects
The theoretical framework for a next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the spin-dependent parton densities ∆f(x,Q) of the longitudinally polarized photon and of its structure function g 1 (x,Q ) is reviewed in some detail. Special emphasis is given to the specific features of different factorization schemes. Two conceivable scenarios for the polarized parton densities ∆f(x,Q) are introduced, whi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Positivity Constraints on Polarized Parton Densities
The impact of positivity constraints on the polarized parton densities has been studied. Special attention has been paid to the role of positivity constraints in determining the polarized strange quark and gluon densities, which are not well determined from the present data on inclusive polarized DIS. Spurred on by the famous European Muon Collaboration (EMC) experiment [1] at CERN in 1987, the...
متن کاملNext-to-leading-order radiative parton model analysis of polarized deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering.
A next-to-leading order QCD analysis of spin asymmetries and structure functions in polarized deep inelastic lepton nucleon scattering is presented within the framework of the radiative parton model. A consistent NLO formulation of theQ-evolution of polarized parton distributions yields two sets of plausible NLO spin dependent parton distributions in the conventional MS factorization scheme.
