Global analysis of AAC for determining polarized parton distribution functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report global analysis results for polarized parton distribution functions in the nucleon. The optimum distributions are determined by using spin asymmetry data on polarized lepton scattering on proton, neutron, and deuteron. Their uncertainties are estimated by the Hessian method. As a result, polarized quark distributions are relatively well determined, whereas the polarized gluon distribution has a large uncertainty band. We find that the obtained gluon distribution is compatible with recent ∆g/g measurements in high-pT hadron productions.

Aac Analysis of Polarized Parton Distributions with Uncertainties
We report recent studies of the Asymmetry Analysis Collaboration (AAC) on polarized parton distribution functions (PDFs). Using the data on the spin symmetry A 1 in deep inelastic lepton scattering, we investigate optimum polarized PDFs. Their uncertainties are estimated by the Hessian method. The uncertainties are large for the polarized antiquark and gluon distributions. We discuss the role o...
متن کاملDetermination of polarized parton distribution functions and their uncertainties
We investigate the polarized parton distribution functions (PDFs) and their uncertainties by using the world data on the spin asymmetry A1. The uncertainties of the polarized PDFs are estimated by the Hessian method. The up and down valence-quark distributions are determined well. However, the antiquark distributions have large uncertainties at this stage, and it is particularly difficult to fi...
متن کاملParametrization of polarized parton distributions
We report the polarized parton distributions proposed by the Asymmetry Analysis Collaboration (AAC). Using parametrized distributions at Q 2 =1 GeV 2 and measured A1 data, we determine optimum polarized distributions in the leading order (LO) and next-to-leading order (NLO). We find that the polarized antiquark distribution is not well determined particularly at small x. It could lead to a rath...
متن کاملTowards a global analysis of polarized parton distributions
We present a technique for implementing in a fast way, and without any approximations, higher-order calculations of partonic cross sections into global analyses of parton distribution functions. The approach, which is set up in Mellin-moment space, is particularly suited for analyses of future data from polarized proton-proton collisions, but not limited to this case. The usefulness and practic...
متن کاملParametrization of polarized parton distribution functions
Polarized parton distribution functions are determined by using asymmetry A 1 data from longitudinally polarized deep inelastic scattering experiments. From our χ 2 analysis, polarized u-valence, d-valence, antiquark, and gluon distributions are obtained. We propose one set of leading-order distributions and two sets of next-to-leading-order ones as the longitudinally-polarized parton distribut...
