Deep Inelastic Structure Functions in a Covariant Spectator Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Deep-inelastic structure functions are studied within a covariant scalar diquark spectator model of the nucleon. Treating the target as a two-body bound state of a quark and a scalar diquark, the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) for the bound state vertex function is solved in the ladder approximation. The valence quark distribution is discussed in terms of the solutions of the BSE.

Structure Functions of the Nucleon in a Covariant Scalar Spectator Model
Nucleon structure functions, as measured in deep-inelastic lepton scattering, are studied within a covariant scalar diquark spectator model. Regarding the nucleon as an approximate two-body bound state of a quark and diquark, the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) for the bound state vertex function is solved in the ladder approximation. The valence quark distribution is discussed in terms of the so...
متن کاملSpin and angular momentum in the nucleon
Using the covariant spectator theory (CST), we present the results of a valence quark-diquark model calculation of the nucleon structure function f(x) measured in unpolarized deep inelastic scattering (DIS), and the structure functions g1(x) and g2(x) measured in DIS using polarized beams and targets. Parameters of the wave functions are adjusted to fit all the data. The fit fixes both the shap...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Neutron Structure Function via Semi-inclusive Deep Inelastic Electron Scattering off the Deuteron
The production of slow nucleons in semi-inclusive deep inelastic electron scattering off the deuteron is investigated in the region x ∼ > 0.3 for kinematical conditions accessible at HERA. Within the spectator mechanism the semi-inclusive cross section exhibits a scaling property, which can be used as a model-independent test of the dominance of the spectator mechanism itself, providing in this...
متن کاملDeuteron Electromagnetic Properties with a Poincaré-covariant Current Operator within Front-form Hamiltonian Dynamics
Deuteron elastic and deep inelastic electromagnetic properties have been studied within the front-form Hamiltonian dynamics, using a Poincaré-covariant current operator. The deuteron elastic form factors are strongly sensitive to different realistic N−N interactions, while the relevance of different nucleon form factor models is huge for A(Q), weak for B(Q) and negligible for the tensor polariz...
متن کاملPoincaré Covariant Current Operator for Deep Inelastic Structure Functions and Deuteron Electromagnetic Properties
In front-form dynamics the current operator can be constructed from auxiliary operators, defined in a Breit frame where initial and final three-momenta of the system are directed along the z axis. Poincaré covariance constraints reduce for auxiliary operators to the ones imposed only by kinematical rotations around the z axis. Elastic and transition form factors can be extracted without any amb...
