Structure Functions and the Spin of the Nucleon: from Hermes to Compass
نویسنده
چکیده
The HERMES and SMC experiments have determined the contribution of different quark flavors to the nucleon spin in a large range of Bjorken-x via semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. The main goal of the COMPASS experiment is to measure the gluon polarization in the nucleon. In all experiments a polarized lepton is scattered off a polarized nucleon. Latest results from HERMES and perspectives for COMPASS running in 2001 and beyond are presented.

Spin Structure of the Nucleon - Status and Recent Results
After the initial discovery of the so-called " spin crisis in the parton model " in the 1980s, a large set of polarization data in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering was collected at labs like SLAC, DESY and CERN. More recently, new high precision data at large x and in the resonance region have come from experiments at Jefferson Lab. These data, in combination with the earlier ones, allo...

The recent data on the transverse single spin asymmetry A sin(φ h +φ S) UT from HERMES and COMPASS Collaborations are analysed within LO parton model with unintegrated parton distribution and fragmentation functions. A fit of SIDIS data from HERMES Collaboration is performed leading to the extraction of favoured and unfavoured Collins fragmentation functions. A very good description of COMPASS ...
متن کاملRecent developments in nucleon spin structure with focus on h ⊥ 1 L and pretzelosity h ⊥ 1 T
The leading twist transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) h⊥1L and h ⊥ 1T, which is sometimes called “pretzelosity,” are studied. For h⊥1L we consider a “Wandzura–Wilczek-type” approximation, which follows from QCD equations of motion upon the neglect of pure twist-3 terms and allows to express it in terms of transversity. On the basis of available data from HERMES we...

Recent measurements of the spin-dependent deep inelastic scattering structure functions of the nucleon g p;n 1 (x) are presented. Theoretical diiculties with the traditional separation of the total integral ? p;n of the structure functions into contributions from quark avours is discussed. Techniques using the measurements of semi-inclusive asymmetries that allow direct separation of the avour ...
