Spin Physics in Deep Inelastic Scattering A
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of our understanding of the spin structure of the nucleon has been with us since the publication of the EMC measurements of the polarised structure function of the proton in 1987. In this talk a brief history of the subject is given followed by a review of the results presented in this workshop and the progress made to date.

The Full Spin Structure of Quarks in the Nucleon
We discuss bounds on the distribution and fragmentation functions that appear at leading order in deep inelastic 1-particle inclusive leptoproduction or in Drell-Yan processes. These bounds simply follow from positivity of the quarkhadron scattering matrix elements and are an important guide in estimating the magnitude of the azimuthal and spin asymmetries in these processes. We focus on an exa...
متن کاملProposals for Measuring Transversity Distributions in Deep Inelastic Electron Scattering and a Model for E-704 Asymmetries
We present the principles of the measurement of the quark transversity distributions in semi-inclusive deep inelastic electron scattering, which form the basis of HELP and one of the ELFE proposals. A string model for Collins-type asymmetry in polarized quark fragmentation function is proposed. A possible role of the Collins effect in the single spin asymmetries observed by experiment E 704 at ...
متن کاملPolarized deep-inelastic scattering from nuclei: A relativistic approach.
We discuss spin-dependent, deep-inelastic scattering from nuclei within a co-variant framework. In the relativistic impulse approximation this is described in terms of the amplitude for forward, virtual-photon scattering from an off-mass-shell nucleon. The general structure of the off-shell nucleon hadronic tensor is derived, and the leading behavior of the off-shell nucleon structure functions...
متن کاملNovel QCD Phenomena in Deep Inelastic Lepton Scattering
I discuss several novel phenomenological features of QCD which are observable in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon and lepton-nucleus scattering. Initialand final-state interactions from gluon exchange, normally neglected in the parton model, have a profound effect on QCD hard-scattering reactions, leading to leading-twist single-spin asymmetries, the diffractive contribution to deep inelastic scat...
متن کاملDeep Inelastic Scattering of Polarized Electrons off Polarized He: Nuclear Effects and the Neutron Spin Structure Functions
Nuclear effects in Deep Inelastic Scattering of polarized electrons off polarized 3He are analyzed in terms of a spin dependent spectral function taking into account S′ and D waves in 3He, as well as Fermi motion and binding effects. A simple and reliable equation relating the neutron and 3He spin structure functions is proposed. The spin structure functions (SSF) of the nucleon g 1 and g N 2 p...
متن کاملTransverse Spin Physics at Hermes
HERMES has measured azimuthal single-spin asymmetries of charged pions produced in deep-inelastic scattering of positrons on a transversely polarised hydrogen target. The presented azimuthal moments provide access to two yet unknown quark distribution functions, the transversity distribution function δq and the Sivers function f ⊥ 1T .
