Do Quark Mass Effects Survive in the High-Q Limit of DIS?
نویسنده
چکیده
Quark mass effects are analyzed at high Q in the current fragmentation region of DIS. It is found that the linear combination F2 − 2.75F c 2 scales at large Q and small x. We obtained a lower bound for the ratio F c 2/F2 which lies very close to the data from HERA.

The Black Body Limit in Deep Inelastic Scattering
We use information from DIS and the two gluon nucleon form factor to estimate the impact parameter amplitude of hadronic configurations in the dipole model of DIS. We demonstrate that only a small fraction of the total γN cross section at x ∼ 10 is due to scattering that occurs near the black body limit. We also make comparisons with other models and we point out that a quark mass of . 100 MeV ...
متن کاملCurrent Issues in Heavy Quark Production
Consider the effect of a charm quark (with mass m) being produced in neutral current DIS. For simplicity we concentrate on virtual photon exchange and neglect the bottom quark. Precise data are now available on F2(x,Q ). In pQCD the operator product expansion and asymptotic freedom allow one to calculate the scaling violations. This is incorporated in the factorization theorem where short dista...
متن کاملNon Universality of Structure Functions and Measurement of the Strange Sea Density
We show that there is no real conflict between the two determinations of the strange sea density from the opposite–sign dimuon production and from the difference of the F2 structure functions measured in neutrino and muon deep inelastic scattering. Once non universal sea parton densities are introduced, which take into account the effects of different mass thresholds and different longitudinal ...
متن کاملBFKL: a minireview
We summarize the state of the art of resummation techniques in the small-x limit of perturbative QCD. THE BFKL RESUMMATION Hard strong-interaction processes are characterised by a large scale, e.g. the center-of-mass energy in ee → qq̄, the dilepton invariant mass in Drell-Yan production, the momentum transfer Q in DIS, the jet transverse energy in hadronic jet production. Calculations are perfo...
متن کاملIs Nucleon Spin Structure Inconsistent with Constituent Quark Model?
Hadron structure studies might be traced back to Fermi-Yang [1] and Sakata models [2]. Gell-Mann [3] and Zweig [4] proposed the quark model of hadrons. Lepton-nucleon deep inelastic scattering (DIS) [5] verified the quark structure of hadrons. However the quark revealed in DIS is found to be different from the quark as a carrier of SU(3) symmetry in Gell-Mann-Zweig model. The former is almost a...
