Probing the Nucleon at Large Momentum Transfer
نویسنده
چکیده
The central role of soft nucleon matrix elements in reactions of high energy electrons or real photons with nucleons is emphasized. These soft matrix elements are described in terms of skewed parton distributions. Their connections to ordinary parton distributions, form factors, Compton scattering and hard meson electroproduction is discussed.

Perturbative QCD and Factorization of Coherent Pion Photoproduction on the Deuteron
We analyze the predictions of perturbative QCD for pion photoproduction on the deuteron γD → π0D at large momentum transfer using the reduced amplitude formalism. The cluster decomposition of the deuteron wave function at small binding only allows the nuclear coherent process to proceed if each nucleon absorbs an equal fraction of the overall momentum transfer. Furthermore, each nucleon must sc...

متن کاملCompressibility probed by linear momentum transfer.
The linear momentum transfer occurring in central heavy ion collisions is studied within the Landau Vlasov model. A sensitivity to the Equation Of State is found for this observable. Assuming the free nucleon-nucleon cross section, a soft compressibility modulus (around 210 MeV) is required to reproduce the large amount of data available for linear momentum transfer. This result stands for loca...
متن کاملy scaling in electron-nucleus scattering.
The nuclear response function measured by inclusive quasielastic electron-nucleus scattering is an important observable in the study of the wave function of the bound nuclear system and the properties of its constituents. In the impulse approximation (lA) it relates the inclusive cross sections to the free electron-nucleon cross sections aep and a en• and to the spectral function 1 p(k, E) whic...
متن کاملProbing the Structure of Nucleons in Electromagnetic Interactions
Electron scattering may be characterized according to distance and time scales (or momentum and energy transfer). At large distances mesons and nucleons are the relevant degrees of freedom. We can study peripheral properties of the nucleon near threshold, or meson exchange processes at high energies. At short distances and short time scales, the coupling involves elementary quarks and gluon fie...
