NUCLEAR STRUCTURE FUNCTIONS AT SMALL x IN MULTIPLE SCATTERING APPROACHES
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple model for nuclear structure functions in the region of small x and small and moderate Q, is presented. It is a parameter-free extension, in the Glauber-Gribov approach to nuclear collisions, of a saturation model for the nucleon. A reasonable agreement with experimental data on ratios of nuclear structure functions is obtained. The unintegrated gluon distribution and the behavior of the saturation scale which result from this model are discussed.

Application of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues
ABSTRACT Background: Coherent scattering leads to diffraction effects and especially constructive interferences. Theseinterferences carry some information about the molecular structure of the tissue. As breast cancer isthe most widespread cancer in women, this project evaluated the application of small angleX-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues....
متن کاملTOPICAL REVIEW Nuclear shadowing
The phenomenon of shadowing of nuclear structure functions at small values of Bjorken-x is analyzed. First, multiple scattering is discussed as the underlying physical mechanism. In this context three different but related approaches are presented: Glauber-like rescatterings, Gribov inelastic shadowing and ideas based on high-density Quantum Chromodynamics. Next, different parametrizations of n...
متن کاملNuclear modification of structure functions in lepton scattering
We discuss nuclear structure functions in lepton scattering including neutrino reactions. First, the determination of nuclear parton distribution functions is explained by using the data of electron and muon deep inelastic scattering and those of Drell-Yan processes. Second, NuTeV sin 2 θW anomaly is discussed by focusing on nuclear corrections in the iron target. Third, we show that the HERMES...
متن کاملClassical methods in DIS and nuclear scattering at small x
In hadrons and nuclei at very small x, parton distributions saturate at a scale Qs(x). Since the occupation number is large, and Qs(x) >> ΛQCD, classical weak coupling methods may be used to study this novel regime of non–linear classical fields in QCD. In these lectures, we apply these methods to compute structure functions in deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) and the energy density of gluons ...
متن کاملDeuteron Spin Structure Functions at Small Bjorken - x †
We investigate polarized deuteron structure functions at small values of the Bjorken variable, x < 0.1. In this region contributions from the coherent interaction of diffractively excited hadronic states with both nucleons become important. A proper treatment of this process requires an extension of the Glauber-Gribov multiple scattering theory to include spin degrees of freedom. In the kinemat...
