Kaon-Nucleus Drell-Yan Processes and Kaon Structure Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the information which could be obtained from Drell-Yan processes with sufficiently intense beams of charged kaons on isoscalar targets. It is found that combinations of K and K− Drell-Yan measurements on isoscalar nuclear targets would allow one to extract the kaon sea quark distributions. These cross sections are also sensitive to the strange valence quark distribution in the kaon, although one would need a significant increase over the presently available kaon fluxes in order to extract this quantity with sufficient accuracy.

Low Q 2 wave - functions of pions and kaons and their parton distribution functions
We study the low Q 2 wave-functions of pions and kaons as an expansion in terms of hadron-like Fock state fluctuations. In this formalism, pion and kaon wave-functions are related one another. Consequently, the knowledge of the pion structure allows the determination of parton distributions in kaons. In addition, we show that the intrinsic (low Q 2) sea of pions and kaons are different due to t...
متن کاملLight - front model of the kaon electromagnetic current ∗
The electromagnetic form factor is extracted from both components of the electromagnetic current: J+ and J− with a pseudo-scalar coupling of the quarks to the kaon. In the case of J+ there is no pair term contribution in the Drell-Yan frame (q+ = 0). However, J− component of the electromagnetic current the pair term contribution is different from zero and is necessary include it to preserve the...
متن کاملKaon photoproduction on the nucleon : Contributions of kaon-hyperon final states to the magnetic moment of the nucleon
By using the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule and an isobaric model of kaon photoproduction, we calculate contributions of kaon-hyperon final states to the magnetic moment of the proton and the neutron. We find that the contributions are small. The approximation of σTT ′ by σT clearly overestimates the value of the GDH integral. We find a smaller upper bound for the contributions of kaon-hy...
متن کاملKaon-condensed hypernuclei as highly dense self-bound objects
The structure of K−-condensed hypernuclei, which may be produced in the laboratory in strangeness-conserving processes, is investigated using an effective chiral Lagrangian for the kaon-baryon interaction, combined with a nonrelativistic baryon-baryon interaction model. It is shown that a large number of negative strangeness is needed for the formation of highly dense and deeply bound state wit...
متن کاملStructure of the Goldstone Bosons
The feasibility of measuring the pion and kaon structure functions has been investigated. A high luminosity electron-proton collider would make these measurements feasible. Also, it appears feasible to measure these structure functions in a nuclear medium. Simulations using the RAPGAP Monte Carlo of a possible pion structure function measurement are presented. Understanding hadron structure fro...
