半包含DIS的极化价夸克分布

The Polarised Valence Quark Distribution from semi-inclusive DIS

COMPASS Collaboration, M. Alekseev

摘要:

用欧洲核子研究中心的COMPASS实验测量了带相反电荷强子的半包含差不对称性A^{h^{+}-h^{-}}。这些数据是在2002-2004年间收集的,使用的是从一个大的极化^6LiD靶散射的160 GeV极化μ子束,覆盖范围为0.006 < x < 0.7和1 < Q^2 < 100(GeV/c)^2。在首阶QCD(LO)中,不对称性A_d^{h^{+}-h^{-}}测量了价夸克的极化,并给出了Δ u_v + Δ d_v的一阶矩的计算结果,其值为0.40 ± 0.07(stat.)+- 0.05(系统)在Q^2 = 10(GeV/c)^2时x的测量范围内。当与先前在相同数据上测量的g_1^d的一阶矩相结合时,这个结果在两个标准差的置信水平上支持轻夸克的非对称偏振Δ u-bar = -Δ d-bar,而不是通常假设的对称场景Δ u-bar = Δ d-bar = Δ s-bar = Δ s。

英文摘要:

The semi-inclusive difference asymmetry A^{h^{+}-h^{-}} for hadrons of opposite charge has been measured by the COMPASS experiment at CERN. The data were collected in the years 2002-2004 using a 160 GeV polarised muon beam scattered off a large polarised ^6LiD target and cover the range 0.006 < x < 0.7 and 1 < Q^2 < 100 (GeV/c)^2. In leading order QCD (LO) the asymmetry A_d^{h^{+}-h^{-}} measures the valence quark polarisation and provides an evaluation of the first moment of Delta u_v + Delta d_v which is found to be equal to 0.40 +- 0.07 (stat.) +- 0.05 (syst.) over the measured range of x at Q^2 = 10 (GeV/c)^2. When combined with the first moment of g_1^d previously measured on the same data, this result favours a non-symmetric polarisation of light quarks Delta u-bar = - Delta d-bar at a confidence level of two standard deviations, in contrast to the often assumed symmetric scenario Delta u-bar = Delta d-bar = Delta s-bar = Delta s.
