AI总结:

该研究首次从低能Drell-Yan数据同时提取部分子共线与横向自由度,比较了π介子与质子的TMD PDFs,发现π介子夸克场横向分离更小且随纵向动量减小而减小,并证实了横向EMC效应。

摘要:

我们首次从低能固定靶Drell-Yan数据中同时提取部分子共线与横向自由度,以比较π介子与质子的横动量依赖(TMD)部分子分布函数(PDFs)。我们证明,π介子TMDs中编码的夸克场横向分离比质子小超过$4 σ$。此外,我们发现夸克场的横向分离随其纵向动量分数的减小而减小。在研究TMDs的核修正时,我们发现了横向EMC效应的明确证据。我们对这些引人注目的行为可能的原因进行了评论,这呼吁对各种强相互作用夸克-胶子系统中的断层扫描进行更深入的检验。

英文摘要:

We perform the first simultaneous extraction of parton collinear and transverse degrees of freedom from low-energy fixed-target Drell-Yan data in order to compare the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the pion and proton. We demonstrate that the transverse separation of the quark field encoded in TMDs of the pion is more than $4 σ$ smaller than that of the proton. Additionally, we find the transverse separation of the quark field decreases as its longitudinal momentum fraction decreases. In studying the nuclear modification of TMDs, we find clear evidence for a transverse EMC effect. We comment on possible explanations for these intriguing behaviors, which call for a deeper examination of tomography in a variety of strongly interacting quark-gluon systems.
