Abstract:
We calculate the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the `direct' part of the spin-dependent cross section for single-inclusive charged-hadron photoproduction. This process could be studied experimentally in future polarized fixed-target lepton-nucleon experiments, but also at the HERA ep collider after an upgrade to both beams being polarized. We present a brief numerical evaluation of our results by studying the K-factors and the scale dependence of the NLO cross section.- electron p: deep inelastic scattering
- electron p: inclusive reaction
- polarization
- photon p: inclusive reaction
- hadron: electroproduction
- hadron: photoproduction
- quantum chromodynamics: correction
- perturbation theory: higher-order
- model: parton
- regularization
