A Parton picture of inclusive quasielastic electron scattering off nuclei
Feb, 2000Citations per year
Abstract:
A parton picture of inclusive quasi-elastic electron-nucleus scattering, where individual nucleons are treated as (non point-like) partons of the nucleus, is presented. All the necessary target-mass corrections to asymptotic scaling are evaluated and a new scaling variable is obtained. Recent inclusive data from Jefferson Lab are analyzed and shown to scale in terms of the new variable. The new approach allows to extract in a model-independent way the nucleon light-cone momentum distribution in the nucleus.- electron nucleus: inclusive reaction
- electron nucleus: inelastic scattering
- iron
- model: parton
- operator product expansion
- nucleus: structure function
- nucleon: momentum spectrum
- light cone
- numerical calculations
- interpretation of experiments: Newport News CEBAF Linac
