Title: Structure and spin of the nucleon


1
Structure and spin of the nucleon
Harut Avakian(JLab)
  • focus on increasing theoretical and experimental
    support for the nucleon and nuclear 3D PDF
    programs worldwide
  • model-independent procedure for the flavor
    decomposition

2
Gluon polarization
With upper limit may saturate the sum rule
No need for orbital momentum?
3
Drell-Yan
a test of QCD
SeaQuest Spectrometer
Low Drell-Yan cross section requires a high
intensity beams
Nuclotron based Ion Collider fAcility
  • Clean probe to study hadron structure
  • convolution of parton distributions
  • no QCD final state effects
  • no fragmentation process

Drell-Yan projections
4ltMlt9 GeV/c2
Drell-Yan beam results are in agreement with the
simulations

Sivers effect p from EIC
vs 140 GeV, vs 50 GeV and vs 15 GeV EIC
configurations, respectively. Event counts
correspond to an integrated luminosity of 30 fb-1
arXiv1108.1713
  • Large acceptance and energy range of EIC makes it
    ideal place to study the contributions of sea
    quarks to Sivers asymmetry

9
Extracting Sivers function from asymmetries
EIC with energy setting of vs 45 GeV and an
integrated lumi of 4 fb-1
Extraction based on Gaussian Sivers, generated
and then extracted with assumption of the same
shape as used in generation (unclear systematics)
  • Invisible error bars are due to specific
    procedure and may be misleading.
  • Need realistic error bars, need decomposition
    procedure

10
flavor and spin effects on kT
gt
B.Musch et al arXiv1011.1213
g1qDq(q-q-)/2
P. Schweitzer et al arXiv1210.1267
Higher probability to find a quark anti-aligned
with proton spin, also more sea and d-quarks at
large kT
  • kT-distributions of TMDs depend on flavor and
    spin
  • In medium fractions of spin and orbital momentum
    change (nuclear targets)

10
11
flavor and spin effects on bT
B.Pasquini et al
G. Miller et al Phys.Rev.C84045205,2011
  • space distributions depend on flavor and spin
    (medium?)

12
Higher twists
Higher twists large and underlying
interactions/correlations require more attention!
13
Summary
  • focus on increasing theoretical and experimental
    support for the nucleon and nuclear 3D PDF
    programs worldwide
  • model-independent procedure for the flavor
    decomposition of 3D PDFs

HAVE A VERY PRODUCTIVE WEEK!

Correlations of spin, longitudinal and transverse
degrees
  • What are the kT distributions of partons?
  • Do they depend on spin and flavor of partons?
  • Do they modify in medium, and how ?
  • How studies of proton transverse structure will
    improve our understanding of medium effects?
  • How studies of medium modifications will improve
    our understanding of the proton structure?
  • Possible new tools
  • Polarized DIS resolve the spin effects in medium
  • Polarized and unpolarized SIDIS resolve flavor
    and spin effects

17
Kinematic correlations at finite Q2
From energy/momentum conservation
arXiv 1106.6177
energy of the parton have to be less than the
energy of the parent hadron
x and kT are not independent at low Q2 even in
factorized Gaussian approach!
18
Medium modified spin observables (NJL model)
I. Cloet
EMC effect essentially a consequence of binding
at the quark level

Transverse densities in the nucleon in nuclear
matter
Quark transverse charge densities inside an
unpolarized proton arXiv1304.5926 (Yakhshiev
Kim )
Skyrme model
proton
medium
  • form factors of the nucleon fell off faster in
    nuclear matter
  • the size of the nucleon tends to bulge out in
    nuclear matter.

for the Jlab SIDIS working group
  • The complete mapping of the multi-dimensional
    SIDIS phase space will allow a comprehensive
    study of the TMDs and the transition to the
    perturbative regime.
  • Flavor separation will be possible by the use of
    different target nucleons and the detection of
    final state hadrons.
  • Measurements with pions and kaons in the final
    state will also provide important information on
    the hadronization mechanism in general and on the
    role of spin-orbit correlations in the
    fragmentation in particular.
  • Higher-twist effects will be present in both TMDs
    and fragmentation processes due to the still
    relatively low Q2 range accessible at JLab, and
    can apart from contributing to leading-twist
    observables also lead to observable asymmetries
    vanishing at leading twist. These are worth
    studying in themselves and provide important
    information on quark-gluon correlations.

TMD Evolution may explain existing differences
between HERMES and COMPASS . Aybat, Prokudin
Rogers arXiv1112.4423
Comparison of JLab12 data with HERMES and COMPASS
will pin down the Q2 evolution of Sivers
asymmetry.
