2 2 Deep inelastic scattering and structure functions d 2 and A 1 for the neutron E06-014 in Hall A at 6 GeV Outlook at 12 GeV Outline Diana Parno - May 29, 2013

3 3 Deep Inelastic Scattering Start with a polarized electron and a polarized nucleon They exchange a virtual photon Virtual photon-nucleon vertex contains nucleon structure information Inclusive measurement: only detect scattered electrons Incident electron k Incident nucleon k’ Scattered electron q Virtual photon p Diana Parno - May 29, 2013

4 4 Scattering from a point particle is straightforward: Nucleon Structure Functions To describe scattering from a complex structure – like a nucleon – you need structure functions: k k’ θ Diana Parno - May 29, 2013

5 5 Polarized Structure Functions Now add relative spin orientations to the picture F 1 (x, Q 2 ) and g 1 (x, Q 2 ) have simple meanings in the quark-parton model: Diana Parno - May 29, 2013

6 6 From g 1 and g 2, we form the quantity d 2 for the nucleon: d2d2 Clean probe of twist-3 physics (quark-gluon correlations) Proton Neutron d2d2 Predictions and Data Bag ModelQCD Sum Rules Lattice QCD Chiral Soliton Data 2σ discrepancy between lattice prediction and measurement of neutron d 2 We need precise data at large x Diana Parno - May 29, 2013

7 7 Picture the polarizations at the hadron vertex: A1A1 Same helicities:Opposite helicities: Photon spin Nucleon spin Flavor decomposition of spin structure from A 1 n and A 1 p combined Diana Parno - May 29, 2013
