14. Why should we care about Internal structure of nucleons?  Probing matter at the smallest distance scales.  Improving our knowledge of the strong (nuclear) force.  One very practical reason: huge expensive proton colliders like Fermilab and LHC smash protons into each other and look for new particles (Higgs, supersymmetric partners) and possibly new forces: essential to know motion of quarks in the protons to interpret results.

17. Why probe with electrons? Interaction via exchange of (mostly) a single photon due to small size of coupling (1/137) in well-understood electro-magnetic interaction (from D. Day)

18. Why probe with electrons? Interaction via exchange of (mostly) a single photon due to small size of coupling (1/137) in well-understood electro- magnetic interaction To probe inside a nucleon need wave lengths of order 1 fm or less: means high energy (GeV or giga-electron-volt scale, similar to proton mass which is 0.9383 GeV. Also want high Q 2 Photon has energy and “mass 2 ” Q 2 (from D. Day)

19. Electron scattering versus, Q 2 (from D. Day) (scattering probability) X=Q 2 /2M

20. What was learned at SLAC using high and Q 2 (short wavelengths)  Proton made of two “valence” u quarks and one d quark (neutron has two d and one u).  Quarks have charge 2/3 (u) or -1/3 (d).  Quarks have spin 1/2, like protons themselves.  Quarks appear to be point-like (no substructure themselves). Analogy: hitting a single marble as opposed to bags of marbles that break up if you hit them hard enough.  Theory of QCD (quantum chromodynamics) explains change in rates with x=Q 2 /2M via the process of gluon radiation.

30. How to go further and learn more then just the structure transverse to the motion or spin of the nucleon?  One way is to also detect “knocked- out” quark: measure it’s direction relative to the virtual photon probe, and also what type of quark  This is called Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS)  Need electron accelerator with “continuous” beam instead of the short intensive bursts of SLAC (which quark with which electron?).

35. Asymptotic freedom strong force is arbitrarily weak at ever shorter distancess. Hadronization is the process of the formation of hadrons (like pions) out of quarks and gluons. Confinement when the force between quarks increases as the distance between them increases, so no quarks can be found individually as the strong interaction forces them to form pairs or triplets. QCD introduces complications!

38. Hit a quark hard (high Q 2,, W) and it flies away from target remanents and fragments into pions. “Current fragmentation”. Controlled by PDFs (u(x), d(x),  u(x),  d(x)…) Leading (highest z) pion will tend to select out which quark was hit (  + from u,  - from d). Controlled by fragmentation functions (FF) D + (z) (favored) and D - (z) (unfavored) Real life: Q 2 dependence (QCD evolution, higher twist sensitive to correlations), and both PDFs and FFs likely depend on p t.

41. SIDIS kinematic plane and relevant variables P t is transverse momentum relative to virtual photon M x 2 =M 2 +Q 2 (1/x-1) is invariant mass of total hadronic final state pion MXMX

42. C.E.B.A.F. at Jefferson Lab in Newport News 6 GeV continuous beams now: 12 GeV in 2013 or so.

45. Electron beam with E=5.5 GeV Proton and Deuteron targets SIDIS measurements of both  + and  - Electrons scattered at 24 to 36 degrees into SOS Pions detected in the HMS spectrometer Hall C experiment E00-108

46. Rather low “mass” of final state: W: 2<W<3 GeV Rather low of “target remenant mass” M x : will description in terms of scattering of single quarks hold? Hall C experiment E00-108

47. z-Dependence of cross sections at Pt=0 Good agreement with prediction using PDFs and fragmentation functions from other experiments, except for z>0.7, or Mx>1.4 GeV. x=0.3, Q 2 =2.5 GeV 2, W=2.5 GeV  ? Jlab Hall C

48. Is SIDIS framework OK at low M x ? Neglect sea quarks and assume no p t dependence to parton distribution functions (for now):  [  p (  + ) +  p (  - )]/[  d (  + ) +  d (  - )] = [4u(x) + d(x)]/[5(u(x) + d(x))] ~  p /  d independent of z and p t [  p (  + ) -  p (  - )]/[  d (  + ) -  d (  - )] = [4u(x) - d(x)]/[3(u(x) + d(x))] independent of z and p t, but more sensitive to assumptions

49. Yes, These two ratios make sense more or less Even though only a few pions being produced “Works” better “Works” worse Closed (open) symbols reflect data after (before) events from coherent  production are subtracted GRV & CTEQ, @ LO or NLO (recall, z = 0.65 ~ M x 2 = 2.5 GeV 2 )

50. 2 And, the Q 2 -dependence seems flat and in agrreement with LO model too, for Q 2 >2 GeV 2

51. k T -dependent SIDIS p t = P t – z k t + O(k t 2 /Q 2 ) Assume P t of observed pion is 3D vector sum of quark k t and a fragmentation that generates extra vector p t.

52. Transverse momentum dependence of SIDIS All slopes similar, but subtle difference seem to exist.

53. Transverse momentum dependence of SIDIS Fit to data of previous slide With severn parameter fit: important four are: (  u ) 2 ~ Gaussian width of u(x,k t ) (  d ) 2 ~ Gaussian width of d(x,k t ) (  + ) 2 ~ Gaussian width of D + (z,p t ) (   ) 2 ~ Gaussian width of D - (z,p t )

54.  Factorization valid  Fragmentation functions do not depend on quark flavor (type)  Widths Gaussian and can be added in quadrature  Sea quarks are negligible  Particular function form for the Cahn effect (kinematic shifting)  No additional higher twist effects  NLO corrections can be ignored Assumptions:

55. Ellipses are fits with different systematic assumptions Black dot is from a particular di-quark model Dashed lines have equal (u,d) or (+,-) widths Fit results

56. Results compatible with no difference, as well as possibly d width smaller u width Focus on d-quark transverse width (vertical) versus u-quark width (horizonontal)

57. Very priminary ratio of average u/d versus kt from Lattic QCD by Bernhard Musch (arXiv:0908.1283) Equivalent ratio of Gaussian k t widths is 0.97: compatible with our fit

58. Polarization of quarks Quarks have spin, which can be aligned or anti aligned with proton spin Anti-parallel electron & proton spins Parallel electron & proton spins Experiment: compare:

59. Averaged over P t and x, u quark spins are about 50% aligned with proton, d quark spins about 40% anti-aligned (from SLAC, Jlab inelusive electron scattering) u d

60. Lattic QCD calculation shows HUGE dependence of average u quark polarization on transverse momentum (new!) Bernhard Mush (very preliminary) On this plot, ratio of 5 means 66% polaraization (1 means 0%)

61. Diquark model Jakob, Mulders, Rodrigues, Nucl. Phys. A 1997 A.Bacchetta (JLab-07) Also predicts big dependence g1/f1 is proportional to quark polarization (alignment with proton)

62. Scattering of 5.7 GeV polarized electrons off polarized NH 3, ND 3 Polarized SIDIS at JLAB using CLAS

63. Polarized Target 5 T1 K

64. Purple beads are ammonia (NH3); only the protons are polarized, the nitrogen makes for (big) background

65. Beam polarization Pb about 0.7 Target polarization about 0.7 Dilution factor f about 0.2 Depolarization factor D LL (y) about 0.3 Net result: need to run long time! Determination of g 1 /F 1 (approximately A 1 ): proportional to quark polarizations

66. z-depenence of k t averaged SIDIS g 1 /F 1 CLAS 5.7 GeV PRELIMINARY Good agreement with predictions based on inclusive scattering. Negative pion smaller due to greater incluence of d quarks. For rest of talk, will use 0.3<z<0.7

67. 67 x-depenence of k t -averaged SIDIS proton g 1 /F 1 W>2 GeV, Q 2 >1.1 GeV 2, 0.4<z<0.7 Good agreement with predictions based on inclusive scattering. Negative pion smaller due to greater incluence of d quarks.

68. p t -depenence of SIDIS proton A 1 = g 1 /F 1 CLAS Preliminary M.Anselmino et al hep-ph/0608048 From  + results, maybe u-quarks less polarized at high Pt, as predicted by Lattice QCD and diquark model. But,  - disagrees diquark model. Waiting for Lattice for d-quark  0 2 =0.25GeV 2  D 2 =0.2GeV 2

69. Trends less pronounced if put higher cut on z (pion momenta) Need more data to study depenence on all kinematic variables

70.

73. Summary and Outlook  Picture of internal structure of proton and neutron still pretty fuzzy, especially regarding transverse motion of quarks, and internal orbital angular momentum.  New experiments using SIDIS are helping to sharpen the picture: Jefferson Lab is playing a big role.  Upgrade of Jlab to 12 GeV, and a future even higher energy electron-proton collider, will be needed to get a really crisp picture.
