Recent results from the HERMES experiment

Results are presented from the Hermes experiment which uses semi-inclusive deep inelastic lepton scattering to study the flavor structure of the nucleon.Data have been accumulated for pion and kaon double spin asymmetries,single-spin azimuthal asymmetries for meson electroproduction,deep virtual Compton scattering （DVCS）,and meson multiplicities.These results provide information on the properties of the strange sea in the proton,constraints on transverse momentum dependent quark parton distributions,and demonstrate the promise of DVCS for isolating the total angular momentum carried by the quarks in the proton.     

Exclusive meson production at HERMES

The exclusive electroproduction of pseudoscalar and vector mesons was studied with the HERMES spectrometer at the DESY laboratory by scattering 27.6 GeV positron and electron beams off a transversely polarized hydrogen target.The results are compared to calculations based on generalized parton distributions,some of which are sensitive to the contribution of the total angular momentum of the quarks to the proton spin.

Overview of recent results from the HERMES experiment

HERMES has taken a wealth of deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) data using the 27.6 GeV polarized lepton beam at HERA and various pure gas targets, both unpolarized and polarized, which opened the door to several unique results. Among them are the first evidences for the naive-T-odd Sivers and Collins effects but also the recent first measurements of azimuthal modulations in the unpolarized semi-inclusive DIS cross section for charged kaons and pions and of beam-helicity asymmetries in exclusive leptoproduction of real photons using recoil-proton detection. An overview of HERMES results is given with emphasis on the exploration of the three-dimensional structure of the nucleon.     

COMPASS and HERMES contributions to our understanding of the nucleon spin

An update is given on the ongoing experimental investigation of the spin structure of the nucleon, with particular emphasis on the results from the COMPASS and HERMES experiments. Both longitudinal and transverse spin phenomena are covered. In the first case, the hot topic is the direct measurement of the gluon polarization. Evidence is presented for ΔG/G being small around x_g?0.1, and the first moment of ΔG should not be larger than 0.2-0.3. About transverse spin effects, evidence is given for new phenomena, associated with transverse-momentum-dependent distribution and fragmentation functions, which might explain the transverse spin phenomena observed for a long time in pp scattering.     

Recent results of two-boson-exchange effects in the parity-violating elastic electron-proton scattering

The results of two-boson-exchange effects in the parity-violating elastic electron-proton scattering are reported based on a simple hadronic model. The corrections are calculated including the nucleon and △（1232） intermediate states. And the numerical results are also compared with the recent results reported by other group and other methods.

核子自旋结构

简要介绍了夸克的发现、核子的夸克模型 ,详细讨论了夸克模型中核子内夸克自旋结构和极化轻子-核子深度非弹散射测量出的夸克自旋结构中的矛盾 .指出这个矛盾是由于对夸克自旋理解的混淆.最后还讨论了规范不变性和正则量子化两大物理学原则在夸克、电子轨道角动量上出现的矛盾. A simple introduction of the discovery of quark and the constituent quark model of nucleon have been given. The contradiction between the quark spin structure of nucleon of the constituent quark model and the measured one in the polarized deep inelastic lepton nucleon scattering has been explained in detail. It is elucidated that the so called “proton spin crisis” is due to quark spin confusion. The incompatibility between the requirement of gauge invariance and ...     

Recent results from the SAMPLE experiment

The SAMPLE experiment at MIT-Bates provides measurements of parity-violating electron scattering at backward angles and low momentum transfer. These measurements yield unique information on the contribution of strange quarks to the magnetic moment of the proton and also electroweak corrections such as the anapole moment. Recent results, some possible interpretations, and outstanding issues for the future are discussed.Received: 1 November 2002, Published online: 15 July 2003PACS: 13.60.Fz Elastic and Compton scattering - 11.30.Er Charge conjugation, parity, time reversal, and other discrete symmetries - 13.40.Gp Electromagnetic form factors - 14.20.Dh Protons and neutronsR.D.

On a possible node in the Sivers and Qiu-Sterman functions

The possibility of a node in the x dependence of the Sivers and Qiu-Sterman functions is discussed in light of its importance for the experimental check of the overall sign change of the Sivers effect between semi-inclusive DIS and the Drell-Yan process. An x-dependent version of the Ehrnsperger-Schäfer-Greiner-Mankiewicz relation between the Qiu-Sterman function and a twist-3 part of g₂ is presented, which naturally suggests a node in the Qiu-Sterman function. This relation could be checked experimentally as well and could provide qualitative information on the gluonic field strength inside the proton. Satisfying the Burkardt sum rule by means of a node is briefly discussed and the importance of modelling the Sivers function including its full Wilson line is pointed out.

Advances in diffraction of subnuclear waves

In this review, we present and discuss the most recent results on inclusive and exclusive diffractive processes at HERA and Tevatron colliders. Measurements from fixed target experiments at HERMES and Jefferson laboratory are also reviewed. The complementarity of all these results is analyzed in the context of perturbative QCD and new challenging issues in nucleon tomography are studied. A first understanding of how partons are localized in the nucleon to build orbital momenta can be addressed with these experimental results. Some prospects are outlined for new measurements in fixed target kinematic, at Jefferson laboratory and CERN, at COMPASS, or at the LHC. Of special interest is the exclusive (coherent) production of Higgs boson and heavy objects at the LHC. Based on the present knowledge, some perspectives are presented on this issue.     

An update on the evolution of double parton distributions

We consider double parton distributions in the general case in which the virtualities of the interacting partons are different. We elaborate the corresponding evolution equations and their extension to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy.

Final state interactions and the transverse structure of the pion using non-perturbative eikonal methods

In the factorized picture of semi-inclusive hadronic processes the naive time-reversal odd parton distributions exist by virtue of the gauge link which renders it color gauge invariant. The link characterizes the dynamical effect of initial/final-state interactions of the active parton due soft gluon exchanges with the target remnant. Though these interactions are non-perturbative, studies of final-state interaction have been approximated by perturbative one-gluon approximation in Abelian models. We include higher-order gluonic contributions from the gauge link by applying non-perturbative eikonal methods incorporating color degrees of freedom in a calculation of the Boer–Mulders function of the pion. Using this framework we explore under what conditions the Boer–Mulders function can be described in terms of factorization of final state interactions and a spatial distribution in impact parameter space.
