Determination of the gluon distribution function of the nucleon using energy-energy angular pattern in deep-inelastic muon-deuteron scattering
Zeitschrift fur Physik C-Particles and Fields 71:3 (1996) 391-403
Abstract:
We have used the energy-energy angular pattern of hadrons in inelastic muon-deuteron scattering to study perturbative QCD effects and to extract the gluon distribution function ηG(η) of the nucleon, where η is the fractional momentum carried by the gluon. The data were taken with the E665 spectrometer using the Fermilab Tevatron muon beam with a mean beam energy of 490 GeV. We present ηG(η) for 0.005 < η < 0.05 and at an average Q2 of 8 GeV2 using this new technique. We find that ηG(η) in this region can be described by ηG(η) ∝ ηλ with λ = -0.87±0.09(stat.)±0.370.32(sys.). We compare our results to expectations from various parametrizations of the parton distribution function and also to results from HERA. © Springer-Verlag 1996.LHC silicon strip detector read-out

Shadowing in inelastic scattering of muons on carbon, calcium and lead at low xBj
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields 67:3 (1995) 403-410
Abstract:
Nuclear shadowing is observed in the per-nucleon cross sections of positive muons on carbon, calcium and lead as compared to deuterium. The data were taken by Fermilab experiment E665 using inelastically scattered muons of mean incident momentum 470 GeV/c. Cross-section ratios are presented in the kinematic region 0.0001Extraction of the Ratio Fn2/Fp2 from Muon-Deuteron and Muon-Proton Scattering at Small x and Q2.
