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.

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 0.0001
