3 What is Deep Inelastic Scattering? Collective behaviorSome context: vs. two-body physics
DIS: Using lepton (electron, muon, neutrino) scattering to explore the partonic structure of hadronic matter ? Advantages of leptonic (vs. hadronic) probes
à It’s QED: at least one vertex is well understand à No complicated structure of the probe to deal with
à Small value of αQED = 1/137 means higher order corrections are small*High -momentum region: short-range
To access partonic structure (i.e.interactions, quarks and gluons) mainly we need 2-body “high” physics, energies and large inelasticities à want to avoid the complicationslargely from exciting A-independent resonances
*Well, usually. Not always true. 4 Could these Short-Range Correlations be dense enough to modify the quark structure of protons and neutrons?

11 What is Deep Inelastic Scattering?
Lepton scattering cross Nuclear elastic sections have rich, complex structure
à Elastic scattering à Production of excited quark bound states – Resonance resonances!
We are primarily Quasielastic interested in the regime in which quarks act like quasi-free, weakly interacting particles
The boundary between these regimes not Figure from R.G. Roberts, The Structure of the Proton always so clear cut
5 DIS Experiments
• Plethora of data available from a variety of fixed target experiments – SLAC à Electrons at 10’s of GeV – CERN (EMC/BCDMS/NMC/COMPASS) à Muons at 100’s of GeV – HERMES à 27 GeV positrons and electrons – E665 à Muons at 490 GeV – JLab à 6 GeV electrons à 12 GeV • Only one source of collider DIS data (so far) – HERA (Zeus and H1) : 27 GeV positrons (electrons) on 920 GeV protons • Neutrinos à CCFR, CHORUS, NuTeV, MINERνA • Important information can also be gleaned from hadron colliders (RHIC, LHC, etc.)

Kinematics:
Beam: k= (E, 0,0,p) à Typically ignore electron
mass so E=p Scattered electron: k’ = E’, θ

Due to the point-like γ 2 coupling, the logarithmic evolution of F2 with Q has a positive slope for all values of x, see Fig. 19.15. The ‘loss’ of quarks at large x due to gluon radiation is over-compensated by the ‘creation’ of quarks via the point-like γ qq¯ coupling. The logarithmic evolution was first predicted in the quark–parton model→ (γ∗γ qq¯)[81,82],andtheninQCDin the limit of large Q2 [83]. The evolution is now known→ to NLO [84–86].

Besides 2 x and Q , two extra variables are needed to describe a DDIS event: the fraction xIP of the proton’s momentum transferred across the rapidity gapandt,thesquareofthe 4-momentum transfer of the proton.

The ABM analysis uses a FFNS where only the three light (massless) quarks enter the evolution, while the heavy quarks enter the partonic cross sections with their full mQ dependence; transition matrix elements are computed, following [53], which provide the boundary conditions between nf and nf +1 PDFs. The GM-VFNS and FFNS approaches 2 2 yield different results: in particular αs(MZ)andalarge-x gluon PDF at large Q are both significantly smaller in the FFNS.

In addition to unpolarized structure functions, polarized targets and beams are sensitive to polarized structure functions: g1(x) and g2(x)
