11 Nov 2016 | Abstract: | A global analysis of nuclear medium modifications of parton distributions is
presented using deeply inelastic scattering data of various nuclear targets.
Two obtained data sets are provided for quark and gluon nuclear modification
factors, referred as nIMParton16. One is from the global fit only to the
experimental data of isospin-scalar nuclei (Set A), and the other is from the
fit to all the measured nuclear data (Set B). The scale-dependence is described
by DGLAP equations with nonlinear corrections in this work. The Fermi motion
and off-shell effect, nucleon swelling, and parton-parton recombination are
taken into account together for modeling the complicated $x$-dependence of
nuclear modification. The nuclear gluon shadowing in this paper is dynamically
generated by the QCD evolution of parton splitting and recombination processes
with zero gluon density at the input scale. Sophisticated nuclear dependence of
nuclear medium effects is studied with only two free parameters. With the
obtained free parameters from the global analysis, the nuclear modifications of
parton distribution functions of unmeasured nuclei can be predicted in our
model. Nuclear modification of deuteron is also predicted and shown with recent
measurement at JLab. | Source: | arXiv, 1611.3670 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
