Quark-Quark Double Scattering • Two kinds of double scattering in eA DIS quark-gluon double scattering quark-quark double scattering X.F. Guo, X.N. Wang, PRL85,3591(2000)
Properties of q-q double scattering X.N. Wang and X.F. Guo, NPA 696, 788 (2001) • Quark-quark double scattering will mix the quark and gluon fragmentation functions; Jet conversion; • Quark-quark double scattering may give different modifications to quark FF and anti-quark FF.

Quark-quark double scattering • Single Scattering: leading twist contribution • Double Scattering: twist-4 contribution
Modified Fragmenation Function • Summing single and double scattering gives • We define the modified quark FF as:
Quark-quark correlation function M. Luo, J. Qiu,G. Sterman, PRD 50(1994)1951. J. Osborne and X.N. Wang, NPA 710(2002)281.
Quark and anti-quark FF(I) • We get the modification to quark FF as: • Similarly we can obtain modification to anti-quark FF.
Quark and anti-quark FF(II) • The difference between modified quark FF and modified anti-quark FF:
Multiplicity ratios of hadrons • Multiplicity ratio measured at HERMES: HERMES hep-ex/0012049 hep-ex/0307023
Theoretical explanation • In the constituent quark model:
Summary • Quark-quark scattering is eA DIS are studied with twist expansion approach • Modification to quark FF in nuclei is different from the modification to anti-quark FF in nuclei. • This difference may explain the multiplicity ratios of hadrons in nuclei observed at HERMES.
Summary (cont.) • Quark-quark double scattering can modify fragmentation functions without radiation. • Quark-quark double scattering may change the flavor of partons: jet conversion • In heavy-ion collisions quark-quark double scattering can not be neglected if quark density is comparable to gluon density in hot nuclear medium.
