  1. Possible studies of structure functions at JLab Shunzo Kumano High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) Graduate University for Advanced Studies (GUAS) http://research.kek.jp/people/kumanos/ Our codes are available for Nuclear PDFs: http://research.kek.jp/people/kumanos/nuclp.html Polarized PDFs: http://spin.riken.bnl.gov/aac/ Fragmentation functions: http://research.kek.jp/people/kumanos/ffs.html Q2 evolutions: http://research.kek.jp/people/kumanos/program.html Workshop on the Jefferson Laboratory Upgrade to 12 GeV Sept. 14 - Nov. 20, 2009, INT, Seattle, USA http://www.int.washington.edu/PROGRAMS/09-3.html November 5, 2009

  2. Outline Three different topics. I will stop when time runs out. 1. Nuclear modifications of R = FL / FT at large x We (M. Ericson and SK) insist that nuclear modifications of R = FL / FT should exist at large x. 2. From nucleon-spin crisis to tensor-structure crisis (?) Tensor structure functions of spin-1 hadrons (b1, b2, …). 3. ∆g(x) determination by accurate g1 measurements Accurate g1 by JLab E07-011  NLO gluon term in g1 could be determined.

  3. Nuclear modifications of R = FL / FT at large x Ref. M. Ericson and SK, Phys. Rev. C 67 (2003) 022201.

  4. X ' RA /RD L, T p Q2 (GeV2) (2000) (2003) Nuclear effect on R = FL / FT by HERMES HERMES, K. Ackerstaff el al., PL B 475 (2000) 386; Erratum, PL B567 (2003) 339 [hep-ex/0210067; hep-ex/0210068].

  5. Nuclear effects on R by CCFR/NuTeV U.-K. Yang et al., PRL 87 (2001) 251802. CCFR HERMES SLAC note No significant deviation is measured from the nucleon case ( ). No large nuclear modification of R is observed in +Fe! (note: CCF/NuTeV target is Fe)

  6. M. Ericson and SK, Phys. Rev. C 67 (2003) 022201 Submitted (Nov. 30, 2002) just after the HERMES correction paper (Oct. 31, 2002). Nuclear modifications of transverse-longitudinal ratio do exist in medium and large-x regions, although the modifications do not seem to exist at small x within experimental errors according to the revised HERMES paper.  Mechanisms (1)Transverse nucleon motion T-L admixtureof nucleon structure functions. (2)Binding and Fermi-motion effectsin the spectral function.

  7. Formalism Projection operators of W1A and W2A Longitudinal and transverse components

  8. Formalism (continued)

  9. 0.4 2 2 Q = 1 GeV 0.3 R 0.2 R 14 N R 2 N 10 GeV 0.1 2 100 GeV 0 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 x 1.1 2 2 Q = 1 GeV 2 10 GeV 2 1.05 100 GeV admixture effects 1 without L-T mixing 0.95 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 x Results

  10. After the HERMES (CCFR/NuTeV) re-analysis, people tend to lose interest in the nuclear effect on R. However, we claim that nuclear modification should exist in medium and large-x regions. Physical origins  transverse-longitudinal admixture due to the transverse Fermi motion  binding and Fermi motion effects in the spectral function In the kinematical region of our prediction, data does not exist. Need future experimental investigations at JLab, EIC,  factory, …

Almost same for p an d, but at 0.04 < x < 0.32. • In any case, nuclear modifications should be small for the deuteron. • Importance of future JLab measurements for heavier nuclei, especially at large x (>0.4).

  14. Motivation  Spin structure of the spin-1/2 nucleon Nucleon spin puzzle: This issue is not solved yet, but it is rather well studied theoretically and experimentally.  Spin-1 hadrons (e.g. deuteron) Tensor-structure puzzle (???) There are some theoretical studies especially on tensor structure in electron-deuteron deep inelastic scattering.  HERMES experimental results A few investigations have been done for polarized proton-deuteron processes.  J-PARC, COMPASS, U70, GSI-FAIR, RHIC … experiment ?

Possible JLab measurements in this x region. • HERMES data have large errors  Important contribution from JLab. See also a theoretical model by G. A. Miller, in Topical Conference on Electronuclear physics with Internal Targets, edited by R. G. Arnold (World Scientific, 1990). Possibly, opening of tensor-structure crisis at JLab!?

  28. Gluon polarization from lepton scattering F. Kunne (COMPASS), AIP Conf. Proc. 1149 (2009) 321.

  29. Gluon polarization from RHIC π0 production (Torii’s talk at Pacific-Spin05) Parton distribution functions Parton interactions Fragmentation functions • Gluonic processes dominate. • Determination of ∆g however with uncertainties of gluon fragmentation functions. Uncertainty range of gluon fragmentation functions in LO. (See the next page.) In the NLO, the range is smaller.

All the parametrizations agree in charm and bottom functions. M. Hirai, SK, T.-H. Nagai, K. Sudoh, PRD75 (2007) 094009. A code is available at http://research.kek.jp/people/kumanos/ffs.html

  31. 2000version (AAC00) Y. Goto et al., PRD 62 (2000) 034017. - Q2 dependence of A1, positivity - q at small and large x   issue 2004 version (AAC03) M. Hirai, SK, N. Saito, PRD 69 (2004) 054021. - uncertainty estimation (very large g uncertainty, impact of accurate g1p (E155)) - error correlation between g and q 2006 version (AAC06) M. Hirai, SK, N. Saito, PRD 74 (2006) 014015. - include RHIC-Spin 0 (g uncertainty is significantly reduced) - g at large x ?(from Q2 difference between HERMES and COMPASS) - g < 0 solution 2008 version (AAC08) M. Hirai, SK, NPB 813 (2009) 106. - impact of g by JLab E07-011? (g uncertainty could be significantly reduced.)

  32. General method for determining polarized PDFs Leading Order (LO) Next to Leading Order (NLO) Unpolarized PDFs

  33. Constraint on ∆g(x)from current g1 data

  34. Gluon polarization at large x AAC, PRD74 (2006) 014015: Analysis without higher-twist effects NLO This term is terminated. CG=0 x=0.001 x=0.3 x=0.05

  35. However, it may be higher-twist effect. LSS, PRD73 (2006) 034023. Leading Twist (LT) Higher Twist (HT) LT fit LT+HT fit LT+HT fit, only LT term is shown At this stage, we cannot conclude that the difference between the HERMES and COMPASS data should be 100% HT or HT+g(large x)>0, or 100% g(large x)>0 effects.

  36. Gluon polarization tends to be positive at large x. Obtained polarized PDFs by AAC06

  37. Constraint on ∆g(x)from future g1 data: Effects of E07-011 at JLab 12 GeV

  38. 3 data sets for global analyses of polarized PDFs Expected E07-011 data • Set A: Only DIS data for the determination • of polarized PDFs [Dg(x)] • Set B: Effects of collider data sets • p0 production [Run-5 PHENIX, • PRD76, 051106R (2007)] • Set C: Effect of DIS accurate g1 data • by JLab E07-011. • g1 measurements [E. Brash, et al., • JLab experiment E07-011; • X. Jiang, personal communications.]

  39. “positive” x “node” Two initial functions for∆g(x): positive, node Positive Node Gluon Effects of expected JLab E07-011 data Reduction of uncertainties for ∆g(x) by E07-011 Antiquark

  40. Significant improvements Note: π0 data are from run-5 although it may not be a good idea to compare future data with past ones. ∆g(x) with PHENIX run-5 or JLab E07-011 data JLab-E07-011 is comparable to RHIC run-5 π0 in determining ∆g(x) if gluon fragmentation errors are neglected.

  41. Why such a large improvement of ∆g(x) by E07-011 data?
