Measurements of the Nucleon Structure Function in the Range 0.002-GeV**2 < x < 0.17-GeV**2 and 0.2-GeV**2 < q**2 < 8-GeV**2 in Deuterium, Carbon and Calcium

The European Muon collaboration Arneodo, M. ; Arvidson, A. ; Aubert, J.J. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 333 (1990) 1-47, 1990.
Inspire Record 283347 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.33074

Small angle scattering of 280 GeV positive muons by deuterium, carbon and calcium has been measured at scattering angles down to 2 mrad. The nucleon structure function F 2 extracted from deuterium does not show a significant x dependence in the measured range of Q 2 and its Q 2 dependence is linear in log Q 2 . For calcium, a depletion of F 2 is observed at low x by 30% as compared with the values at x = 0.1 where F 2 (Ca) and F 2 (D) are not significantly different. This depletion is attributed to shadowing. The carbon structure function exhibits a similar, but less pronounced, x dependence. Such behaviour is observed to be independent of Q 2 . The data are consistent with those obtained from other charged lepton experiments both at similar and higher values of x and Q 2 and considerably extend the range of the measurements down to the low values of x to be measured in forthcoming experiments at HERA.

Measurements of the $u$ Valence Quark Distribution Function in the Proton and $u$ Quark Fragmentation Functions

The European Muon collaboration Arneodo, M. ; Arvidson, A. ; Aubert, J.J. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 321 (1989) 541-560, 1989.
Inspire Record 276746 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.33218

A new determination of the u valence quark distribution function in the proton is obtained from the analysis of identified charged pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons produced in muon-proton and muon-deuteron scattering. The comparison with results obtained in inclusive deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering provides a further test of the quark-parton model. The u quark fragmentation functions into positive and negative pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons are also measured.

Shadowing in deep inelastic muon scattering from nuclear targets

The European Muon collaboration Arneodo, M. ; Arvidson, A. ; Aubert, J.J. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 211 (1988) 493-499, 1988.
Inspire Record 262246 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29908

Results are presented on the ratio of the inelastic muon-nucleus cross section per nucleon for carbon and calcium relative to that for deuterium. The measurements were made in the kinematic range of low x (0.003–0.1) and low Q 2 (0.3–3.2 GeV 2 ) at an incident muon energy of 280 GeV. The calcium to deuterium ratio shows a significant x dependence which is interpreted as a shadowing effect. No strong Q 2 dependence is observed. This suggests that the effect is due at least partially to parton interactions within the nucleus.

Evidence for Anomalous Prompt Photons in Deep Inelastic Muon Scattering at 200-{GeV}

The European Muon collaboration Aubert, J.J. ; Bassompierre, G. ; Becks, K.H. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 218 (1989) 248-256, 1989.
Inspire Record 261250 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29855

The inclusive yield of photons has been measured from deep inelastic interactions of 200 GeV muons on hydrogen. After subtracting the contributions from hadron electromagnetic decays and Bethe-Heitler muon bremsstrahlung, residual photons are observed at low p T and low z at a mean level of 0.15±0.06 per interaction. The quark Compton scattering process is unable to explain the data, thus indicating an anomalous photon production.

COMPARISON BETWEEN HADRONIC FINAL STATES PRODUCED IN mu p AND e+ e- INTERACTIONS

The European Muon collaboration Arneodo, M. ; Arvidson, A. ; Aubert, J.J. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 35 (1987) 417, 1987.
Inspire Record 233424 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.16655

A comparison is made between the properties of the final state hadrons produced in 280 GeV μp interactions and ine+e− annihilation. The Lund model of hadroproduction is used as an aid in understanding the differences observed. The hadron distributions from μp ande+e− interactions are consistent with the quark parton model assumption of environmental independence, provided that the differences in heavy quark production and hard QCD effects in the two processes are taken into account. A comparison with aK+p experiment is also made. Values are also determined for the Lund model parameters σq = 0.410 ± 0.002 ± 0.020 GeV and σ′ = 0.29−0.15 −0.13+0.09+0.10 GeV, controlling the transverse momenta in fragmentation and intrinsic transverse momenta of the struck quark respectively.

$\rho^0$ and $\omega$ Production in Deep Inelastic $\mu p$ Interactions at 280-{GeV}/$c$

Inspire Record 231103 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15815

Inclusive distributions of ρ0 and ω mesons have been measured in deep inelastic μ-p interactions at 280 GeV/c. A comparison of the ρ0 cross sections with other leptoproduction experiments is presented. The ω results represent the first observation of this inclusive channel in high energy leptoproduction. The ρ0 and ω yields are found to be equal as may be expected from the available density of states in isospin space. This contrasts with spin angular momentum where the vector to pseudoscalar meson ratio is suppressed relative to the available number of spin states.

Charm Production in Deep Inelastic Muon - Iron Interactions at 200-{GeV}/$c$

The European Muon collaboration Arneodo, M. ; Aubert, J.J. ; Bassompierre, G. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 35 (1987) 1, 1987.
Inspire Record 230629 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15765

Dimuon and trimuon events have been studied in deep inelastic muon scattering on an iron target at an incident muon energy of 200 GeV. The events are shown to originate mainly from charm production. Comparison of the measured cross sections with data taken at higher muon energies shows that charm production originates predominantly from transverse virtual photons. Within the framework of the photon gluon fusion model this indicates that the parity of the gluon is odd.
