Electromagnetic and Weak Nuclear Structure Functions in the Intermediate Region of
We have studied nuclear structure functions and
for electromagnetic and weak processes in the region of . The nuclear medium effects arising due to Fermi motion,
binding energy, nucleon correlations, mesonic contributions and shadowing
effects are taken into account using a many body field theoretical approach.
The calculations are performed in a local density approximation using a
relativistic nucleon spectral function. The results are compared with the
available experimental data. Implications of nuclear medium effects on the
validity of Callan-Gross relation are also discussed.Comment: Published in Journal of the Physical Society of Japan (NuInt-2015
Nucleon and nuclear structure functions with non-perturbative and higher order perturbative QCD effects
We have studied the nucleon structure functions ,
by including contributions due to the higher order perturbative QCD effect up
to NNLO and the non-perturbative effects due to the kinematical and dynamical
higher twist (HT) effects. The numerical results for are
obtained using Martin, Motylinski, Harland-Lang, Thorne (MMHT) 2014 NLO and
NNLO nucleon parton distribution functions (PDFs). The dynamical HT correction
has been included following the renormalon approach as well as the
phenomenological approach and the kinematical HT effect is incorporated using
the works of Schienbein et al. These nucleon structure functions have been used
as an input to calculate the nuclear structure functions .
In a nucleus, the nuclear corrections arise because of the Fermi motion,
binding energy, nucleon correlations, mesonic contribution, shadowing and
antishadowing effects. These nuclear corrections are taken into account in the
numerical calculations to obtain the nuclear structure functions , for the various nuclear targets like , , ,
, , and which are of experimental
interest.
The effect of isoscalarity correction for nonisoscalar nuclear targets has
also been studied.
The results for the are compared with nCTEQ nuclear
PDFs parameterization as well as with the experimental results from JLab, SLAC
and NMC in the kinematic region of for several nuclei.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1705.0990
