Precision Measurement Of The Spin Structure Of The Proton And The Deuteron, Frank R. Wesselmann Apr 2000

Precision Measurement Of The Spin Structure Of The Proton And The Deuteron, Frank R. Wesselmann

Physics Theses & Dissertations

Experiment E155 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center measured the spin structure functions g1 and g2 of the proton and deuteron using deep inelastic scattering of 50 GeV polarized electrons from dynamically polarized, solid 15NH3 and 6LiD targets. Three independent spectrometers, covering a large kinematic region, 0.014 < xBjorken < 0.9 and 1 < Q2 < 40 (GeV /c)2, detected 200 million events. A fully self-consistent and statistically sound approach to calculating radiative corrections was developed, providing well-defined statistical errors for the E155 data set. Also, a comprehensive fit to the global data set was created which simultaneously …


Generalized Compton Amplitudes In Quantum Chromodynamics, Ignati Grigentch Apr 2000

Generalized Compton Amplitudes In Quantum Chromodynamics, Ignati Grigentch

Physics Theses & Dissertations

In this dissertation we describe results of our studies of generalized Compton amplitudes. We have calculated the one-loop corrections to the amplitude in the coordinate representation in terms of nonlocal string light-ray operators. We have also developed a consistent approach to the problem of constructing the gauge invariant Compton amplitude and obtained an expression for the explicitly gauge invariant amplitude which includes all the generalized target-mass corrections.


High Energy Effective Action From Scattering Of Shock Waves In Qcd, Ian Balitsky Jan 2000

High Energy Effective Action From Scattering Of Shock Waves In Qcd, Ian Balitsky

Physics Faculty Publications

The author demonstrates that the amplitude for high-energy scattering can be factorized as a convolution of the contributions due to fast and slow fields. The fast and slow fields interact by means of Wilson-line operators -- infinite gauge factors ordered along the straight line. The resulting factorization formula gives a starting point for a new approach to the effective action for high-energy scattering in QCD.


Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering At Small X, Ian Balitsky, Elena Kuchina Jan 2000

Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering At Small X, Ian Balitsky, Elena Kuchina

Physics Faculty Publications

We calculate the cross section of deeply virtual Compton scattering at large energies and intermediate momentum transfers.
