We report on the measurement of the beam spin asymmetry in the deeply virtual Compton scattering off 4He using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Lab using a 6 GeV longitudinally polarized electron beam incident on a pressurized 4He gaseous target. We detail the method used to ensure the exclusivity of the measured reactions, in particular the upgrade of CLAS with a radial time projection chamber to detect the low-energy recoiling 4He nuclei and an inner calorimeter to extend the photon detection acceptance at forward angles. Our results confirm the theoretically predicted enhancement of the …
Drell-Yan Angular Lepton Distributions At Small X From Tmd Factorization, Ian Balitsky
Drell-Yan Angular Lepton Distributions At Small X From Tmd Factorization, Ian Balitsky
Physics Faculty Publications
The Drell-Yan process is studied in the framework of TMD factorization in the Sudakov region s » Q2 » q2⊥ corresponding to recent LHC experiments with Q2 of order of mass of Z-boson and transverse momentum of DY pair ∼ few tens GeV. The DY hadronic tensors are expressed in terms of quark and quark-gluon TMDs with 1Q2 and 1Nc2 accuracy. It is demonstrated that in the leading order in Nc the higher-twist quark-quark-gluon TMDs reduce to leading-twist TMDs due to QCD equation of motion. The resulting hadronic tensors depend on …

We perform a comprehensive new Monte Carlo analysis of high-energy lepton-lepton, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron scattering data to simultaneously determine parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the proton and parton to hadron fragmentation functions (FFs). The analysis includes all available semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering and single-inclusive e+e− annihilation data for pions, kaons and unidentified charged hadrons, which allows the flavor dependence of the fragmentation functions to be constrained. Employing a new multistep fitting strategy and more flexible parametrizations for both PDFs and FFs, we assess the impact of different datasets on sea quark densities and confirm the previously observed suppression …
Gauge-Invariant Tmd Factorization For Drell-Yan Hadronic Tensor At Small X, Ian Balitsky
Gauge-Invariant Tmd Factorization For Drell-Yan Hadronic Tensor At Small X, Ian Balitsky
Physics Faculty Publications
The Drell-Yan hadronic tensor for electromagnetic (EM) current is calculated in the Sudakov region s ≫ Q2 ≫q⊥2 with 1Q² accuracy, first at the tree level and then with the double-log accuracy. It is demonstrated that in the leading order in Nc the higher-twist quark-quark-gluon TMDs reduce to leading-twist TMDs due to QCD equation of motion. The resulting tensor for unpolarized hadrons is EM gauge-invariant and depends on two leading-twist TMDs: f1 responsible for total DY cross section, and Boer-Mulders function h1⊥. The order-of-magnitude estimates of angular distributions for DY …
