6 The Quark Parton Model Before quarks and gluons were generally accepted, Feynman proposed that the proton was made up out of point-like constituents (partons). Two pictures of DIS: scattering from proton scattering from point-like parton (quark or gluon) within the proton p 1 e e p 3 p 1 e e p 3 p p W, p 4 p p W, p 4 In the parton model the basic interaction is ELASTIC scattering from a quasi-free spin ½ particle (quasi-free no IA among themselves) 6

7 The Quark Parton Model in Infinite Momentum Frame scattering from point-like parton (quark or gluon) within the proton e p e 3 p p 1 p after IA: q W, p 4 Infinite momenton frame : neglect proton mass, electron mass and any transverse momentum to the direction of the proton. before IA: p Q = ξ p ξ: frac. of proton momentum carried by parton p Q = ξ p + q p Q = ξ p + q + ξp q = m Q = 0 ξ = = m Q = 0 q p q = x Bjorken x can be identified as the fraction of the proton momentum carried by the quark, participating in the scatter process (in the frame where the proton has very high energy) 7

8 Elastic Scattering at point-like spin ½ target at rest Dirac cross-section: (point-like S=1/ particle, recoil, helicity term and spin-spin IA taken into account) In proton rest frame: dσ dω quark,x = α e i 4E 1 sin 4 ϴ/ E 3 E 1 (cos ϴ/ + Q M Q sin ϴ/) e i : quark charge in units of e p Q = x p p Q = x p = x M = M Q LI: dσ dq quark,x = 4πα e i 1 y + y Q 4 This is expression for the differential cross-section for elastic scattering from a parton with s=1/ carrying a fraction x of the proton momentum. Next: Need to account for quark momentum distribution within the proton: q p (x), parton momentum density (p in index is for parton of proton) 8

9 Expected Parton Distribution Function q p (x) q p (x) q p (x) / /3 single Dirac proton three static quarks three interacting quarks q p (x) sea valence three interacting quarks and additional sea quarks and energy carried by the gluons (50%) 0 1 1/3 valence quarks sea quarks + higher order q p (x) all quarks in proton q p v(x) valence quarks q p u(x) u quarks. 9

10 Bjorken Scaling Hypothesis dσ dq quark = dσ dq quark,x q i (x) dx = 4πα 1 y + y Q 4 e i q p i x dx sum over all quark species d ς dxdq proton = 4πα y 1 y + Q4 i e i q p i(x) Compare with electron proton cross-section in terms of structure functions: d ς dxdq proton = 4πα Q 4 1 y F (x, Q ) x + y F 1 (x, Q ) F (x,q ) = x F 1 (x,q ) = x i e i q p i(x) Bjorken scaling hypothesis: If the proton consists of point-like partons, structure functions for fixed x do not depend on Q. Structure functions are related to underlying momentum distribution! Callen-Cross relation: If the spin of the partons s=1/ than F (x) = x F 1 (x). 10

11 SLAC/MIT Experiment 11

12 SLAC/MIT Experiment (197) if scattering is caused by point-like constituents (partons) structure functions for fixed x must be independent of Q scale invariance scaline experimental observation: F 1 (x,q ) F 1 (x) Proton consists out of point-like partons! F (x,q ) F (x) 1

The rest is carried by gluons! 17

The rest is carried by gluons! 18

19 Valence and Sea Quarks u v x dx = u x u x dx = d v x dx = d x d x dx = 1 q s x q s x dx = 0 No apriori expectation for the total number of sea quarks in the proton! Sea quarks arise from gluon quark/anti-quark pair production and with m u m d it is reasonable to expect: u s (x) = d s (x) = u s x = d s x = S(x) F ep (x) = x [ 4 9 u x + u x d x + d x ] = x [ 4 9 u v x d v x S x ] F en (x)= x [ 4 9 d v x u v x S x ] F en (x) F ep (x) = 4d v x + u v x + 10 S(x) 4u v x + d v x + 10S(x) 19

20 F en (x) F ep (x) = 4d v x + u v x + 10S(x) 4u v x + d v x + 10S(x) Valence and Sea Quarks Sea quarks come from g qq processes. Due to 1/q dependence of propagator way more likely to produce low energy gluons. Expect sea quarks to dominate at low energies. F en (x) F ep (x) 1 for x 0 Confirmed by experiment! At high x expect the sea contributions to be small F en (x) 4d x :u (x) v v F ep (x) 4u v x :d v (x) for x 1 Note: u v =d v would give ratio /3 for x 1 however experimentally observed: F en (x) 1 F ep (x) 4 for x 1 d v (x)/u v (x) 0 for x 1 d and u valence quark distributions have not the same shape! 0

21 Parton Distribution Functions of Proton Ultimatively functions obtained from fit to all data! d valence quarks have in average lower momentum than u valence quarks d quarks have in average higher momenta than u aboundance of heavier sea quarks are highly suppressed Sea quarks have lower momenta than valence Quarks. Gluons dominate at low Momenta. How to access sea quark distributions? How to access gluon distributions? 1

32 Summary Inelastic Scattering of e-p established the Quark-Parton Model: The proton is made of point-like particle: valence quarks + low momentum sea quarks. (Bjorken-Scaling-Hypothesis (structur functions depend on one parameter only) was verified in data) Quarks are spin=1/ particles Structure functions can be associated to Quark momentum distributions Quarks carry 50% of the proton momentum, (the rest is carried by gluons) Exploiting en, ep, en and eν give a handle to measure the momentum distributions of valence and sea quarks in the proton 3
