Application of the Two-Scale Model to the HERMES Data on Nuclear Attenuation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-09-06 v2

Abstract

The Two-Scale Model and its improved version were used to perform the fit to the HERMES data for ν\nu (the virtual photon energy) and z (the fraction of ν\nu carried by hadron) dependencies of nuclear multiplicity ratios for π+\pi^+ and π\pi^- mesons electro-produced on two nuclear targets (14^{14}N and 84^{84}Kr). The quantitative criterium χ2\chi ^2 was used for the first time to analyse the results of the model fit to the nuclear multiplicity ratios data. The two-parameter's fit gives satisfactory agreement with the HERMES data. Best values of the parameters were then used to calculate the ν\nu- and zz - dependencies of nuclear attenuation for π0\pi^0, K+^+, K^- and pˉ\bar{p} produced on 84^{84}Kr target, and also make a predictions for ν\nu, z and the Q2^2 (the photon virtuality) - dependencies of nuclear attenuation data for those identified hadrons and nuclea, that will be published by HERMES.
