Mesonic Corrections to the Shape of Quark Distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-03-26 v1

Abstract

We compute the full x - dependence of the proton and neutron spin structure functions in the MIT bag model, including the effect of gluon exchange and the meson cloud. Impressive agreement is found for x larger than 0.1, where polarised gluons are not expected to play a significant role.
