Possible Studies of Parton Distribution Functions at JHF
Abstract
We discuss possible studies of parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the nucleon and nuclei at the Japan Hadron Facility (JHF). First, the PDFs could be investigated by the 50 GeV primary proton facility. The distributions at medium x are determined, for example, by Drell-Yan measurements. Second, there are feasibility studies to propose a neutrino factory within the 50 GeV proton ring. If such an intensive high-energy neutrino facility is built, neutrino reactions should be able to provide valuable information on the PDFs, whereas the current structure functions have been measured mainly for neutrino-iron reactions.
