The Shape of Polarized Gluon Distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

The recent high precision SMC data on polarized μp\mu p scatterings have again confirmed that very little of the proton spin is carried by quarks. To unravel the mystery of the proton spin structure, it is quite important to know the behavior of the polarized gluon distribution. By using the positivity condition of distribution functions together with the unpolarized and polarized experimental data, we restrict the xx dependence of the polarized gluon distribution.
