We have measured with a tunnel probe the energy distribution function of quasiparticles in silver diffusive wires connected to two large pads (``reservoirs''), between which a bias voltage was applied. From the dependence in energy and bias…
Azimuthal single-spin asymmetries (SSA) in semi-inclusive electroproduction of pi-mesons and charged K-mesons in deep-inelastic scattering of positrons and electrons on a transversely polarised hydrogen target were observed. Significant SSA…
The HERMES collaboration presents two sets of recent results: the first related to an extraction of the g2 nucleon structure function determined for DIS on a polarised target and the second related to the measurement of asymmetries related…
We present a global re-analysis of the most recent experimental data on azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, from the HERMES and COMPASS Collaborations, and in e+e- --> h_1 h_2 X processes, from the Belle…
We consider the azimuthal and $P_T$ dependence of hadrons produced in unpolarized Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) processes, within the factorized QCD parton model. It is shown that at small $P_T$ values, $P_T \lsim 1$…
Using the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equations for heavy baryons Lambda_Q, Sigma_Q, Xi_Q and Omega_Q (Q=b or c), which were established in previous work, we calculate the heavy quark distribution functions in these baryons. The numerical results…
The HERMES and SMC experiments have determined the contribution of different quark flavors to the nucleon spin in a large range of Bjorken-x via semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. The main goal of the COMPASS experiment is to measure…
Measurement of the distribution of hadronic energy in the final state in deeply inelastic electron scattering at HERA can provide a good test of our understanding of perturbative QCD. For this purpose, we consider the energy distribution…

By extending the statistical distributions to the transverse degree of freedhom, we account for a multiplicative factor in the Fermi-Dirac functions of the light quarks, we were led to introduce in a previous work to comply with experiment.…
In this paper a discussion is made of the article by the HERMES Collaboration, Phys.Lett. B666,446, where several important results concerning strange quark properties in the nucleon were presented. By analysing the sum of K+-…

Semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) is a promising channel for the extraction of transverse momentum dependent distributions at future colliders. In this context, we recently developed a framework that uses jets (instead of…
An earlier extraction from the HERMES experiment of the polarization-averaged parton distribution of strange quarks in the nucleon has been reevaluated using final data on the multiplicities of charged kaons in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic…
There is an apparent discrepancy between the results of the charged kaon multiplicities off the deuteron target from HERMES and COMPASS experiments. In this article we point out that this discrepancy cannot be explained by different $Q^2$…
A previous approach with Fermi-Dirac distributions for fermion partons is here improved to comply with the expected low $x$ behaviour of structure functions. We are so able to get a fair description of the unpolarized and polarized…
Using a simple picture of the constituent quark as a composite system of point-like partons, we construct the parton distributions by a convolution between constituent quark momentum distributions and constituent quark structure functions.…
