A review of recent lattice QCD hadron structure calculations is presented. Important hadronic properties such as the axial charge and spin content of the nucleon, as well as, the mass and axial charge of hyperons and charmed baryons are…
We review the current status of experimental and theoretical understanding of the axial nucleon structure at low and moderate energies. Topics considered include (quasi)elastic (anti)neutrino-nucleon scattering, charged pion…
We use the unintegrated Parton Density Functions of the gluon obtained from a fit to measurements of the structure functions F2 and F2c at HERA to describe the experimental data for F2b, FL and FL at fixed W.
We review recent progress in the experimental knowledge of and theoretical speculations about nucleon form factors, with special emphasis on the large Q2 region.
Using the recent relatively precise experimental results on the pion structure function, obtained from Drell--Yan processes, we quantitatively test an old model where the structure function of any hadron is determined by that of its…
SMC performed an investigation of the spin structure of the nucleon by measuring deep inelastic scattering of polarised muons off polarised protons and deuterons. A summary of the results for spin structure functions and sum rules is given.
The electromagnetic form factors have attracted lot of theoretical and experimental attention recently as they encode extensive information on the internal structure of the hadron. An understanding of the form factors is necessary to…
We give an update on our ongoing efforts to compute the nucleon's form factors and moments of structure functions using Nf=2 flavours of non-perturbatively improved Clover fermions. We focus on new results obtained on gauge configurations…
Neutron structure functions can be extracted from proton and deuteron data and a representation of the deuteron structure. This procedure does not require DIS approximations or quark structure assumptions. We find that the results depend…
We review recent progress in hadron structure using lattice QCD simulations, with main focus in the evaluation of nucleon quantities such as the axial and tensor charges, and the spin con- tent of the nucleon, using simulations at pion…
The first measurements of the diffractive structure function $F_2^{D(3)}$ at HERA are discussed. A factorisable interpretation in which a partonic structure is assigned to the pomeron is investigated through QCD analyses in which both the…
Generalized parton distributions have been introduced in recent years as a suitable theoretical tool to study the structure of the nucleon. Unifying the concepts of parton distributions and hadronic form factors, they provide a…
Results of experiments probing the structure of the pomeron at hadron colliders and at HERA are reviewed. By renormalizing the pomeron flux factor in diffraction dissociation as dictated by unitarity, a picture emerges from the data in…
A summary of recent results reported in the Structure Functions and Low-x working group at the DIS 2009 Workshop is given. Recent measurements of deep inelastic scattering cross sections and structure functions at HERA and of proton…
We review some selected recent results on hadron spectroscopy and related theoretical studies based on constituent quark models.
We explain spin structure for a spin-one hadron, in which there are new structure functions, in addition to the ones ($F_1$, $F_2$, $g_1$, $g_2$) which exist for the spin-1/2 nucleon, associated with its tensor structure. The new structure…
Form factors are Lorentz invariant functions describing the internal structure of a system. In particular, they encode how physical properties like, e.g., charge, energy, momentum, and pressure are spatially distributed. While nucleon…
The vast bulk of visible mass emerges from nonperturbative dynamics within quantum chromodynamics (QCD) -- the strong interaction sector of the Standard Model. The past decade has revealed the three pillars that support this emergent hadron…
We report on recent results of the QCDSF/UKQCD Collaboration on investigations of baryon structure using configurations generated with N_f=2+1 dynamical flavours of O(a) improved Wilson fermions. With the strange quark mass as an additional…
Photoproduction of mesons is an excellent tool for the study of nucleon resonances. Complementary to pion induced reactions, photoproduction on the free proton contributes to the determination of the basic properties of nucleon resonances…
