Positivity Constraints for Spin-Dependent Parton Distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-11-01 v2

Abstract

We derive new positivity constraints on the spin-dependent structure functions of the nucleon. These model independent results reduce conside\-rably their domain of allowed values, in particular for the chiral-odd parton distribution h1(x)h_1 (x).
