Prof. Jacques SOFFER (Temple University, Philadelphia, PA USA)23/04/2013, 16:30Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013The theoretical foundations of the quantum statistical approach to parton distributions are reviewed together with the phenomenological motivations from a few specific features of Deep Inelastic Scattering data. The chiral properties of QCD lead to strong relations between quarks and antiquarks distributions and automatically account for the flavor and helicity symmetry breaking of the sea. We...Go to contribution page

Dr Hannu Paukkunen (University of Jyväskylä, Finland)23/04/2013, 16:54Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013In this talk, we discuss the compatibility of different deeply inelastic neutrino-nucleus data sets and the universal nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs). This is an issue that has lately been investigated by different groups but the conclusions have been contradictory. While some studies have found a good overall agreement between the nuclear PDFs and the neutrino data,...Go to contribution page

Karol Kovarik (University of Karlsruhe)23/04/2013, 17:18Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013A global analysis of the proton PDF requires a combination of DIS, DY, and jet data. The flavor differentiation depends heavily on the DIS data, much of which is measured on nuclear targets; hence the nuclear PDFs (nPDFs) come into play. A global nPDF analysis finds tensions between the nuclear correction factors in various data sets. We explore possible sources of this tension, and...Go to contribution page

Prof. Barbara Badelek (University of Warsaw, Poland)23/04/2013, 17:42Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013A description of a nucleon structure in terms of partons demands knowledge of parton momentum-, helicity- and transversity distribution functions. COMPASS facility at CERN, with its high energy, polarised muon beam, large polarised proton- and deuteron targets and particle identification detectors, permits investigating the (longitudinal and transverse) spin-dependent structure...Go to contribution page
