Structure Function

In the first paper of E80 [10], they showed an asymmetry only and did not extract . In next paper [11], they used (eventual as same as ) data from ref.[1]. E130 used evaluated at GeV of ref.[2].

In EMC, values are taken from EMC parameterization [3] but corrected from the value R=0 assumed in that paper to the QCD value of R. There were some inconsistency between their and others parameterization. So, for the final number of the integral of , EMC used an averaged from different sources.

Since 1993, NMC parameterization[4] has been widely used by the all post-EMC experiments, except E142. E142 used SLAC parameterization [5]. NMC fit is based on 15-parameter function [6]:

 

with GeV, GeV and



The second term, , accounts for the leading order perturbative evolution, whereas the third one, , is mainly responsible for non-perturbative dependence.

NMC fitted their data together with those of SLAC [5] and BCDMS [8] to obtain parameters listed in Table. ii. They found that EMC data show clear differences compared with the others.

In 1995, NMC published a new set of parameters [7] which supersedes their previous analysis [4]. New parameters are also listed in Table ii. They compared their results with E665 (FNAL DIS experiment using 490 GeV muon) or HERA and found good agreements.

It is possible to build from the set of parton distribution function. However, most of PDF sets start minimum or 5 GeV, which means they cannot cover a part of polarized DIS experiment data region. Fig.5 shows new and old NMC parameterization and from GRV94LO[9] together with NMC data. The parameterization GRV94 given by dynamical approach requires valence and valence-like input and valence-like gluon and sea input distributions. For the former, they used within for the latter, previous NMC, BCDMS and SLAC data at and GeV are used. The gluon distribution at larger is constrained by the direct-photon. These parameter are also constrained by the energy momentum conservation.

Although there are small differences between old and new parameterizations at first three x-bin in high region, the parameterization has the same amount of uncertainties at that region. Then, those are not significant.

There is a good agreement between the NMC parameterization and GRV94LO in general. However, one can see a little discrepancy at low and range, where NMC data still exist. The situation seems not to be improved even if one uses NLO fit [9]. Since there are a lot of p-DIS data in this region, the NMC phenomenological fit seem to be suitable for our purpose.
