We report the results of a Monte Carlo global QCD analysis of unpolarized parton distribution functions (PDFs), including for the first time constraints from ratios of He3 to H3 structure functions recently obtained by the MARATHON experiment at Jefferson Lab. Our simultaneous analysis of nucleon PDFs and nuclear effects in A=2 and A=3 nuclei reveals the first indication for an isovector nuclear EMC effect in light nuclei. We find that while the MARATHON data yield relatively weak constraints on the F2n/F2p neutron to proton structure function ratio and on the d/u PDF ratio, they suggest an enhanced nuclear effect on the d-quark PDF in the bound proton, questioning the assumptions commonly made in nuclear PDF analyses.

使用 MARATHON 数据进行全球 QCD 分析的等向量 EMC 效应

我们报告了非极化部分分布函数 (PDF) 的 Monte Carlo 全局 QCD 分析的结果,包括第一次来自 3H3最近通过杰斐逊实验室的马拉松实验获得的结构函数。我们同时分析核子 PDF 和核效应一个=2一个=3原子核揭示了轻原子核中等向量核 EMC 效应的第一个迹象。我们发现虽然 MARATHON 数据对F2n/F2p 中子与质子的结构函数比和 d/ PDF 比率,他们表明核效应对 d-quark PDF 在束缚质子中,质疑核 PDF 分析中通常做出的假设。
