Measurement of Hadron Multiplicities in Deep Inelastic Scattering and Extraction of Quark Fragmentation Functions / Mesure de multiplicités des Hadrons en Diffusion Profondément inélastique et Extraction de Fonctions de Fragmentation des Quark

Curiel Garcia, Quiela Marina 11 December 2014 (has links)
One of the goals of the COMPASS experience is the study of the nucleon spin structure. Data were taken from a polarized muon beam (160 GeV/c) scattering off a polarized target (6LiD or NH3). In this context, the need of a precise knowledge of quark Fragmentation Functions (final-state hadronisation of quarks q into hadrons h, FFs) was raised. The FFs can be extracted from hadron multiplicities produced in Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS). This thesis presents the measurement of charged hadrons (pions and kaons) multiplicities from SIDIS data collected in 2006. The data cover a large kinematical range: Q2>1 (GeV/c)2, y є [0.1,0.9], x є [0.004,0.7] and W є [5,17] GeV. These multiplicities provide an important input for global QCD analyses of world data at NLO, aiming at the FFs determination. / L'un des objectifs de l'expérience COMPASS est l'étude de la structure du nucléon de spin. Les données ont été prises à partir d'un faisceau de muons polarisée (160 GeV/c) diffuse sur une cible polarisée (6LiD ou NH3). Dans ce contexte, la nécessité d'une connaissance précise des fonctions de fragmentation des quarks (état final du hadronisation de quarks q en hadrons h, FFs) a été soulevée. Le FFs peuvent être extraites de multiplicités de hadrons produits en Semi-Inclusive diffusion profondément inélastique (SIDIS). Cette thèse présente la mesure de la multiplicité de hadrons charge (pions et kaons) à partir de données SIDIS collectées en 2006. Les données couvrent un large domaine cinématique : Q2>1 (GeV/c)2, y є [0.1,0.9], x є [0.004,0.7] and W є [5,17] GeV. Ces multiplicités fournissent un apport important pour l'analyse des données mondiales au 2ème ordre de QCD, visant la détermination de FFs.

Nízkoteplotní polarizovaný terč pro studium spinové struktury nuklonů v experimentu COMPASS / Low temperature polarized target for spin structure studies of nucleons at COMPASS

Pešek, Michael January 2014 (has links)
Title: Low temperature polarized target for spin structure studies of nucleons at COMPASS Author: Bc. Michael Pešek Department: Department of low temperature physics Supervisor of the master thesis: prof. Ing. Miroslav Finger, DrSc. Abstract: In presented thesis we describe concept of Deep Inelastic Scattering of leptons on nucleons in context of nucleon spin structure studies. Both polarized and unpolarized cases are discussed and concept of Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distribution Functions (TMD PDF) is introduced. The possibility of TMDs measurement using Semi-inclusive DIS (SIDIS) is described along with related results from COMPASS experiment. The future Drell-Yan programme at COMPASS is briefly mentioned and its importance is presented on the universality test i.e. change of sign of T-odd TMDs when measured in Drell-Yan and SIDIS. The importance of Polarized Target (PT) for spin structure studies is highlighted and principles of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) are given using both Solid effect and spin temperature concept. COMPASS experiment is described in many details with accent given to PT. Finally the thermal equilibrium (TE) calibration procedure is described and carried out for 2010 and 2011 physics runs at COMPASS. The average polarization measurement results from 2010 and 2011 are...

Pionem indukovaný polarizovaný Drell-Yan proces v experimentu COMPASS / Pion-induced polarized Drell-Yan process at Compass

Pešek, Michael January 2020 (has links)
In this work we present the basic theoretical concepts of the description of the nucleon spin structure. The theoretical background of two processes of interest - Semi-inclusive DIS and Drell-Yan - in the terms of Transverse Momentum De- pendent Parton distribution Functions is presented. The COMPASS experiment and particularly its unique polarised target are described in detail. Several target related measurements are presented. The express analysis and detector efficien- cies analysis are presented as examples of important hardware related analysis. Finally two measurements of Transverse Spin Asymmetries are presented. The first measurement is the measurement of the Transverse Spin Asymmetries in J/ψ production in the Semi-inclusive DIS on polarised protons. The second mea- surement is the measurement of Transverse Spin Asymmetries in J/ψ in the π− p polarised Drell-Yan data. 1

Polarisation of quarks and gluons inside the nucleon / Polarisation des quarks et des gluons dans le nucléon

Andrieux, Vincent 30 September 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse présente un travail relatif à l'étude de la structure en spin longitudinal du nucléon. Le but est de déterminer la contribution des constituants du proton, quarks et gluons, à la formation de son spin 1/2. L'analyse s'appuie sur les données de l'expérience COMPASS qui bénéficie d'un faisceau de muons polarisés à 200 GeV diffusé sur les protons polarisés d'une cible d'ammoniac (NH₃) de 1,2 m de long. On mesure l'asymétrie de spin longitudinal des sections efficaces de diffusion profondément inélastique. On extrait la fonction de structure en spin du proton, g₁p, étendant la couverture cinématique mondiale à des régions inexplorées jusqu'à maintenant (0,0036 < x < 0,57; 1,03 < Q² (GeV/c)² < 96 et 23 < W² (GeV/c)² < 320). Les résultats, d'une grande précision statistique, sont inclus dans une analyse des données mondiales de g₁p, g₁d et g₁n (proton, deutéron et neutron) au 2ème ordre de QCD afin de paramétrer les distributions de quarks et de gluons polarisés. L'étendue de la couverture cinématique en x et Q² des données mondiales de g₁, un élément déterminant pour la sensibilité à la polarisation des gluons ΔG, s'avère trop limitée pour constituer une extraction précise de celle-Ci. Néanmoins, l'analyse QCD permet de déterminer la contribution du spin des quarks au spin du proton à 0.26<ΔΣ<0.33 à Q² = 3 (GeV/c)² dans le schéma MSbar. L'étude montre que l'incertitude principale sur ΔΣ est liée au choix des formes fonctionnelles utilisées dans la régression des données. Enfin, la règle de somme de Bjorken, qui constitue un test de QCD, est vérifiée avec une précision de 9% en utilisant les données de COMPASS uniquement. / The work presented in this thesis is related to the study of the longitudinal spin structure of the nucleon. The aim is to determine the contribution to the spin 1/2 of the proton in terms of its constituents, quarks and gluons. The analysis is performed on the data taken with the COMPASS experiment, which benefits from a polarised muon beam at 200 GeV scattered off polarised protons from an ammonia target of 1.2 m long. The double longitudinal spin asymmetry of deep inelastic scattering cross-Section. The spin-Dependent structure function of the proton g₁p is derived from these measurements, which extend the kinematic world coverage to unexplored region so far (0,0036 < x< 0,57; 1,03 < Q² (GeV/c)² < 96 and 23 < W² (GeV/c)² < 320).The results obtained with a high statistical precision are included in a Next-To-Leading order QCD analysis of world g₁p, g₁d and g₁n (proton, deuteron and neutron) data to parametrise the polarised quark and gluon distributions. The g₁ world coverage of the x and Q² kinematic domain, which is a key point in the sensitivity to the gluon polarisation ΔG, turns out to be too limited for an accurate ΔG determination. Nevertheless, the QCD analysis allows to determine the quark spin contributions to the proton spin to 0.26<ΔΣ<0.33 at Q² = 3 (GeV/c)² in the MSbar scheme. The dominant uncertainty on ΔΣ is related to the choice of functional forms assumed in the fit. Finally, the Bjorken sum rule, which constitutes a fundamental test of QCD, is verified on the COMPASS data alone with a precision of 9%.
