Abstract
Semi-inclusive þ electroproduction on protons has been measured with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. The measurement was performed on a liquid-hydrogen target using a 5.75 GeV electron beam. The complete five-fold differential cross sections were measured over a wide kinematic range including the complete range of azimuthal angles between hadronic and leptonic planes, , enabling us to separate the -dependent terms. Our measurements of the -independent term of the cross section at low Bjorken x were found to be in fairly good agreement with pQCD calculations. Indeed, the conventional current fragmentation calculation can account for almost all of the observed cross section, even at small þ momentum. The measured center-of-momentum spectra are in qualitative agreement with highenergy data, which suggests a surprising numerical similarity between the spectator diquark fragmentation in the present reaction and the antiquark fragmentation measured in eþe collisions. We have observed that the two -dependent terms of the cross section are small. Within our precision the cos2 term is compatible with zero, except for the low-z region, and the measured cos term is much smaller in magnitude than the sum of the Cahn and Berger effects.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
