Inclusive and
Semi-inclusive DIS
Inclusive DIS:
Partonic Distribution depending on
the longitudinal momentum fraction
Semi-inclusive DIS:
Probe additional information for parto
transverse distribution in nucleon

Different P? Region



Integrate out P?
-- similar to inclusive DIS, probe int. PDF
Large P? (ÀQCD)
-- hard gluon radiation, can be calculated from
perturbative QCD,
Polarized ->q-g-q correlations
Low P? (»QCD)
-- nonperturbative information (TMD): new
factorization formula

One-loop Factorization: virtual
•Vertex corrections (single quark target)
p′
p
k
Four possible regions for the gluon
momentum k:
1) k is collinear to p (parton distribution)
2) k is collinear to p′ (fragmentation)
3) k is soft (Soft factor)
4) k is hard (pQCD correction)

 Gluon Radiation (single quark target)
p′
k
p
Three reagions for the gluon momentum k:
1) k is collinear to p (parton distribution)
2) k is collinear to p′ (fragmentation)
3) k is soft (Soft factor)

Summary


The QCD factorization theorem has been
proved for semi-inclusive DIS
Some phenomenological studies showed very
promising results as compared with the old data
and on the predictions for the future
experiments as well
