T h e possibility of studying the nuclear gluon distribution by looking at large transverse momentum jets in deep inelastic lepton scattering is investigated. Provided that a colliding beam of leptons and nuclei, rather than a fixed nuclear target, can be arranged, a clean measurement of gluon shadowing appears possible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
