Abstract

In this paper, we present {\tt SMKA18} analysis which is a first attempt to extract the set of next-to-next-leading-order (NNLO) spin-dependent parton distribution functions (spin-dependent PDFs) and their uncertainties determined through the Laplace transform technique and Jacobi polynomial approach. Using the Laplace transformations, we present an analytical solution for the spin-dependent Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations at NNLO approximation. The results are extracted using a wide range of proton $g_1^{p}(x, Q^2)$, neutron $g_1^{n}(x, Q^2)$ and deuteron $g_1^{d}(x, Q^2)$ spin-dependent structure functions dataset including the most recent high-precision measurements from {\tt COMPASS16} experiments at CERN which are playing an increasingly important role in global spin-dependent fits. The careful estimations of uncertainties have been done using the standard 'Hessian error' propagation. We will compare our results with the available spin-dependent inclusive deep inelastic scattering dataset and other results for the spin-dependent PDFs in literature. The results obtained for the spin-dependent PDFs as well as spin-dependent structure functions are clearly explained both in the small and large values of $x$.

Highlights

  • We present SMKA18 analysis, which is a first attempt to extract the set of next-to-nextleading-order (NNLO) spin-dependent parton distribution functions and their uncertainties determined through the Laplace transform technique and Jacobi polynomial approach

  • Before starting our detailed discussions on SMKA18 spindependent parton distribution functions (PDFs) determinations, we would like to illustrate the present status of spin-dependent PDF sets at NLO and NNLO QCD approximations and discuss some differences, briefly, which are clearly visible

  • The detailed study of the spin-dependent PDFs of the nucleon and the spin structure of hadron are active interdisciplinary research field lying at the crossroads of high-energy hadronic and nuclear physics, with important applications in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) phenomenology

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The structure of hadrons, unpolarized parton distribution functions (PDFs) [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14] and spin-dependent PDFs dynamics [15,16,17,18,19,20,21], is an interesting topic, which continues to attract more attention from large physics communities [22]. Using the available and up-to-date data sets, many various global QCD analyses of nucleon spin structure at next-toleading (NLO) accuracy have been completed recently These spin-dependent PDF analyses incorporate NNPDF Collaboration NNDPFpol1.1 [15], DSSV09 [36], Asymmetry Analysis Collaboration AAC09 [37], BB10 [38], LSS10 [39], DSSV14 [40], and the recent analyses from Jefferson Lab (JAM) Collaboration (JAM13 [16], JAM14 [17], JAM15 [18]), and the most recent next-to-next-leading-order (NNLO) QCD analyses from TKAA16 [19], KTA-I-17 [20], and KTA-II-17 [21]. Appendix B includes the coefficient functions of singlet distributions in the Laplace space
