Title: First measurement of unpolarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering cross sections from a He 3 target [First measurement of unpolarized SIDIS cross section from a 3He target]

Abstract

The unpolarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) differential cross sections in He 3 ( e , e' π± ) X have been measured for the first time in Jefferson Lab experiment E06-010 with a 5.9 GeV e- beam on a He 3 gas target. The experiment focuses on the valence quark region, covering a kinematic range 0.12 < x b j < 0.45 , 1 < Q2 < 4 ( GeV / c ) 2 , 0.45 < z h < 0.65 , and 0.05 < P t < 0.55 GeV / c . The extracted SIDIS differential cross sections of π± production are compared with existing phenomenological models while the He 3 nucleus approximated as two protons and one neutron in a plane-wave picture, in multidimensional bins. Within the experimental uncertainties, the azimuthal modulations of the cross sections are found to be consistent with zero.
