Title: Extractions of polarized and unpolarized parton distribution functions

Conference · · International Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series
 [1]
  1. JLAB, Newport News, VA (United States)

An overview of our ongoing extractions of parton distribution functions of the nucleon is given. First JAM results on the determination of spin-dependent parton distribution functions from world data on polarized deep-inelastic scattering are presented first, and followed by a short report on the status of the JR unpolarized parton distributions. Different aspects of PDF analysis are briefly discussed, including effects of the nuclear structure of targets, target-mass corrections and higher twist contributions to the structure functions.
