Quark-quark correlations in the nucleon at high x in the residual mean field model

ORAL

Abstract

In previous work, we modeled the nucleon by separating it into valence and residual structures. We described the valence quarks as just moving in a mean field. We now incorporate quark-quark correlations to the model to describe the high x structure of valence quarks in the nucleon. The calculations are performed using perturbative quantum chromodynamics in a light front effective diagrammatic framework. PDFs are extracted from our extended model and our results are compared existing PDF sets.
