Inclusive ϕ meson production, the parton fusion model and strange quark structure functions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The parton fusion model is used to describe the longitudinal differential cross section (dσ/dx F ) of hadronic ϕ production. Thedσ/dx F for ϕ production in π± p,\(\mathop p\limits^{( - )} p\) andK ± p interactions is evaluated in the model by using structure functions for the constituents of the interacting particles. A comparison between the model and high statistics data in the Feynmanx range 0.0<x F (ϕ)<0.4 allows the determination of the strange valence quark distribution inK mesons and the strange sea quark distribution in π mesons, which appears to be harder than the light sea quark distribution. The comparison also shows that a significant part of inclusive ϕ production is due to the OZI allowed fusion of strange quarks, while the OZI inhibited fusion diagrams are strongly suppressed.
