Deep inelastic scattering on the quark-gluon plasma
Deep inelastic scattering on the quark-gluon plasma
A bstract We provide an interpretation of the structure functions of a thermal medium such as the quark-gluon plasma in terms of the scattering of an incoming electron on the medium via the exchange of a spacelike photon. We then focus on the deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) regime, and formulate the …
