Semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In high energy particle physics nucleon-lepton scattering, the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) is a method to obtain information on the nucleon structure.[1] It expands the traditional method of deep inelastic scattering (DIS). In DIS, only the scattered lepton is detected while the remnants of the shattered nucleon are ignored (inclusive experiment). In SIDIS, a high momentum hadron, a.k.a. the leading hadron is detected in addition to the scattered lepton. This yields additional details about the scattering process kinematics.
