Title Hadron Structure in Electroweak Precision Measurements Author(s) Hall, Nathan L Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. Description XIV, 120 p. 47 illus., 29 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This thesis examines the ??Z box contribution to the weak charge of the proton. Here, by combining recent parity-violating electron-deuteron scattering data with our current understanding of parton distribution functions, the author shows that one can limit this model dependence. The resulting construction is a robust model of the ???? and ??Z structure functions that can also be used to study a variety of low-energy phenomena. Two such cases are discussed in this work, namely, the nucleon???s electromagnetic polarizabilities and quark-hadron duality.?????????????? ?? By using phenomenological information to constrain the input structure functions, this important but previously poorly understood radiative correction is determined at the kinematics of the parity-violating experiment, QWEAK, to a degree of precision more than twice that of the previous best estimate. ?? A detailed investigation into available parametrizations of the electromagnetic and interference cross-sections indicates that earlier analyses suffered from the inability to correctly quantify their model dependence ISBN,Price 9783319202211 Keyword(s) 1.
