Quantum Statistics and Parton Distributions
Abstract
A novel approach to parton distributions parameterization in terms of quantum statistical functions is here outlined. The description, already proposed in previous publications, is here improved by adding to the statistical distributions an unpolarized liquid component. This new contribution to fermion partons is able to reproduce the expected low x behaviour of structure functions. The analysis provides a satisfactory description of polarized and unpolarized deep inelastic data and shows a possible connection between the Gottfried and Bjorken sum rules.
