Hadron Transverse Momentum Distributions in Muon Deep Inelastic Scattering at 160 GeV/$c$

Abstract

Multiplicities of charged hadrons produced in deep inelastic muon scattering off a LiD target have been measured as a function of the DIS variables , , and the final state hadron variables and . The distributions are fitted with a single exponential function at low values of to determine the dependence of on , , and . The -dependence of is shown to be a potential tool to extract the average intrinsic transverse momentum squared of partons, , as a function of and in a leading order QCD parton model.
