Abstract

We present the polarized parton distribution functions from a QCD analysis of the worldwide polarized deep inelastic scattering data, based on the dynamical parton distribution model. All the sea quarks and gluons are dynamically generated from QCD radiations, with the nonperturbative input comprising only the polarized valence quark distributions. This approach leads to a simple parametrization, which has only seven free parameters. In the analysis, we apply the DGLAP equations with parton-parton recombination corrections. For the first step, the DGLAP equations, parton-parton recombination corrections, and experimental observable g 1 are all evaluated at the leading order. The parameterized nonperturbative input at an extremely low Q 0 2 reproduces well the spin-dependent structure functions measured at high Q 2. Comparisons with experimental observations and some other polarized parton distribution functions are also shown. Our results are in good agreement with the experimental data and consistent with some other parameterized models. Furthermore, our analysis presents the positive polarized gluon distribution and it suggests that the gluon distribution plays an important role to the proton spin content. The polarized antiquark distributions are non-zero at high Q 2 but quite small compared to polarized valence quark distributions, based on this dynamical parton model analysis. This analysis gives smaller statistical uncertainties for the polarized sea quark and gluon distributions, thanks to the fewer free parameters used for the parametrization of the initial polarized PDFs.
