Hidden Color and the b 1 Structure Function of the Deuteron
Abstract
The b1 structure function is an observable feature of a spin-1 system sensitive to non-nucleonic components of the target nuclear wave function. A simple model for hidden-color, six-quark configurations is proposed and found to give substantial contributions for values of x > 0.2. Good agreement with Hermes data is obtained. Predictions are made for an upcoming JLab experiment.
