Deep inelastic scattering cross sections from the gauge/string duality

Understand

Differential cross sections of deep inelastic scattering of charged leptons from hadrons are investigated by using the gauge/string duality.

• We consider vector mesons derived from different holographic dual models obtaining a general expression.
• We focus on the strongly coupled regime of dual gauge theories for different values of the Bjorken parameter.
• We find new predictions which are particularly interesting for differential scattering cross sections of polarized leptons scattered off polarized vector mesons.
