The Gross-Uewellyn Smith (GLS) Swn Rule[l] predicts that the integral of xF

weighted by lx equals the nwnber of valence quarks inside a mcleon - three in

the naive quark parton 1I1Odel With next to leading order QCD corrections the

GLS sum rule can be written as

_ [1 dx _ [ 12 2 ] (1)SGLS = o xxf(xCf) - 3 1- (33 _ 2N)ln((JlA2) +0(([- )

where N is the number of quark flavors (=4) and A is the mass parameter of

QCD Higher twist effects of the order O(Q-2) are expected to be small laquo 1

of SGLS at x ~ 001)[2] Until now the most precise measurement of the GLS

Sum Rule has come from the Narrow Band Beam (NBB) neutrino data of the

CCFR collaboration[3] The factor of 18 increase in the v-induced charged current

(CC) sample of the new data compared to our earlier experiment provides a nmm more precise detennination of xF3 and an improved measurement of SGLS In an

accompanying letter we have reported a high statistics determination of F2(x (2)

and xF3(X Ql)[4]

Due to the lx weighting in Eql the small x region (x lt 01) is particularly

important Accurate measurements of the following ensure small systematic errors

(a) the nmon angle (01)[5] and (b) the relative vv flux Since xF3 is obtained from

2

the difference of II and J7 aass-sections small relative normalization errors can beshy

come magnified by the Mighting in the integral The abolute normalization uses an

average of II-N cross-section measurements[4] Here e desaibe procedures for obshy

taining the relative flux ratios of neutrino flux from energy to energy and between

IiIJ and vIJ Two methods have been used in extracting the relative flux [tP(E)] the

fixed v-cut method and y-intercept method[6] The two teclmiques yielded consistent

lneasures of 4gt(E)

The fixed v-cut method uses the most general fonn for the differential cross

section for the V-A neutrino mcleon interaction (Eq of Ref[4]) which requires

that the number of events with v lt lin in a Ell bin N(v lt vo) is proportional to

the relative flux 4gt(Ell) at that bin up to corrections of order of O(voEll )

JI(VltVn = OIgt(E~)vo[A+(~)B+(~yC+O(~y] (2)

The parameter Vo was chosen to be 20 GeV to simultaneously optimize statistical

precision while keeping corrections small There are 426000 v- and 146000 Iishy

induced events in the fixed v-cut flux analysis

The y-intercept method comes from a simple helicity argument the differenshy

tial cross sections dody for v- and v-induced events should be equal for forward

scattering ie as y--+O

[ do] = [dJ] = Constant (3)E dy=o E dy =0

Thus in a plot of number of events versus y the y-intercept obtained from a fit

to the entire y-region is proportional to the relative flux The fixed v-cut and yshy

intercept methods of 4gt(E) determination typically agreed to about 15 with no

3

measureable systematic difference Asmoothing procedure WaS applied to minimize

the effects of point-to-point flux variations[7]

Structure functions were extracted from the CC data in the kinematic domain

EIuJd gt 10 GeV Q2 gt 1 GeV2 and E gt 30 GeV In this sample there were 1050000

11- and 180000 ii-induced events Accepted events ~e separated into twelve x bins

and sixteen Q2 bins from 1 to 600 GeV2 Integrating the 11-N differential cross-section

(poundql of Rcf[4]) times the flux over each x and Q2 Din gives two equations for the

nwnber of neutrino and antineutrino events in the bin in terms of the structure

functions at the bin centers Xo and Q5

where a and b are known fWlctions of x y E and R(x Q2)[4] and cp(E) is the flux

The observed nwnbers of events N amp Ni were correCted with an iterative Monte

Carlo procedure for acceptance and resolution smearing

To solve these equations for F2 and xF3 certain known correCtions have to be

applied We assumed a parameterization of R(xCl) determined from the SLAC

measurements[8] and applied corrections for the 685 excess of neutrons over proshy

tons in iron We used the magnitude and the x-dependence of the strange sea

determined from our opposite-sign dinmon analysis [9] The threshold dependence of

charm quark production was corrected with the slow rescaling model[10] where the

relevant charm quark mass parameter me =134plusmn O31GeV was determined from

our data[9] Radiative corrections followed the calculation by De RUjula et al[ll]

and the cross-sections were corrected for the massive W-boson propagator The

4

charm-threshold strange sea and radiative corrections were largdy independent ci

Ql For F2 they ranged fran plusmn10 at =015 to plusmn3 at =0125 to ~~ at

= 065 over our Ql range For xF3 they ranged from ~ at =015 to ~i at

x = 0125 to ~ at x = 065 Resolution smearing was corrected using a Monte

Carlo calculation which incorporated the measured resolution functions from dedishy

cated test nul data[5] We have excluded the highest x-bin 07 x 10 due to its

susceptibility to Fenni motion (which was not included in the smearing correction)

To measure SGLS the values of xF3 were interpolated or extrapolated to Qt =3

GeV2 which is the mean Q2 of the data in the lowest x-bin which contributes mC13t

heavily to the integral Figure 1 shows the data and the qz-dependent fits used to

extract xF3(x qz =3) in three x-bins The resulting xF3 is then fit to a function

of the fonn f(x) = Axb(l- x)C (bgt 0) The best fit values are A = 5976 plusmn 0148

b =0766 plusmn 0010 and c =3101 plusmn 0036 The integral of the fit weighted by lx

gives SGLS Figure 2 shows the measured xF3(x) at Q2 =3 GeV2 as a function of

x the fits and their integr~ The measurement of the sum rule yields[12]

SGLS =J~ X3dx =250 plusmn 0018(stat)

Fitting different functional forms to our data[7] gives answers within plusmn15 of

the above We estimate plusmn0040 to be the systematic error on SGrs due to fitting

The dominant systematic error of the measurement comes from the uncertainty in

determining the absolute level of the flux which is 22 The other two systematic

errors are 15 from uncertainties in relative 1) to v flux measurement and 1 from

llllcertainties in Ep calibration[7 The systematic errors are detailed in Table 1 Our

o x ~ The theoretical prediction of SGlS for the measured A = 210 plusmn 50 MeV from

the evolution of the non-singlet structure function[7] is 266 plusmn 004 (Eq1) The

prediction asswnes negligible contributions from higher twist effects target mass

corrections[13] and higher order QCD corrections 8 The WOrld status of 8GLS

JINR-E2-86-260 (1986) The difference between the two corrections was generally

very small except at the lowest (x =0015) and the highest (x = 065) x-bins

Our structure ftmction results would thus change by a few percent if the Bardins

instead of the De RUjulas calrulation were used In a future publication we shall

[11] ADe RUjula et aI Nucl Phys B154394 1979 We have estimated the effect

of using the more detailed radiative correction calculation by DYuBardin et al

JINR-E2-86-260 (1986) The difference between the two corrections was generally

very small except at the lowest (x =0015) and the highest (x = 065) x-bins

Our structure ftmction results would thus change by a few percent if the Bardins

instead of the De RUjulas calrulation were used In a future publication we shall

the difference of II and J7 aass-sections small relative normalization errors can beshy

come magnified by the Mighting in the integral The abolute normalization uses an

average of II-N cross-section measurements[4] Here e desaibe procedures for obshy

taining the relative flux ratios of neutrino flux from energy to energy and between

IiIJ and vIJ Two methods have been used in extracting the relative flux [tP(E)] the

fixed v-cut method and y-intercept method[6] The two teclmiques yielded consistent

lneasures of 4gt(E)

The fixed v-cut method uses the most general fonn for the differential cross

section for the V-A neutrino mcleon interaction (Eq of Ref[4]) which requires

that the number of events with v lt lin in a Ell bin N(v lt vo) is proportional to

the relative flux 4gt(Ell) at that bin up to corrections of order of O(voEll )

JI(VltVn = OIgt(E~)vo[A+(~)B+(~yC+O(~y] (2)

The parameter Vo was chosen to be 20 GeV to simultaneously optimize statistical

precision while keeping corrections small There are 426000 v- and 146000 Iishy

induced events in the fixed v-cut flux analysis

The y-intercept method comes from a simple helicity argument the differenshy

tial cross sections dody for v- and v-induced events should be equal for forward

scattering ie as y--+O

[ do] = [dJ] = Constant (3)E dy=o E dy =0

Thus in a plot of number of events versus y the y-intercept obtained from a fit

to the entire y-region is proportional to the relative flux The fixed v-cut and yshy

intercept methods of 4gt(E) determination typically agreed to about 15 with no

measureable systematic difference Asmoothing procedure WaS applied to minimize

the effects of point-to-point flux variations[7]

Structure functions were extracted from the CC data in the kinematic domain

EIuJd gt 10 GeV Q2 gt 1 GeV2 and E gt 30 GeV In this sample there were 1050000

11- and 180000 ii-induced events Accepted events ~e separated into twelve x bins

and sixteen Q2 bins from 1 to 600 GeV2 Integrating the 11-N differential cross-section

(poundql of Rcf[4]) times the flux over each x and Q2 Din gives two equations for the

nwnber of neutrino and antineutrino events in the bin in terms of the structure

functions at the bin centers Xo and Q5

where a and b are known fWlctions of x y E and R(x Q2)[4] and cp(E) is the flux

The observed nwnbers of events N amp Ni were correCted with an iterative Monte

Carlo procedure for acceptance and resolution smearing

To solve these equations for F2 and xF3 certain known correCtions have to be

applied We assumed a parameterization of R(xCl) determined from the SLAC

measurements[8] and applied corrections for the 685 excess of neutrons over proshy

tons in iron We used the magnitude and the x-dependence of the strange sea

determined from our opposite-sign dinmon analysis [9] The threshold dependence of

charm quark production was corrected with the slow rescaling model[10] where the

relevant charm quark mass parameter me =134plusmn O31GeV was determined from

our data[9] Radiative corrections followed the calculation by De RUjula et al[ll]

and the cross-sections were corrected for the massive W-boson propagator The

4

charm-threshold strange sea and radiative corrections were largdy independent ci

Ql For F2 they ranged fran plusmn10 at =015 to plusmn3 at =0125 to ~~ at

= 065 over our Ql range For xF3 they ranged from ~ at =015 to ~i at

x = 0125 to ~ at x = 065 Resolution smearing was corrected using a Monte

Carlo calculation which incorporated the measured resolution functions from dedishy

cated test nul data[5] We have excluded the highest x-bin 07 x 10 due to its

susceptibility to Fenni motion (which was not included in the smearing correction)

To measure SGLS the values of xF3 were interpolated or extrapolated to Qt =3

GeV2 which is the mean Q2 of the data in the lowest x-bin which contributes mC13t

heavily to the integral Figure 1 shows the data and the qz-dependent fits used to

extract xF3(x qz =3) in three x-bins The resulting xF3 is then fit to a function

of the fonn f(x) = Axb(l- x)C (bgt 0) The best fit values are A = 5976 plusmn 0148

b =0766 plusmn 0010 and c =3101 plusmn 0036 The integral of the fit weighted by lx

gives SGLS Figure 2 shows the measured xF3(x) at Q2 =3 GeV2 as a function of

x the fits and their integr~ The measurement of the sum rule yields[12]

Fitting different functional forms to our data[7] gives answers within plusmn15 of

the above We estimate plusmn0040 to be the systematic error on SGrs due to fitting

The dominant systematic error of the measurement comes from the uncertainty in

determining the absolute level of the flux which is 22 The other two systematic

errors are 15 from uncertainties in relative 1) to v flux measurement and 1 from

llllcertainties in Ep calibration[7 The systematic errors are detailed in Table 1 Our

the evolution of the non-singlet structure function[7] is 266 plusmn 004 (Eq1) The

prediction asswnes negligible contributions from higher twist effects target mass

corrections[13] and higher order QCD corrections 8 The WOrld status of 8GLS

charm-threshold strange sea and radiative corrections were largdy independent ci

Ql For F2 they ranged fran plusmn10 at =015 to plusmn3 at =0125 to ~~ at

= 065 over our Ql range For xF3 they ranged from ~ at =015 to ~i at

x = 0125 to ~ at x = 065 Resolution smearing was corrected using a Monte

Carlo calculation which incorporated the measured resolution functions from dedishy

cated test nul data[5] We have excluded the highest x-bin 07 x 10 due to its

susceptibility to Fenni motion (which was not included in the smearing correction)

To measure SGLS the values of xF3 were interpolated or extrapolated to Qt =3

GeV2 which is the mean Q2 of the data in the lowest x-bin which contributes mC13t

heavily to the integral Figure 1 shows the data and the qz-dependent fits used to

extract xF3(x qz =3) in three x-bins The resulting xF3 is then fit to a function

of the fonn f(x) = Axb(l- x)C (bgt 0) The best fit values are A = 5976 plusmn 0148

b =0766 plusmn 0010 and c =3101 plusmn 0036 The integral of the fit weighted by lx

gives SGLS Figure 2 shows the measured xF3(x) at Q2 =3 GeV2 as a function of

x the fits and their integr~ The measurement of the sum rule yields[12]

SGLS =J~ X3dx =250 plusmn 0018(stat)

Fitting different functional forms to our data[7] gives answers within plusmn15 of

the above We estimate plusmn0040 to be the systematic error on SGrs due to fitting

The dominant systematic error of the measurement comes from the uncertainty in

determining the absolute level of the flux which is 22 The other two systematic

errors are 15 from uncertainties in relative 1) to v flux measurement and 1 from

llllcertainties in Ep calibration[7 The systematic errors are detailed in Table 1 Our

value for SGrs is

1 xF38GLS = -dx =250 plusmn OOI8( stat) plusmn O078( syst) (5)

o x ~ The theoretical prediction of SGlS for the measured A = 210 plusmn 50 MeV from

the evolution of the non-singlet structure function[7] is 266 plusmn 004 (Eq1) The

prediction asswnes negligible contributions from higher twist effects target mass

corrections[13] and higher order QCD corrections 8 The WOrld status of 8GLS

measnfeInents is shown in Fig3

Figtne 1 Fits to Q2-dependence of xF3 in 3 x-bins (the 2 lowest x-bins and a middle

x-bin) xF3 at ~ =3 GeV2 (squares) is obtained by interpolation as in the 2 lowest

x-bin and shown by a dark symbol or by extrapolation as in the middle x-bin (dark

symbol)

Figtne 2 The GLS sum rule The squares are xF3(xQ2 =3) and the dashed line

is the fit to xF3(x Q2 =3) by Axb(l - x)c The solid line is the integral of the

fit J dxFa The diamonds are an approximation to the integral computed by a

weighted stun [S(Xj)] of x~ = xF3 (Xj Q2 =3) ie S(Xj) = r ~ixI1

[11] ADe RUjula et aI Nucl Phys B154394 1979 We have estimated the effect

of using the more detailed radiative correction calculation by DYuBardin et al

JINR-E2-86-260 (1986) The difference between the two corrections was generally

very small except at the lowest (x =0015) and the highest (x = 065) x-bins

Our structure ftmction results would thus change by a few percent if the Bardins

instead of the De RUjulas calrulation were used In a future publication we shall

present our results with Bardins calculation

[12] Our present value of SGLS (250) is lower than the earlier preliminary presenshy

tations (266) [are SRMishra Thlk at Lepton-Photon 1991 Geneva] Two small

changes in the assumptions of the analysis lowered SGLS These changes We beshy

lieve are more accurate than those employed earlier See Ref[7]
