Diquark Corrleations in the nucleon structure function

The nucleon structure functions are studied with a special emphasis on diquark correlations inside the nucleon. Assuming a phenomenological diquark-quark model of the nucleon at the low energy hadronic scale, we calculate the leading twist contributions to the nucleon structure functions. We take the Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model for the calculation of the quark distributions in the diquarks, and use the convolution method for the diquark scattering process. The resulting quark distributions are evolved to the experimental momentum scale using the perturbative QCD. We discuss the flavor dependence of the nucleon structure functions and the importance of the quark-quark correlations for the understanding of the nucleon structure.
