2 What is the valon model? The valon model describes the hadron structure relevant to multiparticle production. The valon is defined to be a dressed valence quark in QCD with the cloud of gluons and sea quarks which can be resolved by high Q^2 probes. At sufficiently low value of Q^2 the internal structure of a valon cannot be resolved and hence it behaves as a valence quark. For example in the proton we have 2 U-valons and one D valon. QCD2003-Italy To facilitate the phenomenological analysis Hwa assumed a simple form for the exclusive valon distribution in unpolarized proton which is Where y i is the momentum fraction of the i-th valon.The single valon distributions are obtained by integration Unpolarized valon distribution in a proton Valon model

5 In phenomenological investigations of structure functions, for a given value of Q 2, only a limited number of experimental points, covering a partial range of values of x, are available. Therefore, one can not directly determine the moments. A method devised to deal with this situation is to take averages of the structure function weighted by suitable polynomials. We can compare theoretical predictions with experimental results for the Bernstein averages, which are defined by Where are Bernstein polynomials, which are normalized to unity.

6 Other restriction which we assume here, is that to ignore the effects of moments with high order n which are not very effective. To obtain these experimental averages from the E143 and SMC data for xg 1, we fit polarized structure function for each bin in Q 2 separately, to the convenient phenomenological expression Some samples experimental Bernstein averages are plotted in Figure 1.

8 Polarized parton distributions and structure function Now we want to compute the polarized structure function in a valon. Since we calculated before polarized valon distribution in a proton, by having the polarized structure function in a valon, it is possible to extract polarized parton structure in a proton. To obtain the z dependence of parton distributions in practical purposes from the n dependent exact analytical solutions in Mellin-moment space, one has to perform a numerical integral in order to invert the Mellin-transformation. The relationship between polarized quarks of proton and the polarized quarks in a valon is given by convolution: and now we can get the following expressions for polarized parton distributions in a proton By havinh the polarized parton distribution, we are going to use them to extract polarized structure function. To leading order (LO) in QCD, according to the quark model, polarized structure function can be written as a linear combination of where e q are the electric charges of the (light) quark-flavors q=u,d,s. Furthermore, this equation can be decomposed into a flavor nonsinglet (NS) and singlet (S) component. In Fig 3, 4 and 5 we presented polarized parton distributions; xg 1,NS, xg 1,S and xg 1 p ; and polarized proton structure function. QCD2003-Italy
