A Check-up for the Statistical Parton Model
  We compare the parton distributions deduced in the framework of a quantum statistical approach for both the longitudinal and transverse degrees of freedom with the unpolarized distributions measured at Hera and with the polarized ones proposed in a previous paper, which have been shown to be in very good agreement also with the results of experiments performed after that proposal. The agreement with Hera data in correspondence of very similar values for the 'temperature' and the 'potentials' found in the previous work gives a robust confirm of the statistical model. The feature of describing both unpolarized and polarized parton distributions in terms of few parameters fixed by data with large statistics and small systematic errors makes very attractive the parametrization proposed here.
