Detailed Study Of Quark-Hadron Duality In Spin Structure Functions Of The Proton And Neutron, V. Lagerquist, S. E. Kuhn, N. Sato

Physics Faculty Publications

Background: The response of hadrons, the bound states of the strong force (QCD), to external probes can be described in two different, complementary frameworks: as direct interactions with their fundamental constituents, quarks and gluons, or alternatively as elastic or inelastic coherent scattering that leaves the hadrons in their ground state or in one of their excited (resonance) states. The former picture emerges most clearly in hard processes with high momentum transfer, where the hadron response can be described by the perturbative expansion of QCD, while at lower energy and momentum transfers, the resonant excitations of the hadrons dominate the cross …

The polarized cross-section ratio σLT′/σ₀ from hard exclusive π⁻Δ⁺⁺ electroproduction off an unpolarized hydrogen target has been extracted based on beam-spin asymmetry measurements using a 10.2 GeV/10.6 GeV incident electron beam and the CLAS12 spectrometer at Jefferson Lab. The study, which provides the first observation of this channel in the deep-inelastic regime, focuses on very forward-pion kinematics in the valence regime, and photon virtualities ranging from 1.5 GeV² up to 7 GeV². The reaction provides a novel access to the d-quark content of the nucleon and to p→Δ⁺⁺ transition generalized parton …

High precision measurements of the polarized electron beam-spin asymmetry in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) from the proton have been performed using a 10.6 GeV incident electron beam and the CLAS12 spectrometer at Jefferson Lab. We report here a high precision multidimensional study of single π⁺SIDIS data over a large kinematic range in Bjorken x, fractional energy, and transverse momentum of the hadron as well as photon virtualities Q² ranging from 1–7 GeV². In particular, the structure function ratio F^sinϕ_LU/F_UU has been determined, where F^sinϕ_LU is a twist-3 …

Differential Cross Sections For Λ (1520) Using Photoproduction At Clas, K. P. Adhikari, M.J. Amaryan, G. Gavalian, M. Hattawy, Y. Prok, Et. Al., The Clas Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

The reaction 𝛾p → K+Λ (1520) using photoproduction data from the CLAS g12 experiment at Jefferson Lab is studied. The decay of Λ(1520) into two exclusive channels, Σπ⁺π^- and Σ^-π⁺, is studied from the detected K⁺, π⁺, and π^- particles. A good agreement is established for the Λ(1520) differential cross sections with the previous CLAS measurements. The differential cross sections as a function of center-of-mass angle are extended to higher photon energies. Newly added are the differential cross sections as a function of invariant four-momentum transfer t, …

Electroexcitation Of The Roper Resonance For 1.7 < Q² < 4.5gev² In Ep → Enπ+, Clas Collaboration, M. J. Amaryan, M. Bektasoglu, S. Bültmann, S. L. Careccia, K. V. Dharmawardane, G. E. Dodge, T. A. Forest, G. Gavalian, N. Guler, C. E. Hyde, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, L. M. Qin, L. B. Weinstein, J. Yun, J. Zhang

The helicity amplitudes of the electroexcitation of the Roper resonance are extracted for 1.7 < Q² < 4.5 GeV²from recent high precision JLab-CLAS cross section and longitudinally polarized beam asymmetry data for π⁺ electroproduction on protons at W=1.15-1.69 GeV. The analysis is made using two approaches, dispersion relations and a unitary isobar model, which give consistent Q² behavior of the helicity amplitudes for the gamma*p -> N (1440)P₁₁ transition. It is found that the transverse helicity amplitude A _1/2, which is large and negative at Q²=0, becomes large and positive at Q² similar or equal …

Cascade Production In The Reactions 𝛾p → K⁺ K⁺(X) And 𝛾p → K⁺K⁺ Π⁻⁻(X), M. J. Amaryan, H. Bagdasaryan, S. Bültmann, S. L. Careccia, K. V. Dharmawardane, G. E. Dodge, G. Gavalian, N. Guler, C. E. Hyde-Wright, N. Kalantarians, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, M. R. Niroula, S. Tkachenko, L. B. Weinstein, J. Zhang, Et Al., Clas Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

Photoproduction of the cascade resonances has been investigated in the reactions γp → K + K +(X) and γp → K + K + π −(X). The mass splitting of the ground state (Ξ⁻,Ξ⁰) doublet is measured to be 5.4 ± 1.8 MeV/c², consistent with existing measurements. The differential (total) cross sections for the Ξ⁻ have been determined for photon beam energies from 2.75 to 3.85 (4.75) GeV and are consistent with a production mechanism of Y∗→K+Ξ⁻ through a t-channel process. The reaction γp→K+K+π−[Ξ⁰] has also been investigated to …

We report on the first measurement of exclusive Ξ^-(1321) hyperon photoproduction in 𝛾p → K⁺K⁺Ξ^- for 3.2 < E𝛾 < 3.9 GeV. The final state is identified by the missing mass in p(𝛾,K⁺K⁺)X measured with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. We have detected a significant number of the ground state Ξ^-(1321)1/2⁺ and have estimated the total cross section for its production. We also have strong evidence for the first excited state Ξ^-(1530)3/2⁺. Photoproduction provides a copious source of Ξ's. We discuss the possibilities of a search for the recently proposed Ξ₅^- and Ξ₅^{+ …}
