New results for the exclusive and quasifree cross sections off neutrons bound in deuterium 𝛾_vn(p) → pπ− (p) are presented over a wide final state hadron angle range with a kinematic coverage of the invariant mass (W) up to 1.825 GeV and the four-momentum transfer squared (Q²) from 0.4 to 1.0 GeV². The exclusive structure functions were extracted and their Legendre moments were obtained. Final-state-interaction contributions have been kinematically separated from the extracted quasifree cross sections off bound neutrons solely based on the analysis of the experimental data. These new results will serve as …

Origin Of Single Transverse-Spin Asymmetries In High-Energy Collisions, Justin Cammarota, Leonard Gamberg, Zhong-Bo Kang, Joshua A. Miller, Daniel Pitonyak, Alexei Prokudin, Ted C. Rogers, Nobuo Sato

Physics Faculty Publications

In this paper, we perform the first simultaneous QCD global analysis of data from semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan, 𝑒⁺⁢𝑒⁻ annihilation into hadron pairs, and proton-proton collisions. Consequently, we are able to extract a universal set of nonperturbative functions that describes the observed asymmetries in these reactions. The outcome of our analysis indicates single transverse-spin asymmetries in high-energy collisions have a common origin. Furthermore, we achieve the first phenomenological agreement with lattice QCD on the up and down quark tensor charges.

Theory And Application Of Hydrogen Formation In Proton-Alkali Atom Collision, Sabbah Abdelwahab Elkilany

Turkish Journal of Physics

The possibility of producing more hydrogen during p-alkali atom collisions is discussed. The coupled static approximation is modified for the first time to make it applicable to the multichannel problem of the collisions of p-alkali atoms. The formation of H (1s) and excited H (in 2s- and 2p- states) in the scattering of p-Li atoms is treated to test the convergence of our method. The modified method is used to calculate the total cross-sections of seven partial waves in a range of energy between 50 and 1000 keV. Our p-Li results are compared with earlier ones.

A Phenomenological Calculation For W+W- Diboson Production For The Largehadron Collider And Future Circular Collider, Kamuran Di̇lsi̇z, Hasan Oğul

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has been designed to collide beams of protons at 7, 8, 13, and 14 TeV center-of-mass energies and a new hadron collider called the Future Circular Collider (FCC), which is larger and more energetic than the LHC, is being planned for the near future. The maximum planned energy for FCC is 100 TeV center-of-mass energy. In this regard, we present the leading order and next-to-leading order cross-section predictions of two simultaneously produced opposite-sign W bosons at 7, 8, 13, 14, and 100 TeV center-of-mass energies by using the MCFM MC generator. The results …

Mcnp6 Computational-Based Sensitivity Propagation Analysis Of Continuous Neutron Cross-Sections Using The Godiva (Hmf-001) And The Godiver (Hmf-004) Benchmark Criticality Study Cases, Lawrence James Lakeotes

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

There has been a reduction in funding for theoretical and applied research for improving the nation's database of continuous neutron cross-sections at BNL-NNDC. From 1940 through the late 1980s, research and applied development produced volumes of reliable neutron continuous cross-sections for many isotopes. Currently, the cross-section work has been mainly computational. The focus of this research is mainly centered on the requirements for improving thermal cross-sections to support reactor operations and fuel storage. The research efforts will also helpfully aid in the fast fission spectrum in order to support fast reactor designs for improving safety analysis and feedback coefficients.

Two-Loop Soft Anomalous Dimensions For Single Top Quark Associated Production With A W- Or H-, Nikolaos Kidonakis

Faculty Articles

I present results for the two-loop soft anomalous dimensions for associated production of a single top quark with a W boson or a charged Higgs boson. The calculation uses expressions for the massive cusp anomalous dimension, which are presented in different forms, and it allows soft-gluon resummation at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) accuracy. From the NNLL resummed cross section I derive approximate NNLO cross sections for bg→tW- and bg→tH- at LHC energies of 7, 10, and 14 TeV.

Higher-Order Soft Gluon Corrections In Single Top Quark Production At The Cern Lhc, Nikolaos Kidonakis

Faculty Articles

I present a calculation of soft-gluon corrections to single top-quark production in pp collisions at the LHC via the standard model partonic processes in the t and s channels and associated top quark and W boson production. Higher-order soft-gluon corrections through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NNNLO) are calculated at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. The soft-gluon corrections in the s channel and in tW production are large and dominant, while in the t channel they are not a good approximation of the complete QCD corrections.

Evaluations Of Resonance Parameters And Resonance Integral Of Tungsten, A.K.M. Moinul Haque Meaze

Turkish Journal of Physics

I present evaluated values of resonance parameters and resonance integral for natural tungsten on the basis of experimental transmissions data obtained at the Pohang Neutron Facility (PNF), Republic of Korea. Resonance parameters were obtained by using the Bayesian code SAMMY. The output values of SAMMY were used to evaluate the resonance integral for the capture cross-section.

Single Top Quark Production At The Fermilab Tevatron: Threshold Resummation And Finite-Order Soft Gluon Corrections, Nikolaos Kidonakis

Faculty Articles

I present a calculation of threshold soft-gluon corrections to single top-quark production in p(p) collisions via all partonic processes in the t and s channels and via associated top quark and W boson production. The soft-gluon corrections are formally resummed to all orders, and finite-order expansions of the resummed cross section are calculated through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNNLO) at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. Numerical results for single top-quark production at the Tevatron are presented, including the dependence of the cross sections on the top-quark mass and on the factorization and renormalization scales. The threshold corrections in the t channel are small while …

The spin structure function of the neutron g₁ⁿ has been determined over the range 0.03 < x < 0.6 at an average Q² of 2 (GeV/c)² by measuring the asymmetry in deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from a polarized ³He target at energies between 19 and 26 GeV. The integral of the neutron spin structure function is found to be f-¹₀ gⁿ₁(x)dx = -0.022 ± 0.011. Earlier reported proton results together with the Bjorken sum rule predict f-¹₀ gⁿ₁(x)dx = -0.059 ± 0.019.
