Two-Body Photodisintegration Of 3he Between 7 And 16 Mev, W. Tornow, H. J. Karwowski, J. H. Kelley, R. Raut, G. Rusev, S. C. Stave, A. P. Tonchev, A. Deltuva, A. C. Fonseca, L. E. Marcucci, R. Schiavilla Jan 2011

Two-Body Photodisintegration Of 3he Between 7 And 16 Mev, W. Tornow, H. J. Karwowski, J. H. Kelley, R. Raut, G. Rusev, S. C. Stave, A. P. Tonchev, A. Deltuva, A. C. Fonseca, L. E. Marcucci, R. Schiavilla

Physics Faculty Publications

A comprehensive data set is reported for the two-body photodisintegration cross section of 3He using mono-energetic photon beams at eleven energies between 7.0 and 16.0 MeV. A 3He + Xe high-pressure gas scintillator served as target and detector. Although our data are in much better agreement with our state-of-the-art theoretical calculations than the majority of the previous data, these calculations underpredict the new data by about 10%. This disagreement suggests an incomplete understanding of the dynamics of the three-nucleon system and its response to electromagnetic probes.

Measurement Of The Parity-Violating Longitudinal Single-Spin Asymmetry For W± Boson Production In Polarized Proton-Proton Collisions At √S=500 Gev, M. M. Aggarwal, Z. Ahammed, A. V. Alakhverdyants, I. Alekseev, J. Alford, B. D. Andersdon, C. D. Anson, D. Arkhipkin, G. S. Averichev, J. Balewski, S. Bueltmann, D. Plyku Jan 2011

We report the first measurement of the parity-violating single-spin asymmetries for midrapidity decay positrons and electrons from W+ and W- boson production in longitudinally polarized proton-proton collisions at √s = 500 GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The measured asymmetries, A(L)(W+) = -0.27± 0.10(stat.) ± 0.02(syst.) ± 0.03(norm.) and A(L)(W-) = 0.14 ± 0.19(stat.) ± 0.02(syst.) ± 0.01(norm.), are consistent with theory predictions, which are large and of opposite sign. These predictions are based on polarized quark and antiquark distribution functions constrained by polarized deep-inelastic scattering measurements.

Physics Faculty Publications

Identified charged pion, kaon, and proton spectra are used to explore the system size dependence of bulk freeze-out properties in Cu+Cu collisions at √sNN=200 and 62.4 GeV. The data are studied with hydrodynamically motivated blast-wave and statistical model frameworks in order to characterize the freeze-out properties of the system. The dependence of freeze-out parameters on beam energy and collision centrality is discussed. Using the existing results from Au + Au and pp collisions, the dependence of freeze-out parameters on the system size is also explored. This multidimensional systematic study furthers our understanding of the QCD phase diagram revealing the importance …

Coherent Photoproduction Of Π+ From 3He, K. P. Adhikari, C. E. Hyde, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, M. Mayer, F. Sabatié, L. B. Weinstein, Et Al., The Clas Collaboration Jan 2011

Coherent Photoproduction Of Π+ From 3He, K. P. Adhikari, C. E. Hyde, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, M. Mayer, F. Sabatié, L. B. Weinstein, Et Al., The Clas Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

We have measured the differential cross section for the 𝛾 3He → π+t reaction. This reaction was studied using the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Lab. Real photons produced with the Hall-B bremsstrahlung tagging system in the energy range from 0.50 to 1.55 GeV were incident on a cryogenic liquid 3He target. The differential cross sections for the 𝛾 3He → π+t reaction were measured as a function of photon-beam energy and pion-scattering angle. Theoretical predictions to date cannot explain the large cross sections except at …

Experimental Results In Dis, Sidis And Des From Jefferson Lab, Sebastian E. Kuhn Jan 2011

Experimental Results In Dis, Sidis And Des From Jefferson Lab, Sebastian E. Kuhn

Physics Faculty Publications

Jefferson Lab’s electron accelerator in its present incarnation, with a maximum beam energy slightly above 6 GeV, has already enabled a large number of experiments expanding our knowledge of nucleon and nuclear structure (especially in Deep Inelastic Scattering—DIS—at moderately high x, and in the resonance region). Several pioneering experiments have yielded first results on Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and other Deep Exclusive Processes (DES), and the exploration of the rich landscape of transverse momentum‐dependent (TMD) structure functions using Semi‐Inclusive electron scattering (SIDIS) has begun. With the upgrade of CEBAF to 12 GeV now underway, a significantly larger kinematic …

Electronically Enhanced Surface Diffusion During Ge Growth On Si(100), Ali Orguz Er, Hani E. Elsayed-Ali Jan 2011

Electronically Enhanced Surface Diffusion During Ge Growth On Si(100), Ali Orguz Er, Hani E. Elsayed-Ali

Physics Faculty Publications

The effect of nanosecond pulsed laser excitation on surface diffusion during the growth of Ge on Si(100) at 250 °C was studied. In situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction was used to measure the surface diffusion coefficient while ex situ atomic force microscopy was used to probe the structure and morphology of the grown quantum dots. The results show that laser excitation of the substrate increases the surface diffusion during the growth of Ge on Si(100), changes the growth morphology, improves the crystalline structure of the grown quantum dots, and decreases their size distribution. A purely electronic mechanism of enhanced surface …

Evolution Of Conformal Color Dipoles And High Energy Amplitudes In 𝒩 = 4 Sym, Ian Balitsky Jan 2011

Evolution Of Conformal Color Dipoles And High Energy Amplitudes In 𝒩 = 4 Sym, Ian Balitsky

Physics Faculty Publications

The high-energy behavior of the 𝒩 = 4 SYM amplitudes in the Regge limit can be calculated order by order in perturbation theory using the high-energy operator expansion in Wilson lines. At large Nc, a typical four-point amplitude is determined by a single BFKL pomeron. The conformal structure of the four-point amplitude is fixed in terms of two functions: pomeron intercept and the coefficient function in front of the pomeron (the product of two residues). The pomeron intercept is universal while the coefficient function depends on the correlator in question. The intercept is known in the first two …

Crab Crossing Consideration For Meic, S. Ahmed, Y. Derbenev, Geoffrey A. Krafft, Y. Zhang, Subashini De Silva, Jean R. Delayen, A. Castilla Jan 2011

Crab Crossing Consideration For Meic, S. Ahmed, Y. Derbenev, Geoffrey A. Krafft, Y. Zhang, Subashini De Silva, Jean R. Delayen, A. Castilla

Physics Faculty Publications

Crab crossing of colliding electron and ion beams is essential for accommodating the high bunch repetition frequency in the conceptual design of MEIC – a high luminosity polarized electron-ion collider at Jefferson Lab. The scheme eliminates parasitic beam-beam interactions and avoids luminosity reduction by restoring head-on collisions at interaction points. In this paper, we report the possible crabbing schemes and requirements for both electron and proton beams.

Design Of Superconducting Parallel-Bar Deflecting/Crabbing Cavities With Improved Properties, Jean R. Delayen, Subashini De Silva Jan 2011

Design Of Superconducting Parallel-Bar Deflecting/Crabbing Cavities With Improved Properties, Jean R. Delayen, Subashini De Silva

Physics Faculty Publications

The superconducting parallel-bar cavity is a deflecting/crabbing cavity with attractive properties, compared to other conventional designs, that is being considered for a number of applications. All designs to-date have been based on straight loading elements and rectangular outer conductors. We present new designs of parallel-bar cavities using curved loading elements and circular or elliptical outer conductors, with significantly improved properties such as reduced surface fields and wider higher-order mode separation.
