The photoproduction of ω mesons off the proton has been studied in the reaction γp using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) and the frozen-spin target in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. For the first time, the target asymmetry T has been measured in photoproduction from the decay ωπ+ππ0, using a transversely polarized target with energies ranging from just above the reaction threshold up to 2.8 GeV. Significant nonzero values are observed for these asymmetries, reaching about 30–40% in the third-resonance region. New measurements for the …


Phenomenology Of Neutron-Antineutron Conversion, Susan Gardner, Xinshuai Yan Mar 2018

Phenomenology Of Neutron-Antineutron Conversion, Susan Gardner, Xinshuai Yan

We consider the possibility of neutron-antineutron (nn¯) conversion, in which the change of a neutron into an antineutron is mediated by an external source, as can occur in a scattering process. We develop the connections between nn¯ conversion and nn¯ oscillation, in which a neutron spontaneously transforms into an antineutron, noting that if nn¯ oscillation occurs in a theory with baryon number minus lepton number (B-L) violation, then nn¯ conversion can occur also. We show how an experimental limit on nn¯ …

It is a common problem in lattice QCD calculation of the mass of the hadron with an annihilation channel that the signal falls off in time while the noise remains constant. In addition, the disconnected insertion calculation of the three-point function and the calculation of the neutron electric dipole moment with the θ term suffer from a noise problem due to the √V fluctuation. We identify these problems to have the same origin and the √V problem can be overcome by utilizing the cluster decomposition principle. We demonstrate this by considering the calculations of the glueball mass, the …
