We report a measurement of the differential cross section for the γn →π⁻p process from the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory in Hall B for photon energies between 1.0 and 3.5 GeV and pion center-of-mass (c.m.) angles (𝜃 _c.m.) between 50° and 115°. We confirm a previous indication of a broad enhancement around a c.m. energy (√ s) of 2.1 GeV at 𝜃_c.m. = 90° in the scaled differential cross section s^{7 dσ}_dt and a rapid falloff in a center-of-mass energy region of about 400 MeV following the enhancement. Our data show an angular dependence of …

The spin structure functions g1 for the proton and the deuteron have been measured over a wide kinematic range in x and Q² using 1.6 and 5.7 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons incident upon polarized NH3 and ND3 targets at Jefferson Lab. Scattered electrons were detected in the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer, for 0.05 < Q² < 5GeV² and W < 3 GeV. The first moments of g1 for the proton and deuteron are presented – both have a negative slope at low Q², as predicted by the extended Gerasimov–Drell–Hearn sum rule. The first extraction of the generalized forward spin polarizability of the proton γ p 0 the Q² evolution of the first moment of g1 shows agreement in leading order with Heavy …

We study the beam-energy and system-size dependence of ϕ meson production (using the hadronic decay mode ϕ → K⁺ K⁻ ) by comparing the new results from Cu + Cu collisions and previously reported Au + Au collisions at √^sNN = 62.4 and 200 GeV measured in the STAR experiment at RHIC. Data presented in this Letter are from mid-rapidity ( | y | < 0.5 ) for 0.4 < PT < 5 GeV /c . At a given beam energy, the transverse momentum distributions for ϕ mesons are observed to be similar in yield and shape for Cu + Cu and Au + …

Conformal Kernel For The Next-To-Leading-Order Bfkl Equation In 𝒩 = 4 Super Yang-Mills Theory, Ian Balitsky, Giovanni A. Chirilli

Physics Faculty Publications

Using the requirement of Möbius invariance of 𝒩 = 4 super Yang-Mills amplitudes in the Regge limit, we restore the explicit form of the conformal next-to-leading-order Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) kernel out of the eigenvalues known from the forward next-to-leading-order BFKL result.

Spin Structure Of The Deuteron, Nevzat Guler

Physics Theses & Dissertations

Double spin asymmetries for the proton and the deuteron have been measured in the EG1b experiment using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. Longitudinally polarized electrons at energies 1.6, 2.5, 4.2 and 5.7 GeV were scattered from longitudinally polarized NH3 and ND3 targets. The double spin asymmetry A|| for the proton and the deuteron has been extracted from these data as a function of W and Q² with unprecedented precision. The virtual photon asymmetry A₁ and the spin structure function g1 can be calculated from these measurements by using parametrization to the world data for the virtual …

Photodisintegration Of 4He Into P+T, Clas Collaboration, M. J. Amaryan, S. L. Careccia, G. E. Dodge, C. E. Hyde, S. E. Kuhn, M. Mayer, C. S. Nepali, M. R. Niroula, H. Seraydaryan, S. Tkachenko, L.B. Weinstein, J. Zhang

Physics Faculty Publications

The two-body photodisintegration of 4He into a proton and a triton has been studied using the CEBAF Large-Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. Real photons produced with the Hall-B bremsstrahlung-tagging system in the energy range from 0.35 to 1.55 GeV were incident on a liquid ⁴He target. This is the first measurement of the photodisintegration of ⁴He above 0.4 GeV. The differential cross sections for the γ ⁴He →pt reaction were measured as a function of photon-beam energy and proton-scattering angle and are compared with the latest model calculations by J.-M. Laget. At …

Electroexcitation Of Nucleon Resonances From Clas Data On Single Pion Electroproduction, Clas Collaboration, K. P. Adhikari, S. L. Careccia, T. A. Forest, C. E. Hyde, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, M. Mayer, C. S. Nepali, M. R. Niroula, H. Seraydaryan

Physics Faculty Publications

We present results on the electroexcitation of the low mass resonances Δ(1232)P₃₃ , N(1440)P₁₁ , N(1520)D₁₃ , and N(1535)S₁₁ in a wide range of Q². The results were obtained in the comprehensive analysis of data from the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) large acceptance spectrometer (CLAS) detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) on differential cross sections, longitudinally polarized beam asymmetries, and longitudinal target and beam-target asymmetries for π electroproduction off the proton. The data were analyzed using two conceptually different approaches—fixed-t dispersion relations and a unitary isobar model—allowing us to …

Measurement Of Semi-Inclusive Π+ Electroproduction Off The Proton, Clas Collaboration, M. J. Amaryan, H. Bagdasaryan, M. Bektasoglu, S. Bültmann, K. V. Dharmawardane, G. E. Dodge, G. Gavalian, N. Guler, C. E. Hyde-Wright, A. Klein, A. V. Klimenko, S. E. Kuhn, M. R. Niroula, L. M. Qin, L. B. Weinstein, J. Zhang

Physics Faculty Publications

Semi-inclusive π+ electroproduction on protons has been measured with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. The measurement was performed on a liquid-hydrogen target using a 5.75 GeV electron beam. The complete five-fold differential cross sections were measured over a wide kinematic range including the complete range of azimuthal angles between hadronic and leptonic planes, ϕ , enabling us to separate the ϕ-dependent terms. Our measurements of the ϕ -independent term of the cross section at low Bjorken x were found to be in fairly good agreement with pQCD calculations. Indeed, the conventional current fragmentation calculation can account for almost all …

Nlo Evolution Of Color Dipoles In N=4sym, Ian Balitsky, Giovanni A. Chrilli

Physics Faculty Publications

High-energy behavior of amplitudes in a gauge theory can be reformulated in terms of the evolution of Wilson-line operators. In the leading logarithmic approximation it is given by the conformally invariant BK equation for the evolution of color dipoles. In QCD, the next-to-leading order BK equation has both conformal and non-conformal parts, the latter providing the running of the coupling constant. To separate the conformally invariant effects from the running-coupling effects, we calculate the NLO evolution of the color dipoles in the conformal N = 4 SYM theory. We define the "composite dipole operators" with the rapidity cutoff preserving conformal …

New Compact Tem-Type Deflecting And Crabbing Rf Structure, J. R. Delayen, H. Wang

Physics Faculty Publications

A new type of rf structure for the deflection and crabbing of particle beams is presented. The structure is comprised of a number of parallel TEM resonant lines operating in opposing phase from each other. One of its advantages is its compactness compared to conventional crabbing cavities operating in the TM₁₁₀ mode, thus allowing low frequency designs. This geometry would also be effective for the deflection of beams propagating at velocities substantially less than that of light.

Measurement Of Direct Fₒ(980) Photoproduction On The Proton, K. P. Adhikari, H. Bagdasaryan, S. Bültmann, S. L. Careccia, K. V. Dharmawardane, G. E. Dodge, N. Kalantarians, A. Klein, A.V. Klimenko, S. E. Kuhn, J. Lanchiet, M. R. Niroula, J. Zhang

We report on the results of the first measurement of exclusive f₀(980) meson photoproduction on protons for E_γ= 3.0–3.8 GeV and −t = 0.4–1.0 GeV² . Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The resonance was detected via its decay in the π⁺π⁻ channel by performing a partial wave analysis of the reaction γp→pπ⁺π⁻ . Clear evidence of the f₀(980) meson was found in the interference between P and S waves at M _π+π− ∼1 GeV. The S -wave differential …

Physics Faculty Publications

A search for exotic mesons in the π⁺π⁺π⁻ system photoproduced by the charge exchange reaction γp→π⁺π⁺π⁻(n) was carried out by the CLAS Collaboration at Jefferson Lab. A tagged-photon beam with energies in the 4.8 to 5.4 GeV range, produced through bremsstrahlung from a 5.744 GeV electron beam, was incident on a liquid-hydrogen target. A partial wave analysis was performed on a sample of 83 000 events, the highest such statistics to date in this reaction at these energies. The main objective of this study was to look for the …
