We report on the measurement of the beam spin asymmetry in the deeply virtual Compton scattering off 4He using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Lab using a 6 GeV longitudinally polarized electron beam incident on a pressurized 4He gaseous target. We detail the method used to ensure the exclusivity of the measured reactions, in particular the upgrade of CLAS with a radial time projection chamber to detect the low-energy recoiling 4He nuclei and an inner calorimeter to extend the photon detection acceptance at forward angles. Our results confirm the theoretically predicted enhancement of the …

Quasielastic 12C(e,e'p) scattering was measured at spacelike 4-momentum transfer squared Q2 = 8, 9.4, 11.4, and 14.2 (GeV/c)2, the highest ever achieved to date. Nuclear transparency for this reaction was extracted by comparing the measured yield to that expected from a plane-wave impulse approximation calculation without any final state interactions. The measured transparency was consistent with no Q2 dependence, up to proton momenta of 8.5 GeV/c, ruling out the quantum chromodynamics effect of color transparency at the measured Q2 scales in exclusive (e, e'p) reactions. These results impose strict constraints on models of color …


Photoproduction Of The F₂(1270) Meson Using The Clas Detector, Krishna P. Adhikari, Moskov J. Amaryan, Dilini Bulumulla, Mohammad Hattawy, G. Gavalian, Charles E. Hyde, Yelena Prok, J. Zhang, Et Al., Clas Collaboration Jan 2021

The quark structure of the f2(1270) meson has, for many years, been assumed to be a pure quark-antiquark (qq⁻) resonance with quantum numbers JPC = 2++. Recently, it was proposed that the f2(1270) is a molecular state made from the attractive interaction of two 𝜌 mesons. Such a state would be expected to decay strongly to final states with charged pions due to the dominant decay 𝜌 → π+π-, whereas decay to two neutral pions would likely be suppressed. Here, we measure for the first time the reaction 𝛾p …


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 Jan 2021

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, …

Whether one is interested in accessing the excited spectrum of hadrons or testing the standard model of particle physics, electroweak transition processes involving multihadron channels in the final state play an important role in a variety of experiments. Presently the primary theoretical tool with which one can study such reactions is lattice QCD, which is defined in a finite spacetime volume. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of implementing existing finite-volume formalism in realistic lattice QCD calculation of reactions in which a stable hadron can transition to one of several two-hadron channels under the action of an external current. …
