Relativistic Effects And Two-Body Currents In 2h(E⃗,E′P)N Using Out-Of-Plane Detection, Z L. Zhou, X Jiang, R Hicks, A Hotta, R Miskimen, Gerald Alvin Peterson, J Shaw

Gerald Alvin Peterson

Measurements of the 2H(e⃗,e′p)n reaction were performed with the out-of-plane magnetic spectrometers (OOPS) at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator. The longitudinal-transverse, fLT and fLT′, and the transverse-transverse, fTT, interference responses at a missing momentum of 210MeV/c were simultaneously extracted in the dip region at Q2 = 0.15 (GeV/c)2. In comparison to models of deuteron electrodisintegration, the data clearly reveal strong effects of relativity and final-state interactions and the importance of two-body meson-exchange currents and isobar configurations. We demonstrate that such effects can be disentangled by extracting these responses using the novel out-of-plane technique.


Electroproduction Of The Λ(1520) Hyperon, S P. Barrow, L Dennis, S B. Mcaleer, B Asavapibhop, R S. Hicks, D Lawrence, R Miskimen, Gerald Alvin Peterson, J Shaw Aug 2001

Electroproduction Of The Λ(1520) Hyperon, S P. Barrow, L Dennis, S B. Mcaleer, B Asavapibhop, R S. Hicks, D Lawrence, R Miskimen, Gerald Alvin Peterson, J Shaw

Gerald Alvin Peterson

The reaction ep⃗e′K+Λ(1520) with Λ(1520)→p′K- was studied at electron beam energies of 4.05, 4.25, and 4.46 GeV, using the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The cosθK+, φK+, Q2, and W dependencies of Λ(1520) electroproduction are presented for the kinematic region 0.9


Measurement Of The Elastic Magnetic Form Factor Of 3he At High Momentum Transfer, I Nakagawa, J Shaw, S Churchwell, X Jiang, B Asavapibhop, M C. Berisso, P E. Bosted, K Burchesky, R S. Hicks, A Hotta, R A. Miskimen, Gerald Alvin Peterson, S E. Rock Jun 2001

Gerald Alvin Peterson

New electron scattering measurements have been made that extend data on the 3He elastic magnetic form factor up to Q2 = 42.6fm-2. These new data test theoretical conjectures regarding non-nucleonic effects in the three-body system. The very small cross sections, as low as 10-40cm2/sr, required the use of a high-pressure cryogenic gas target and a detector system with excellent background rejection capability. No existing theoretical calculation satisfactorily accounts for all the available data.


Exclusive Electroproduction Of Φ Mesons At 4.2 Gev, K Lukashin, E S. Smith, B Asavapibhop, R A. Hicks, D Lawrence, R Miskimen, Gerald Alvin Peterson, J Shaw May 2001

Exclusive Electroproduction Of Φ Mesons At 4.2 Gev, K Lukashin, E S. Smith, B Asavapibhop, R A. Hicks, D Lawrence, R Miskimen, Gerald Alvin Peterson, J Shaw

Gerald Alvin Peterson

We studied the exclusive reaction ep⃗e′p′φ using the φ⃗K+K- decay mode. The data were collected using a 4.2 GeV incident electron beam and the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. Our experiment covers the range in Q2 from 0.7 to 2.2 GeV2, and W from 2.0 to 2.6 GeV. Taken together with all previous data, we find a consistent picture of φ production on the proton. Our measurement shows the expected decrease of the t slope with the vector-meson formation time cΔτ below 2 fm. At 〈cΔτ〉=0.6 fm, we measure bφ=2.27±0.42 GeV-2. The cross …

Critical Dynamics Of Two-Replica Cluster Algorithms, X. N. Li, Jonathan Machta Jan 2001

Critical Dynamics Of Two-Replica Cluster Algorithms, X. N. Li, Jonathan Machta

Jonathan Machta

The dynamic critical behavior of the two-replica cluster algorithm is studied. Several versions of the algorithm are applied to the two-dimensional, square lattice Ising model with a staggered field. The dynamic exponent for the full algorithm is found to be less than 0.4. It is found that odd translations of one replica with respect to the other together with global flips are essential for obtaining a small value of the dynamic exponent.

Laplacian Growth And Diffusion Limited Aggregation: Different Universality Classes, Felipe Barra, Benny Davidovitch, Anders Leverman, Itamar Procaccia Jan 2001

Laplacian Growth And Diffusion Limited Aggregation: Different Universality Classes, Felipe Barra, Benny Davidovitch, Anders Leverman, Itamar Procaccia

Benny Davidovitch

It had been conjectured that diffusion limited aggregates and Laplacian growth patterns (with small surface tension) are in the same universality class. Using iterated conformal maps we construct a oneparameter family of fractal growth patterns with a continuously varying fractal dimension. This family can be used to bound the dimension of Laplacian growth patterns from below. The bound value is higher than the dimension of diffusion limited aggregates, showing that the two problems belong to two different universality classes.
