Physics Faculty Publications

We present a determination of the nonsinglet transversity parton distribution function (PDF) of the nucleon, normalized with respect to the tensor charge at μ2 ¼ 2 GeV2 from lattice quantum chromodynamics. We apply the pseudodistribution approach, using a gauge ensemble with a lattice spacing of 0.094 fm and the light quark mass tuned to a pion mass of 358 MeV. We extract the transversity PDF from the analysis of the short-distance behavior of the Ioffe-time pseudodistribution using the leading-twist nextto-leading order (NLO) matching coefficients calculated for transversity. We reconstruct the x-dependence of the transversity PDF through an expansion in a …

Measurement Of Charged-Pion Production In Deep-Inelastic Scattering Off Nuclei With The Clas Detector, Clas Collaboration, S. Morán, R. Dupre, H. Hakobyan, Moskov J. Amaryan, Dilini Bulumulla, Mohammad Hattawy, Florian Hauenstein, Sebastian Kuhn, Pushpa Pandey, Jiwan Poudel, Yelena Prok, Lawrence B. Weinstein, N. Zachariou, J. Zhang, Z. W. Zhao, Et Al.

Background: Energetic quarks in nuclear deep-inelastic scattering propagate through the nuclear medium. Processes that are believed to occur inside nuclei include quark energy loss through medium-stimulated gluon bremsstrahlung and intranuclear interactions of forming hadrons. More data are required to gain a more complete understanding of these effects.

Purpose: To test the theoretical models of parton transport and hadron formation, we compared their predictions for the nuclear and kinematic dependence of pion production in nuclei.

Methods: We have measured charged-pion production in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering off D, C, Fe, and Pb using the CLAS detector and the CEBAF 5.014-GeV electron beam. …

Search For Photoproduction Of Axionlike Particles At Gluex, Shankar Adhikari, C.S. Akondi, M. Albrecht, Moskov Amaryan, Tyler P. Viducic, Z. Zhang, Z. Zhao, J. Zhou, The Gluex Collaboration, Et Al.

Physics Faculty Publications

We present a search for axionlike particles, a, produced in photon-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of approximately 4 GeV, focusing on the scenario where the a-gluon coupling is dominant. The search uses a → γγ and a → π⁺π⁻π⁰ decays, and a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 168  pb⁻¹ collected with the GlueX detector. The search for a → γγ decays is performed in the mass range of 180 < m_a <480  MeV, while the search for a → π⁺π⁻π⁰ decays explores the 600 < m_{a …}

Inverse Moment Of The B Meson Quasidistribution Amplitude, Ji Xu, Xi-Ruo Zhang, Shuai Zhao

Physics Faculty Publications

We perform a study on the structure of the inverse moment (IM) of quasidistributions, by taking B-meson quasidistribution amplitude (quasi-DA) as an example. Based on a one-loop calculation, we derive the renormalization group equation and velocity evolution equation for the first IM of quasi-DA. We find that, in the large velocity limit, the first IM of B-meson quasi-DA can be factorized into IM as well as logarithmic moments of light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA), accompanied by short distance coefficients. Our results can be useful either in understanding the patterns of perturbative matching in large momentum effective theory or evaluating inverse …

ATHENA has been designed as a general purpose detector capable of delivering the full scientific scope of the Electron-Ion Collider. Careful technology choices provide fine tracking and momentum resolution, high performance electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry, hadron identification over a wide kinematic range, and near-complete hermeticity. This article describes the detector design and its expected performance in the most relevant physics channels. It includes an evaluation of detector technology choices, the technical challenges to realizing the detector and the R&D required to meet those challenges.

Improved Electrostatic Design Of The Jefferson Lab 300 Kv Dc Photogun And The Minimization Of Beam Deflection, M. A. Mamun, D. B. Bullard, J. R. Delayen, J. M. Grames, C. Hernandez-Garcia, Geoffrey A. Krafft, M. Poelker, R. Suleiman, S.A.K. Wijethunga

Physics Faculty Publications

An electron beam with high bunch charge and high repetition rate is required for electron cooling of the ion beam to achieve the high luminosity required for the proposed electron-ion colliders. An improved design of the 300 kV DC high voltage photogun at Jefferson Lab was incorporated toward overcoming the beam loss and space charge current limitation experienced in the original design. To reach the bunch charge goal of ~ few nC within 75 ps bunches, the existing DC high voltage photogun electrodes and anode-cathode gap were modified to increase the longitudinal electric field (Ez) at the photocathode. The anode-cathode …

Parton Distribution Function For Topological Charge At One Loop, Anatoly Radyushkin, Shuai Zhao

Physics Faculty Publications

We present results for the gg-part of the one-loop corrections to the recently introduced “topological charge” GPD ^~F(x, q²). In particular, we give expression for its evolution kernel. To enforce strict compliance with the gauge invariance requirements, we have used on-shell states for external gluons, and have obtained identical results both in Feynman and light-cone gauges. No “zero mode” δ(x) terms were found for the twist-4 gluon GPD ^~F(x, q²).

Polarized Gluon Pseudodistributions At Short Distances, Ian Balitsky, Wayne Morris, Anatoly Radyushkin

Physics Faculty Publications

We formulate the basic points of the pseudo-PDF approach to the lattice calculation of polarized gluon PDFs. We present the results of our calculations of the one-loop corrections for the bilocal G_μα(z)G̃_λβ(0) correlator of gluonic fields. Expressions are given for a general situation when all four indices are arbitrary, and also for specific combinations of indices corresponding to three matrix elements that contain the twist-2 invariant amplitude related to the polarized PDF. We study the evolution properties of these matrix elements, and derive matching relations between Euclidean and light-cone Ioffe-time distributions. These relations are necessary for …

Measurement Of Spin Density Matrix Elements In Λ(1520) Photoproduction At 8.2-8.8 Gev, Shankar Adhikari, C. S. Akondi, M. Albrecht, Moskov Amaryan, Tyler Viducic, B. Zihlmann, Et Al., Gluex Collaboration, D. I. Glazier, V. Mathieu

Physics Faculty Publications

We report on the measurement of spin density matrix elements of the Λ(1520) in the photoproduction reaction γp→Λ(1520)K⁺, via its subsequent decay to K⁻p. The measurement was performed as part of the GlueX experimental program in Hall D at Jefferson Laboratory using a linearly polarized photon beam with E_γ = 8.2 GeV–8.8 GeV. These are the first such measurements in this photon energy range. Results are presented in bins of momentum transfer squared, − (t − t₀). We compare the results with a Reggeon exchange model and determine that natural exchange amplitudes are …

New Measurements Of The Beam-Normal Single Spin Asymmetry In Elastic Electron Scattering Over A Range Of Spin-0 Nuclei, Prex And Crex Collaborations, D. Adhikari, H. Albataineh, D. Androic, F. Hauenstein, M.N.H. Rashad, W. Zhang, J. Zhang, X. Zheng, Et Al.

Physics Faculty Publications

We report precision determinations of the beam-normal single spin asymmetries (A_n) in the elastic scattering of 0.95 and 2.18 GeV electrons off ¹²C, ⁴⁰Ca, ⁴⁸Ca, and ²⁰⁸Pb at very forward angles where the most detailed theoretical calculations have been performed. The first measurements of A_n for ⁴⁰Ca and ⁴⁸Ca are found to be similar to that of ¹²C, consistent with expectations and thus demonstrating the validity of theoretical calculations for nuclei with Z ≤ 20. We also report A_n for ²⁰⁸Pb at two …

Spectroscopic Study Of A Possible Λ𝑛𝑛 Resonance And A Pair Of (E, E'K⁺) Reaction With A Tritium Target, Hall A Collaboration, B. Pandey, L. Tang, T. Gogami, Florian Hauenstein, Charles Hyde, Z. Ye, J. Zhang, X. Zheng, Et Al.

Physics Faculty Publications

A mass spectroscopy experiment with a pair of nearly identical high-resolution spectrometers and a tritium target was performed in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. Utilizing the (e,e′K⁺) reaction, enhancements, which may correspond to a possible Λnn resonance and a pair of ΣNN states, were observed with an energy resolution of about 1.21 MeV (σ), although greater statistics are needed to make definitive identifications. An experimentally measured Λnn state may provide a unique constraint in determining the Λn interaction, for which no scattering data exist. In addition, although bound A = 3 and 4 Σ hypernuclei have …

Probing For High-Momentum Protons In ⁴He Via The ⁴He (E, E'P) X Reactions, Jefferson Lab Hall A Collaboration, S. Iqbal, F. Benmokhtar, M. Ivanov, L. B. Weinstein, X. Zheng, P. Zhu, R. Zielinski, Et Al

Physics Faculty Publications

Experimental cross sections for the ⁴He(e,e′p) X reactions in the missing energy range from 0.017 to 0.022 GeV and up to a missing momentum of 0.632 GeV/c at x_B = 1.24 and Q² = 2 (GeV/c)² are reported. The data are compared to relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations for the ⁴He(e,e′p)³H channel. Significantly more events are observed for p_m ≥ 0.45 GeV/c than are predicted by the theoretical model, and striking fluctuations in the ratio of data to the theoretical model around p_m = 0.3GeV/c are possible signals of initial-state multinucleon …

Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering Cross Section At High Bjorken 𝓍B, F. Georges, M.N.H. Rashad, A. Stefanko, J. Zhang, Y. Zhao, P. Zhu, Et Al.

Physics Faculty Publications

We report high-precision measurements of the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) cross section at high values of the Bjorken variable 𝓍_B. DVCS is sensitive to the generalized parton distributions of the nucleon, which provide a three-dimensional description of its internal constituents. Using the exact analytic expression of the DVCS cross section for all possible polarization states of the initial and final electron and nucleon, and final state photon, we present the first experimental extraction of all four helicity-conserving Compton form factors (CFFs) of the nucleon as a function of 𝓍_B, while systematically including helicity flip amplitudes. …

Determination Of The Argon Spectral Function From (E, E'P) Data, Jefferson Lab Hall A Collaboration, L. Jiang, A.M. Ankowski, D. Abrams, Florian Hauenstein, Charles Hyde, S. Wood, Z. Ye, J. Zhang, Et Al.

Physics Faculty Publications

The E12-14-012 experiment, performed in Jefferson Lab Hall A, has measured the (e,e′p) cross section in parallel kinematics using a natural argon target. Here, we report the full results of the analysis of the data set corresponding to beam energy 2.222 GeV, and spanning the missing momentum and missing energy range 15 ≲ pm ≲ 300  MeV /c and 12 ≲ Em ≲ 80  MeV. The reduced cross section, determined as a function of p_m and E_m with ≈ 4% accuracy, has been fitted using the results of Monte Carlo simulations involving a model spectral function and …

Rapidity Evolution Of Tmds With Running Coupling, Ian Balitsky, Giovanni A. Chirilli

Physics Faculty Publications

The scale of a coupling constant for rapidity-only evolution of transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) operators in the Sudakov kinematic region is calculated using the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie optimal scale setting [S. J. Brodsky et al., Phys. Rev. D 28, 228 (1983).]. The effective argument of a coupling constant is halfway in the logarithmical scale between the transverse momentum and energy of TMD distribution. The resulting rapidity-only evolution equation is solved for quark and gluon TMDs.

Accessing Scattering Amplitudes Using Quantum Computers, Raúl A. Briceño, Marco A. Carrillo, Juan V. Guerrero, Maxwell T. Hansen, Alexandru M. Sturzu

Physics Faculty Publications

Future quantum computers may serve as a tool to access non-perturbative real-time correlation functions. In this talk, we discuss the prospects of using these to study Compton scattering for arbitrary kinematics. The restriction to a finite-volume spacetime, unavoidable in foreseeable quantum-computer simulations, must be taken into account in the formalism for extracting scattering observables. One approach is to work with a non-zero iϵ-prescription in the Fourier transform to definite momentum and then to estimate an ordered double limit, in which the spacetime volume is sent to infinity before ϵ is sent to 0. For the amplitudes and parameters considered here, …

Magnetic Flux Expulsion In Superconducting Radio-Frequency Niobium Cavities Made From Cold Worked Niobium, Bashu D. Khanal, S. Balachandran, S. Chetri, P. J. Lee, P. Dhakal

Physics Faculty Publications

Trapped residual magnetic field during the cooldown of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities is one of the primary source of RF residual losses leading to lower quality factor. Historically, SRF cavities have been fabricated from high purity fine grain niobium with grain size ~50 - 100 μm as well as large grain with grain size of the order of few centimeters. Non-uniform recrystallization of fine-grain Nb cavities after the post fabrication heat treatment leads to higher flux trapping during cooldown, hence the lower quality factor. We fabricated two 1.3 GHz single cell cavities from cold-worked niobium from different vendors and …

Samples For 3rd Harmonic Magnetometry Assessment Of Nbtin-Based Sis Structures, D.R. Beverstock, C.Z. Antoine, Jean R. Delayen, D. Manos, Iresha Harshani Senevirathne, J. K. Spradlin, A-M. Valente-Feliciano

Physics Faculty Publications

In the quest for alternative superconducting materials to bring accelerator cavity performance beyond the bulk niobium (Nb) intrinsic limits, a promising concept uses superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) thin film structures that allows magnetic flux shielding in accelerator cavities to higher fields [1]. Candidate materials for such structures are NbTiN as the superconductor and AlN as the insulator. We have demonstrated high quality NbTiN and AlN deposited by reactive DC magnetron sputtering (DCMS), both for individual layers and multilayers. Interface quality has been assessed for bilayer stacks with 250 nm NbTiN layers and AlN thicknesses from 30 nm down to1 nm. These SIS …

Bunch Length Measurements At The Cebaf Injector At 130 Kv, Sunil Pokharel, M. W. Bruker, J. M. Grames, A. S. Hofler, R. Kazimi, Geoffrey A. Krafft, S. Zhang

Physics Faculty Publications

In this work, we investigated the evolution in bunch length of beams through the CEBAF injector for low to high charge per bunch. Using the General Particle Tracer (GPT), we have simulated the beams through the beamline of the CEBAF injector and analyzed the beam to get the bunch lengths at the location of chopper. We performed these simulations with the existing injector using a 130 kV gun voltage. Finally, we describe measurements to validate these simulations. The measurements have been done using chopper scanning technique for two injector laser drive frequency modes: one with 500 MHz, and another with …

Magnetic Field Penetration Technique To Study Field Shielding Of Multilayered Superconductors, Iresha Harshani Senevirathne, Alex Gurevich, Jean R. Delayen, A-M Valente-Feliciano

Physics Faculty Publications

The SIS structure which consists of alternative thin layers of superconductors and insulators on a bulk niobium has been proposed to shield niobium cavity surface from high magnetic field and hence increase the accelerating gradient. The study of the behavior of multilayer superconductors in an external magnetic field is essential to optimize their SRF performance. In this work we report the development of a simple and efficient technique to measure penetration of magnetic field into bulk, thin film and multilayer superconductors. Experimental setup contains a small superconducting solenoid which can produce a parallel surface magnetic field up to 0.5 T …

Perturbative Unitarity And Nec Violation In Genesis Cosmology, Yong Cai, Ji Xu, Shuai Zhao, Siyi Zhou

Physics Faculty Publications

Explorations of the violation of null energy condition (NEC) in cosmology could enrich our understanding of the very early universe and the related gravity theories. Although a fully stable NEC violation can be realized in the “beyond Horndeski” theory, it remains an open question whether a violation of the NEC is allowed by some fundamental properties of UV-complete theories or the consistency requirements of effective field theory (EFT). We investigate the tree-level perturbative unitarity for stable NEC violations in the contexts of both Galileon and “beyond Horndeski” genesis cosmology, in which the universe is asymptotically Minkowskian in the past. We …

High Resolution Diagnostic Tools For Superconducting Radio Frequency Cavities, I. Parajuli, G. Ciovati, J. R. Delayen

Physics Faculty Publications

Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities are one of the fundamental building blocks of modern particle accelerators. To achieve the highest quality factors (10¹⁰–10¹¹), SRF cavities are operated at liquid helium temperatures. Magnetic flux trapped on the surface of SRF cavities during cool-down below the critical temperature is one of the leading sources of residual RF losses. Instruments capable of detecting the distribution of trapped flux on the cavity surface are in high demand in order to better understand its relation to the cavity material, surface treatments and environmental conditions. We have designed, developed, and commissioned two high-resolution …

We performed an experiment using tritium and hydrogen cryogenic gas targets at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in 2018 (E12-17-003)[1, 2]. In this article, we discuss the Λ/Σ⁰ hyperon electroproduction from hydrogen target. Elementary Λ/Σ⁰ hyperon production processes are important not only for an absolute mass scale calibration in our experiment, but also for the study of the electroproduction mechanisms themselves. In this article, we reported the results of the differential cross section for the p(e, e’K⁺)Λ/Σ⁰ reaction at Q² ∼ 0.5 (GeV/c)².

Evaluation Of Single-Cell Cavities Made Of Forged Ingot Niobium At Jefferson Lab, P. Dhakal, Bashu D. Khanal, Gianluigi Ciovati, G. R. Myneni

Physics Faculty Publications

Currently, fine grain niobium (Nb) (grain size ∼ 50 µm) and large grain Nb (grain size of a few cm) are being used for the fabrication of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. Medium grain forged ingot with grain size of a few hundred µm may be beneficial for cost-effectiveness as well as providing better performance for future SRF-based accelerators. Forged ingot Nb with medium grain size is a novel production method to obtain Nb discs used for the fabrication of superconducting radio frequency cavities. We have fabricated two 1.5 GHz single cell cavities made from forged Nb ingot with a …

Missing-mass spectroscopy with the ³H(e, e′K⁺) reaction was carried out at Jefferson Lab’s (JLab) Hall A in Oct–Nov, 2018. The differential cross section for the ³H(γ^∗, K⁺)Λnn was deduced at ω = Ee − E_e′ = 2.102 GeV and at the forward K⁺-scattering angle (0^° ≤ θ_γ∗K ≤ 5^°) in the laboratory frame. Given typical predicted energies and decay widths, which are (B_Λ, Γ) = (−0.25, 0.8) and (−0.55, 4.7) MeV, the cross sections were found …

We present new data on the Bjorken sum ^-Γ ^p-n₁ (Q²) at 4-momentum transfer 0.021 ≤ Q² ≤ 0.496 GeV². The data were obtained in two experiments performed at Jefferson Lab: EG4 on polarized protons and deuterons, and E97110 on polarized ³He from which neutron data were extracted. The data cover the domain where chiral effective field theory (χEFT), the leading effective theory of the Strong Force at large distances, is expected to be applicable. We find that our data and the predictions from χEFT are only in marginal …

Nonlinear Meissner Effect In Nb3Sn Coplanar Resonators, Junki Makita, C. Sundahl, Gianluigi Ciovati, C. B. Eom, Alex Gurevich

Physics Faculty Publications

We investigated the nonlinear Meissner effect (NLME) in Nb₃Sn thin-film coplanar resonators by measuring the resonance frequency as a function of a parallel magnetic field at different temperatures. We used low rf power probing in films thinner than the London penetration depth λ(B) to significantly increase the field onset of vortex penetration and measure the NLME under equilibrium conditions. Contrary to the conventional quadratic increase of λ(B) with B expected in s-wave superconductors, we observed a nearly linear increase of the penetration depth with B. We concluded that this behavior of λ(B) is due to weak linked grain …

We report a new measurement of the beam-spin asymmetry, Σ, for the ^→𝛾n → K⁺Σ⁻ reaction using quasi-free neutrons in a liquid-deuterium target. The new dataset includes data at previously unmeasured photon energy and angular ranges, thereby providing new constraints on partial wave analyses used to extract properties of the excited nucleon states. The experimental data were obtained using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS), housed in Hall B of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab). The CLAS detector measured reaction products from a liquid-deuterium target produced by an energy-tagged, linearly polarised photon beam with …
