P-Wave Nucleon-Pion Scattering Amplitude In The Δ(1232) Channel From Lattice Qcd, Giorgio Silvi, Srijit Paul, Constantia Alexandrou, Stefan Krieg, Luka Leskovec, Stefan Meinel, John Negele, Marcus Petschlies, Andrew Pochinsky, Gumaro Rendon, Sergey Syritsyn, Antonio Todaro

Physics Faculty Publications

We determine the Δ(1232) resonance parameters using lattice QCD and the Lüscher method. The resonance occurs in elastic pion-nucleon scattering with J^P= 3/2⁺ in the isospin I=3/2, P-wave channel. Our calculation is performed with N_f= 2+1 flavors of clover fermions on a lattice with L ≈ 2.8 fm. The pion and nucleon masses are m_π= 255.4 (1.6) MeV and mN = 1073(5) MeV, respectively, and the strong decay channel Δ → _πN is found to be above the threshold. To thoroughly map out the energy dependence of the nucleon-pion …

Results On Total And Elastic Cross Sections In Proton–Proton Collisions At √S = 200 Gev, J. Adam, L. Adamczyk, J. R. Adams, S. Bueltmann, Z. Zhu, M. Zyzak, Et Al., Star Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

We report results on the total and elastic cross sections in proton-proton collisions at √s = 200 GeV obtained with the Roman Pot setup of the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The elastic differential cross section was measured in the squared four-momentum transfer range 0.045 ≤ −t ≤ 0.135 GeV². The value of the exponential slope parameter B of the elastic differential cross section dσ/dt ∼ e^−Bt in the measured −t range was found to be B = 14.32 ± 0.09 (stat.)^+0.13_−0.28(syst.) GeV⁻². The total cross section σ_tot, obtained from …

Quark-Mass Dependence Of Elastic Πk Scattering From Qcd, David J. Wilson, Raúl A. Briceño, Jozef K. Dudek, Robert G. Edwards, Christopher E. Thomas

Physics Faculty Publications

We present a determination of the isospin-1/2 elastic πK scattering amplitudes in S and P partial waves using lattice quantum chromodynamics. The amplitudes, constrained for a large number of real-valued energy points, are obtained as a function of light-quark mass, corresponding to four pion masses between 200 and 400 MeV, at a single lattice spacing. Below the first inelastic threshold, the P-wave scattering amplitude is dominated by a single pole singularity that evolves from being a stable bound state at the highest quark mass into a narrow resonance that broadens as the pion and kaon masses are reduced. As in …

Longitudinal Target-Spin Asymmetries For Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering, E. Seder, A. Biselli, S. Bültmann, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, Y. Prok, Clas Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

A measurement of the electroproduction of photons off protons in the deeply inelastic regime was performed at Jefferson Lab using a nearly 6 GeV electron beam, a longitudinally polarized proton target, and the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer. Target-spin asymmetries for e p → e'p'ɣ events, which arise from the interference of the deeply virtual Compton scattering and the Bethe-Heitler processes, were extracted over the widest kinematics in Q², x_B, t, and ɸ, for 166 four-dimensional bins. In the framework of generalized parton distributions, at leading twist the t dependence of these asymmetries provides insight into …

Single Spin Asymmetry An In Polarized Proton–Proton Elastic Scattering At √S = 200 Gev, L. Adamczyk, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, Z. Ahammed, A. V. Alakhverdyants, I. Alekseev, J. Alford, C. D. Anson, D. Arkhipkin, E. Aschenauer, S. Bültmann, I. Koralt, D. Plyku

We report a high precision measurement of the transverse single spin asymmetry A_N at the center of mass energy √s = 200 GeV in elastic proton–proton scattering by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The A_N was measured in the four-momentum transfer squared t range 0.003 ⩽ | t | ⩽ 0.035 ( GeV / c ) ² , the region of a significant interference between the electromagnetic and hadronic scattering amplitudes. The measured values of A_N and its t-dependence are consistent with a vanishing hadronic spin-flip amplitude, thus providing strong constraints on the ratio of the …

Evidence For The Onset Of Color Transparency In Ρ0 Electroproduction Off Nuclei, L. El Fassi, L. Zana, H. Hafidi, M. Holtrop, B. Mustapha, W. K. Brooks, H. Hakobyan, Z. Zheng, K. P. Adhikari, D. Adikaram, M. J. Amaryan, H. Baghdasaryan, S. Bültmann, G. E. Dodge, C. E. Hyde, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, M. Mayer, H. Seraydaryan, L. B. Weinstein

Physics Faculty Publications

We have measured the nuclear transparency of the incoherent diffractive A( e , e ′ ρ⁰ ) process in ¹²C and ⁵⁶Fe targets relative to ²H using a 5 GeV electron beam. The nuclear transparency, the ratio of the produced ρ⁰ ʼs on a nucleus relative to deuterium, which is sensitive to ρA interaction, was studied as function of the coherence length (lc), a lifetime of the hadronic fluctuation of the virtual photon, and the four-momentum transfer squared (Q²). While the transparency for both ¹²C and ⁵⁶Fe …

Are Microbubbles Necessary For The Breakdown Of Liquid Water Subjected To A Submicrosecond Pulse?, R. P. Joshi, J. Qian, G. Zhao, J. Kolb, K. H. Schoenbach, E. Schamiloglu, J. Gaudet

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Electrical breakdown in homogeneous liquid water for an ∼ 100 ns voltage pulse is analyzed. It is shown that electron-impact ionization is not likely to be important and could only be operative for low-density situations or possibly under optical excitation. Simulation results also indicate that field ionization of liquid water can lead to a liquid breakdown provided the ionization energies were very low in the order of 2.3eV. Under such conditions, an electric-field collapse at the anode and plasma propagation toward the cathode, with minimal physical charge transport, is predicted. However, the low, unphysical ionization energies necessary for matching …

Corrected Article: Exclusive Electroproduction Of ᵠ Mesons At 4.2 Gev [Physical. Rev. C 63, 065205, (2001)], M. Bektasoglu, L. Ciciani, G. E. Dodge, T. A. Forest, C. E. Hyde-Wright, S. E. Kuhn, L. M. Qin, F. Sabatié, L. B. Weinstein, Et Al., The Clas Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

We studied the exclusive reaction ep → e' p' ᵠ using the ᵠ →K⁺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 GeV²and 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 c Δ t …
