Data Analysis Techniques, Differential Cross Sections, And Spin Density Matrix Elements For The Reaction ᵞp → Φp, K.P. Adhikari, D. Adikaram, M.J. Amaryan, A. Klein, S. Koirala, Clas Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

High-statistics measurements of differential cross sections and spin density matrix elements for the reaction ᵞp → ϕp have been made using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. We cover center-of-mass energies (√s) from 1.97 to 2.84 GeV, with an extensive coverage in the ϕ production angle. The high statistics of the data sample made it necessary to carefully account for the interplay between the ϕ natural lineshape and effects of the detector resolution, that are found to be comparable in magnitude. We study both the charged-(ϕ → K+ K-) and neutral( ϕ → (KOSK …


Measurement Of Double-Polarization Asymmetries In The Quasielastic ³→He (→E, E' D) Process, M. Mihovilovic, G. Jin, M. Canan, S. Golge, R. Schiavilla, Jefferson Lab Hall A. Collaboration Jan 2014

Measurement Of Double-Polarization Asymmetries In The Quasielastic ³→He (→E, E' D) Process, M. Mihovilovic, G. Jin, M. Canan, S. Golge, R. Schiavilla, Jefferson Lab Hall A. Collaboration

We present a precise measurement of double-polarization asymmetries in the ³→He (→e, e' d) reaction. This particular process is a uniquely sensitive probe of hadron dynamics in 3He and the structure of the underlying electromagnetic currents. The measurements have been performed in and around quasielastic kinematics at Q2 = 0.25(GeV/c)2 for missing momenta up to 270 MeV/c. The asymmetries are in fair agreement with the state-of-the-art calculations in terms of their functional dependencies on pm and ω, but are systematically offset. Beyond the region of the quasielastic peak, the discrepancies become even more pronounced. Thus, our …


Beam-Spin Asymmetries From Semi-Inclusive Pion Electroproduction, K. P. Adhikari, M. J. Amaryan, C. Hyde, S. Koirala, S. E. Kuhn, L. B. Weinstein, Et Al., The Clas Collaboration Jan 2014

Beam-Spin Asymmetries From Semi-Inclusive Pion Electroproduction, K. P. Adhikari, M. J. Amaryan, C. Hyde, S. Koirala, S. E. Kuhn, L. B. Weinstein, Et Al., The Clas Collaboration

We have measured the moment Asin ɸLU corresponding to the polarized electron beam-spin asymmetry in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. Asin ɸLU is a twist-3 quantity providing information about quark-gluon correlations. Data were taken with the CLAS Spectrometer at Jefferson Lab using a 5.498 GeV longitudinally polarized electron beam and an unpolarized liquid hydrogen target. All three pion channels (π+0 and π-) were measured simultaneously over a large range of kinematics within the virtuality range Q2 ≈ 1.0- 4.5 GeV2. The observable was measured with better than 1% statistical …

High-statistics measurements of differential cross sections and spin density matrix elements for the reaction γp→ϕp have been made using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. We cover center-of-mass energies (√s) from 1.97 to 2.84 GeV, with an extensive coverage in the ϕ production angle. The high statistics of the data sample made it necessary to carefully account for the interplay between the ϕ natural lineshape and effects of the detector resolution, that are found to be comparable in magnitude. We study both the charged- (ϕ→K+K) and neutral- (ϕ→K0SK0L) K→ …
