Colloquium: Roper resonance: Toward a solution to the fifty year puzzle

Journal Article Burkert, Volker D. ; Roberts, Craig D. - Reviews of Modern Physics

Discovered in 1963, the Roper resonance appears to be an exact copy of the proton except that its mass is 50% greater and it is unstable. These features of the Roper have been very difficult to explain so that for half a century this lightest excited state of the proton has defied understanding. The last decade has presented a new challenge, viz. precise information on the proton-to-Roper electroproduction transition form factors. Reaching to momentum transfer Q(2) approximate to 4.5 GeV2, the data probe a domain within which hard valence-quark degrees of freedom could be expected to determine form factor behavior.more »« less

New measurement of the EMC effect in light nuclei

Conference Solvignon-Slifer, Patricia

Twenty-six years ago, CERN physicists made the unexpected observation that the quark distribution in a nucleus is not just the sum of the quark distributions of its nucleons. This raised the logical question on the possible modification of nucleon structure in the nuclear medium. Describing the behavior of the nucleon in-medium has been one of the challenges of theoretical nuclear physics. Even after years of study, including additional measurements at CERN, SLAC and HERA, there is not a clear consensus. It has been broadly accepted that nuclear binding and Fermi motion should be included in any realistic models. Yet stillmore »« less
Proceedings of RIKEN BNL Research Center Workshop: Brookhaven Summer Program on Nucleon Spin Physics

Technical Report Aschenauer, A ; Qiu, Jianwei ; Vogelsang, W ; ...

Understanding the structure of the nucleon is of fundamental importance in sub-atomic physics. Already the experimental studies on the electro-magnetic form factors in the 1950s showed that the nucleon has a nontrivial internal structure, and the deep inelastic scattering experiments in the 1970s revealed the partonic substructure of the nucleon. Modern research focuses in particular on the spin and the gluonic structure of the nucleon. Experiments using deep inelastic scattering or polarized p-p collisions are carried out in the US at the CEBAF and RHIC facilities, respectively, and there are other experimental facilities around the world.

Heavy quarkonium: progress, puzzles, and opportunities

Journal Article Brambilla, N ; Heltsley, B K ; Vogt, R ; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

A golden age for heavy quarkonium physics dawned a decade ago, initiated by the confluence of exciting advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and an explosion of related experimental activity. The early years of this period were chronicled in the Quarkonium Working Group (QWG) CERN Yellow Report (YR) in 2004, which presented a comprehensive review of the status of the field at that time and provided specific recommendations for further progress. However, the broad spectrum of subsequent breakthroughs, surprises, and continuing puzzles could only be partially anticipated. Since the release of the YR, the BESII program concluded only to give birth to BESIII; themore »« less

Proceedings of the workshop on heavy ion physics at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS)

Conference Hansen, O

The Workshop in Heavy Ion Physics at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (HIPAGS) was held at Brookhaven from March 5 to 7, 2--1/2 days. The purpose was first to demonstrate the status of the experimental program of nucleus-nucleus collisions which started in the fall of 1986 with the first {sup 16}O beam at 14.6 GeV/c per nucleon. The second objective was to present the theoretical concepts and models being applied to interpret the data. The program also included surveys of the results from the heavy ion program at the CERN-SPS, in areas that are relevant for the AGS program and discussionsmore »« less
