Title: A cryogenic target for Compton scattering experiments at HIγS

Abstract

We have developed a cryogenic target for use at the High Intensity γ-ray Source (HIγS). The target system is able to liquefy 4He at 4 K, hydrogen at 20 K, and deuterium at 23 K to fill a 0.3 L Kapton cell. Liquid temperatures and condenser pressures are recorded throughout each run in order to ensure that the target's areal density is known to ~1%. The target is being utilized in a series of experiments which probe the electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon.

Compton scattering from the deuteron above pion-production threshold

Journal Article Strandberg, B. ; Annand, J. R. M. ; Briscoe, W. ; ... - Physical Review C

The electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon are fundamental nucleon-structure observables that characterize its response to external electromagnetic fields. The neutron polarizabilities can be accessed from Compton-scattering data on light nuclear targets. Recent measurements of the differential cross section for Compton scattering on the deuteron below the pion-production threshold have decreased the uncertainties in the neutron polarizabilities, yet the proton polarizabilities remain known substantially more accurately. Here, as the sensitivity of the cross section to the polarizabilities increases with incident photon energy, measurements above the pion threshold may offer a way for an improved determination of the neutron polarizabilities.

Designing optimal experiments: an application to proton Compton scattering

Journal Article Melendez, J. A. ; Furnstahl, R. J. ; Grießhammer, H. W. ; ... - European Physical Journal. A

Interpreting measurements requires a physical theory, but the theory’s accuracy may vary across the experimental domain. To optimize experimental design, and so to ensure that the substantial resources necessary for modern experiments are focused on acquiring the most valuable data, both the theory uncertainty and the expected pattern of experimental errors must be considered. We develop a Bayesian approach to this problem, and apply it to the example of proton Compton scattering. Chiral Effective Field Theory (χEFT) predicts the functional form of the scattering amplitude for this reaction, so that the electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon can be inferred frommore »« less

Cryogenic Target-Implosion Experiments on OMEGA

Journal Article - Journal of Physics, Conference Series

The University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics has been imploding thick cryogenic targets for six years. Improvements in the Cryogenic Target Handling System and the ability to accurately design laser pulse shapes that properly time shocks and minimize electron preheat, produced high fuel areal densities in deuterium cryogenic targets (202+/-7 mg/cm^2). The areal density was inferred from the energy loss of secondary protons in the fuel (D2) shell. Targets were driven on a low final adiabat (alpha = 2) employing techniques to radially grade the adiabat (the highest adiabat at the ablation surface). The ice layer meets the target-designmore »« less

Final Technical Report Project: Low-Energy Photonuclear Studies at HIGS and Lund

Technical Report Feldman, Gerald

This report summarizes a program of low-energy photonuclear studies at MAX-Lab in Lund (Sweden) and at the High Intensity Gamma Source (HIGS) at Duke University. A major emphasis has been on Compton scattering from deuterium in order to determine the electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the neutron. The studies at Lund utilized unpolarized photons at Egamma = 62-115 MeV to measure differential cross sections. The studies at HIGS utilized polarized and unpolarized photon beams (both linear and circular) at Egamma < 90 MeV. Polarization observables will be exploited to improve our understanding of the electric and magnetic polarizabilities, and inmore »« less

Producing Cryogenic Deuterium Targets for Experiments on OMEGA

Journal Article Harding, D R ; Sangster, T C ; Meyerhofer, D D ; ... - Fusion Science and Technology

The OMEGA cryogenic target handling system provides deuterium-filled cryogenic targets for direct-drive implosion experiments. The targets are 0.9 mm in diameter with a 3-{mu}m-thick outer plastic ablator and an inner ice layer that ranges from 80 to 100 {mu}m thick. The smoothest ice layer possessed an average root-mean-square (rms) roughness of 1.2 {mu}m, although values ranging from 2 to 4 {mu}m are more typical. Implosion experiments achieved a maximum yield of 2.11 x 10{sup 11} primary neutrons (70% of the clean one-dimensional yield) with an average areal density of 50 mg/cm{sup 2} with a 1-ns square, high-adiabat ({alpha} = 25)more »« less
