Title: Hard exclusive pion electroproduction at backward angles with CLAS

Abstract

We report on the first measurement of cross sections for exclusive deeply virtual pion electroproduction off the proton, $$e p \to e^\prime n \pi^+$$, above the resonance region at backward pion center-of-mass angles. The $$\varphi^*_{\pi}$$-dependent cross sections were measured, from which we extracted three combinations of structure functions of the proton. Our results are compatible with calculations based on nucleon-to-pion transition distribution amplitudes (TDAs) and shed new light on nucleon structure.

Exclusive Backward-Angle Omega Meson Electroproduction

Thesis/Dissertation Wenliang, Li

Exclusive meson electroproduction at different squared four-momenta of the exchanged virtual photon, Q² , and at different four-momentum transfers, t and u, can be used to probe QCD's transition from hadronic degrees of freedom at the long distance scale to quark-gluon degrees of freedom at the short distance scale. Backward-angle meson electroproduction was previously ignored, but is anticipated to offer complimentary information to conventional forward-angle meson electroproduction studies on nucleon structure. This work is a pioneering study of backward-angle ω cross sections through the exclusive ¹H(e, e'p)ω reaction using the missing mass reconstruction technique. The extracted cross sections are separatedmore »« less

Exclusive single pion electroproduction off the proton: Results from CLAS

Journal Article Park, Kijun - Few-Body Systems

Exclusive meson electroproduction off protons is a powerful tool to probe the effective degrees of freedom in excited nucleon states at the varying distance scale where the transition from the contributions of both quark core and meson-baryon cloud to the quark core dominance. During the past decade, the CLAS collaboration has executed a broad experimental program to study the excited states of the proton using polarized electron beam and both polarized and unpolarized proton targets.

Hard exclusive electroproduction of a pion in the backward region

Journal Article Lansberg, J P ; Pire, B ; Szymanowski, L ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study the scaling regime of pion electroproduction in the backward region, eN{yields}e{sup '}N{sup '}{pi}. We compute the leading-twist amplitude in the kinematical region, where it factorises into a short-distance matrix element and long-distance dominated nucleon distribution amplitudes and nucleon to pion transition distribution amplitudes. Using the chiral limit of the latter, we obtain a first estimate of the cross section, which may be experimentally studied at JLab or Hermes.

Unique Access to $u$ -Channel Physics: Exclusive Backward-Angle Omega Meson Electroproduction

Journal Article Li, W. B. ; Huber, G. M. ; Blok, H. P. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Backward-angle meson electroproduction above the resonance region, which was previously ignored, is anticipated to offer unique access to the three quark plus sea component of the nucleon wave function. In this Letter, we present the first complete separation of the four electromagnetic structure functions above the resonance region in exclusive ω electroproduction off the proton, ep→e^{'}pω, at central Q^{2} values of 1.60, 2.45 GeV^{2}, at W=2.21 GeV. The results of our pioneering -u≈-u_{min} study demonstrate the existence of a unanticipated backward-angle cross section peak and the feasibility of full L/T/LT/TT separations in this never explored kinematic territory. At Q^{2}=2.45 GeV^{2},more »« less

Virtual Compton scattering and neutral pion electroproduction in the resonance region up to the deep inelastic region at backward angles [and Momentum Transfer Squared of Q2 = 1.0 GeV2]

Journal Article Laveissière, G. ; Degrande, N. ; Jaminion, S. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We have made the first measurements of the virtual Compton scattering process via the ep {yields} ep{gamma} exclusive reaction at Q{sup 2} = 1 GeV{sup 2} in the nucleon resonance region. The cross section is obtained at center of mass (CM) backward angle, in a range of total ({gamma}*p) CM energy W from the proton mass up to W = 1.91 GeV. The data show resonant structures in the first and second resonance regions, and are well reproduced at higher W by the Bethe-Heitler+Born cross section, including t-channel {pi}{sup 0}-exchange. At high W, our data, together with existing real photonmore »« less
