Title: Compton scattering from ${}^{4}{He}$ at the TUNL $HI γ S$ facility

Abstract

Differential cross sections for elastic Compton scattering from ⁴He have been measured with high statistical precision at the High Intensity γ-ray Source at laboratory scattering angles of 55°, 90°, and 125° using a quasi-monoenergetic photon beam with a weighted mean energy value of 81.3 MeV. The results are compared to previous measurements and similar fore-aft asymmetry in the angular distribution of the differential cross sections is observed. Lastly, this experimental work is expected to strongly motivate the development of effective-field-theory calculations of Compton scattering from ⁴He to fully interpret the data.

Proton Compton Scattering from Linearly Polarized Gamma Rays

Journal Article Li, X. ; Ahmed, M. W. ; Banu, A. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Differential cross sections for Compton scattering from the proton have been measured at scattering angles of 55°, 90°, and 125° in the laboratory frame using quasi-monoenergetic linearly (circularly) polarized photon beams with a weighted mean energy value of 83.4 MeV (81.3 MeV). These measurements were performed at the High Intensity Gamma-Ray Source facility at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory. Here, the results are compared to previous measurements and are interpreted in the chiral effective field theory framework to extract the electromagnetic dipole polarizabilities of the proton.

Compton scattering from ${}^{4}{He}$ at 61 MeV

Journal Article Sikora, M. H. ; Ahmed, M. W. ; Banu, A. ; ... - Physical Review C

The Compton scattering cross section from ⁴He has been measured with high statistical accuracy over a scattering angle range of 40° - 159° using a quasimonoenergetic 61-MeV photon beam at the High Intensity Gamma-Ray Source. The data are interpreted using a phenomenological model sensitive to the dipole isoscalar electromagnetic polarizabilities (α_s and β_s) of the nucleon. These data can be fit with the model using values of α_s and β_s that are consistent with the currently accepted values. Finally, these data will serve as benchmarks of future calculations from effective field theories and lattice quantum chromodynamics.

Search for Neutrinoless Double- $β$ Decay in ${}^{76}{Ge}$ with the Majorana Demonstrator

Journal Article Aalseth, C. E. ; Abgrall, N. ; Aguayo, E. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The MAJORANA Collaboration is operating an array of high purity Ge detectors to search for neutrinoless double-β decay in ⁷⁶Ge. The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR comprises 44.1 kg of Ge detectors (29.7 kg enriched in ⁷⁶Ge) split between two modules contained in a low background shield at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. In this paper, we present results from data taken during construction, commissioning, and the start of full operations. We achieve unprecedented energy resolution of 2.5 keV FWHM at Q_ββ and a very low background with no observed candidate events in 9.95 kg yr of enriched Ge exposure, resulting in a lower limit on the half-life of 1.9 × 10²⁵ yr (90% C.L.). This result constrains the effective Majorana neutrino mass to below 240-520 meV, depending on the matrix elements used. In our experimental configuration with the lowest background, the background is 4.0more »« less
