Title: Probing charged lepton flavor violation with a positron beam at CEBAF (JLAB)

Abstract

The addition of a high intensity 11 GeV polarized positron beam at the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at JLAB would allow for a search of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) via the process $$e^+N \rightarrow \mu^+ X$$. The proposed Solenoidal Large Intensity Detector (SoLID) spectrometer, in the configuration with muon chambers, would be ideal for such CLFV searches. Various new physics scenarios, including the phenomenologically convenient Leptoquark (LQ) framework, predict CLFV rates that are within reach of current or planned experiments. A positron beam with instantaneous luminosity, $${\cal L}\sim 10^{38}$$ cm$$^{-2}$$s$$^{-1}$$, could improve on existing HERA limits by two or three orders of magnitude. The availability of positron beam polarization would also allow for distentangling CLFV effects mediated by left-handed vs. right-handed LQs.

Using polarized positrons to probe physics beyond the standard model

Journal Article Furletova, Yulia ; Mantry, Sonny - AIP Conference Proceedings

A high intensity polarized positron beam, as part of the JLAB 12 GeV program and the proposed electron-ion collider (EIC), can provide a unique opportunity for testing the Standard Model (SM) and probing for new physics. The combination of high luminosity with polarized electrons and positrons incident on protons and deuterons can isolate important effects and distinguish between possible new physics scenarios in a manner that will complement current experimental efforts. Here, a comparison of cross sections between polarized electron and positron beams will allow for an extraction of the poorly known weak neutral current coupling combination 2C_3u - C_3dmore »« less

Concept of a Polarized Positron Source for CEBAF

Conference Habet, Sami ; Roblin, Y. ; Bodenstein, R. M. ; ...

Positron beams would provide new and meaningful probes for the experimental program at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab), including but not limited to future hadronic physics and dark matter experiments. Critical requirements involve generating positron beams with a high degree of spin polarization, sufficient intensity and a continuous-wave (CW) bunch train compatible with acceleration to 12 GeV at the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). To address these requirements, a polarized positron injector based upon the bremsstrahlung of an intense CW spin polarized electron beam is considered [1].

Search for Leptoquarks and Lepton Flavor Violation at the H1 experiment

Journal Article Lindfeld, Linus - AIP Conference Proceedings

We review recent preliminary results of searches for leptoquarks (LQs) with the H1 experiment at HERA. A search for first generation leptoquarks was performed using the e-p and e+p scattering data collected between 1994-2000 corresponding to an integrated luminosity Lint = 117 pb-1. In addition, the e+p H1 data set of the period 1999-2000 (Lint = 66 pb-1) was used to search for lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes mediated by second and third generation LQs. No evidence for direct or indirect production of LQs was found in either analysis. The analyses established constraints on the Yukawa coupling of LQs andmore » LFV processes.« less

Feasibility and conceptual design of a C.W. positron source at CEBAF

Thesis/Dissertation Golge, Serkan

A feasibility study of a CW positron source for the 12 GeV upgrade at Jefferson Lab (JLAB) is provided. The proposed ≥ 100 nA Continuous Wave (CW) positron source at JLAB has several unique and challenging characteristics: high current incident electron beam at 126 MeV with a high beam power (up to a MW); CW e^- beam and CW e⁺ production. The multiple scattering is a dominant process when creating e⁺ in a target, which results a large phase space area of the emitted positrons. An admittance study was done at CEBAF to find the maximum phase space area, whichmore »« less
