Abstract

The differential cross section for p(e, e'ω)p has been studied at Q{sup 2} ~ 5.5 (GeV/c)2. Here Q{sup 2} represents the four momentum squared of the virtual photon in the excitation of baryonic resonances by an electron projectile. In order to extract the ω-meson differential cross section from the JLAB data, the data was compared to a full Monte Carlo simulation of the detector based on events generated for omega production in a way that the production cross section was varied to achieve a match to the data. The bin selected for this procedure takes into account the measure of robustness of the stripping of the ω peak from the multi-pion background as well as the statistics in the measured data and the Monte Carlo simulation of the signal and background physics. An error estimation technique for the cross section was based on determining the dependence of the extracted cross section parameters on the experimental set-up (including parameters for the spectrometer, target beam geometeries and performance). We compare our results with a Regge-based model for hadronic content in the t-channel exchange of a photon in Q{sup 2} region of overlap. There is an extension of this data into a completelymore »« less

Exclusive $π^{+}$ electroproduction off the proton from low to high $- t$

Journal Article Basnet, S.; Huber, G.; Li, W.; ... - Physical Review C

Background: Measurements of exclusive meson production are a valuable tool in the study of hadronic structure. Specifically, one can discern the relevant degrees of freedom at different distance scales through these studies. Purpose: To study the transition between non-perturbative and perturbative Quantum Chromodyanmics as the square of four momentum transfer to the struck proton, –t, is increased. Method: Cross sections for the ¹H(e,e'π⁺)n reaction were measured over the –t range of 0.272 to 2.127 GeV²with limited azimuthal coverage at fixed beam energy of 4.709 GeV, Q² of 2.4 GeV² and W of 2.0 GeV at the Thomas Jefferson National Acceleratormore »« less

Deeply virtual and exclusive electroproduction of omega mesons

Journal Article Morand, L

The exclusive omega electroproduction off the proton was studied in a large kinematical domain above the nucleon resonance region and for the highest possible photon virtuality (Q{sup 2}) with the 5.75 GeV beam at CEBAF and the CLAS spectrometer. Cross sections were measured up to large values of the four-momentum transfer (-t < 2.7 GeV{sup 2}) to the proton. The contributions of the interference terms sigma{sub TT} and sigma{sub TL} to the cross sections, as well as an analysis of the omega spin density matrix, indicate that helicity is not conserved in this process. The t-channel pi{sup 0} exchange, ormore »« less

Exclusive measurements of omega electroproduction off the proton in the resonance region

Conference Phelps, Evan - International Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series

A complete theory of strong interactions must describe the excited baryon spectrum as well as the structure of prominent states, which reflects the dynamics of nonperturbative QCD. Beyond the discriminating power of exclusive single- and double-pion electroproduction, the omega channel provides an additional probe of high-mass excited states. The current analysis provides preliminary differential and integrated cross sections of omega electroproduction off the proton from W = 1.7 to 3.2 GeV and Q{sup 2} = 1.5 to 5.5 GeV{sup 2}. The data was collected by JLab's CLAS detector during two run periods and comprises the largest sample of exclusive resonance-regionmore »« less

Near Threshold electroproduction of the Omega Meson at Momentum Transfer Q²=0.5 (GeV/c)²

Thesis/Dissertation Ambrosewicz, Pawel

Jefferson Lab kaon experiments E91016/E93018 produced data on both strangeness and vector meson electroproduction. The latter part of the experiments was focused on the electroproduction of the ω meson for momentum transfer Q ² near 0.5 (GeV/c) ². This reaction was selected from the inelastic ep channel, ¹H (e, e' p)X, by performing involved signal background separation. Tagging the ω meson production only on electron and proton not only introduced appreciable statistical error but also a sizeable systematic uncertainty due to the background removal. Nevertheless, the analysis yielded angular distributions of the differential cross section in the threshold regime extractedmore »« less

Spectroscopic research of Lambda hypernuclei up to medium-heavy mass region with the (e,e'K⁺) reaction

Thesis/Dissertation Gogami, Toshiyuki

In 2009 (August-November), the E05-115 experiment was carried out at JLab to investigate L hypernuclei in the wide mass region up to A = 52 ($$7\atop{Λ}$$He, $$10\atop{Λ}$$Be, $$12\atop{Λ}$$B and $$52\atop{Λ}$$V) with the (e,e'K⁺) reaction. This is the first attempt to investigate a medium heavy L hypernucleus with the (e,e'K⁺) reaction. Experimentally, it is difficult to measure heavier L hypernuclei as background rates of particles which originate from electromagnetic processes are roughly in proportion to Z2 (Z: target proton number) in the (e,e'K⁺) experiment. To perform the experiment, many experimental techniques have been developed and introduced such as optimization of themore »« less
