Radiative decay width measurements of neutral kaon excitations using the primakoff effect.

چکیده
We use K(L)'s in the 100-200 GeV energy range to produce 147 candidate events of the axial vector pair K1(1270)-K1(1400) in the nuclear Coulomb field of a Pb target and determine the radiative widths Gamma(K1(1400)-->K0+gamma)=280.8+/-23.2(stat)+/-40.4(syst) keV and Gamma(K1(1270)-->K0+gamma)=73.2+/-6.1(stat)+/-28.3(syst) keV. These first measurements appear to be lower than the quark-model predictions. We also place upper limits on the radiative widths for K(*)(1410) and K(*)(2)(1430) and find that the latter is vanishingly small in accord with SU(3) invariance in the naive quark model.

Update on A Precision Measurement of the η Radiative Decay Width via the Primakoff Effect
The proposal PR12-10-011 had been approved by PAC35 in January, 2010 to perform a precision measurement of the η → γγ decay width via the Primakoff effect in Hall D with the GlueX experimental setup. The decay width will be extracted from the measured differential cross sections at forward angles on two light targets, proton and He using a 11.5 GeV tagged photon beam. This result will not only ...
متن کاملHadron-Photon Interactions in COMPASS
The CERN COMPASS experiment will investigate hadron-photon interactions, to achieve a unique Primakoff Coulomb physics program based on hadron polarizability, hybrid mesons, chiral anomaly, and meson radiative transition studies. In COMPASS, pion (kaon) polarizabilities and radiative transitions will be measured via dedicated Primakoff effect reactions such as πγ → π ′ γ and πγ → M (meson). We ...
متن کاملA Precision Measurement of the η Radiative Decay Width via the Primakoff Effect
We propose to perform a measurement of the η → γγ decay width at a 3% precision via the Primakoff effect in Hall D with the GlueX standard setup. This experiment will not only resolve a long standing puzzle of the experimental discrepancy between the Primakoff and collider measurement results, but will also significantly reduce the overall error bar on this important quantity, resulting in a di...
متن کاملKLOE results on radiative kaon decays
While measuring the ratio RK = Γ(K± e2(γ))/Γ(K ± μ2(γ)), the KLOE Collaboration has studied the radiative process Ke2γ . The ratio of the width for the Ke2γ decay with a positively polarized photon from structure-dependent radiation to the inclusive Kμ2(γ) width is found to be 1.484(68)×10−5. The observed radiation spectrum agrees with predictions from chiral perturbation theory and is in contr...
متن کاملPion and Kaon Polarizabilities and Radiative Transitions
CERN COMPASS plans measurements of γπ and γK interactions using 50-280 GeV pion (kaon) beams and a virtual photon target. Pion (kaon) polarizabilities and radiative transitions will be measured via Primakoff effect reactions such as πγ → π ′ γ and πγ → meson. The former can test a precise prediction of chiral symmetry; the latter for πγ → a1(1260) is important for understanding the polarizabili...
