Double-spin asymmetry in the cross section for exclusive ρ0 production in lepton–proton scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidence for a positive longitudinal double-spin asymmetry 〈Aρ1 〉 = 0.24 ± 0.11stat ± 0.02syst in the cross section for exclusive diffractive ρ0(770) vector–meson production in polarised lepton–proton scattering was observed by the HERMES experiment. The longitudinally polarised 27.56 GeV HERA positron beam was scattered off a longitudinally polarised pure hydrogen gas target. The average invariant mass of the photon–proton system has a value of 〈W 〉 = 4.9 GeV, while the average negative squared four-momentum of the virtual photon is 〈Q2〉 = 1.7 GeV2. The ratio of the present result to the HERMES Collaboration / Physics Letters B 513 (2001) 301–310 303 corresponding spin asymmetry in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering is in agreement with an early theoretical prediction based on the generalised vector–meson dominance model. 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Hard exclusive production in deep inelastic lepton scattering provides access to the unknown Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) of the nucleon. At HERMES, different observables for hard exclusive π + production have been measured with a 27.6 GeV positron beam on an internal hydrogen gas target. First preliminary results for the unpolarized ep → enπ + total cross section for 1.5 < Q 2 < 10....
متن کاملDouble - spin asymmetries in the cross section of ρ 0 and φ production at intermediate energies
Double-spin asymmetries in the cross section of electroproduction of ρ and φ mesons on the proton and deuteron are measured at the HERMES experiment. The photoabsorption asymmetry in exclusive ρ electroproduction on the proton exhibits a positive tendency. This is consistent with theoretical predictions that the exchange of an object with unnatural parity contributes to exclusive ρ electroprodu...
متن کاملCalculation of the triple and double cross sections in the proton-hydrogen impact at the ionization channel by removing singularity in the scattering amplitudes
In the present work, the triple and double cross sections of atomic hydrogen ionization in collision with the proton are calculated. The potential of the interaction is considered as a Coulombic; also, the first and second order Born approximations have been used. The singularity of the Green operator in the second order approximation has been removed for the analytical solution of the scatt...
متن کاملAccessing directly the strange quark content of the proton at HERA
We investigate a double-spin asymmetry for the semi-inclusive Λ hyperon production in the longitudinally deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering, the sign of which can provide us with important information about the strange quark helicity distribution in the proton. On the basis of the interpretation of the longitudinal deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering data as a negative strange quark p...
متن کاملHELICITY AND PLANAR AMPLITUDES IN PION-PROTON SCATTERING AT 6.0 GeV/c
In addition to optimal conditions, invariant laws of Lorentz, parity and time reversal are imposed to find the relation between observables (spin rotation parameters) and bilinear combination of helicity amplitudes in pion-proton elastic scattering at 6.0 GeV/c. By normalizing the differential cross-section to unity, the magnitudes of helicity amplitudes and the angle between them are dete...
