Transverse beam spin asymmetries at backward angles in elastic electron-proton and quasielastic electron-deuteron scattering.

چکیده
We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetries in elastic scattering of transversely polarized electrons from the proton, and performed the first measurement in quasielastic scattering on the deuteron, at backward angles (lab scattering angle of 108°) for Q² = 0.22 GeV²/c² and 0.63 GeV²/c² at beam energies of 362 and 687 MeV, respectively. The asymmetry arises due to the imaginary part of the interference of the two-photon exchange amplitude with that of single-photon exchange. Results for the proton are consistent with a model calculation which includes inelastic intermediate hadronic (πN) states. An estimate of the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry for the scattering from the neutron is made using a quasistatic deuterium approximation, and is also in agreement with theory.

Parity Violating Electron Scattering on the Proton and Deuteron at Backward Angles
The parity violating asymmetry in quasielastic electron scattering from the deuteron at backward scattering angles has been recently measured for the first time. Combined with the previously performed similar measurement on the prbton, this measurement provides a determination of both the proton's strange magnetic form factor G'M and the axial vector e-N form factor GA. A preliminary analysis i...
متن کاملSingle spin asymmetries in elastic electron-nucleon scattering
We discuss the target and beam normal spin asymmetries in elastic electron-nucleon scattering which depend on the imaginary part of two-photon exchange processes between electron and nucleon. In particular, we estimate these transverse spin asymmetries for beam energies below 2 GeV, where the twophoton exchange process is dominated from the resonance contribution to the doubly virtual Compton s...

Detailed study of the nucleons is very important to understand the nucleus. Electron-Proton scattering is the best tool to probe the nucleus and hence deep into it. In the One-Photon exchange (Born) approximation, the structure of the nucleon characterized by electric and magnetic form factors, GE(Q ) and GM(Q ), which depend only on momentum transfer squared, Q. At Q=0, the proton form factors...

Optimal conditions are used in nondynamical formalism to diagonalize the pionproton reaction matrix as much as possible. Invariance laws are imposed to simplify the relationship between observables and bilinear combination of amplitudes. Transverse amplitudes are determined by using measured polarization parameter in xfp elastic scattering at 6.0 GeVIC
متن کاملMeasurements of transverse quasielastic electron scattering from the deuteron at high momentum transfers.
Cross sections for 180’ inelastic electron scattering from the deuteron were measured from the break-up threshold to beyond the quasielastic peak for incident beam energies of 0.843, 1.020, 1.189, and 1.281 GeV, corresponding to 0.75 5 Q2 <_ 2.57 (GeV/c)2. Th e d t a a are in reasonable agreement with nonrelativistic models that include final-state interactions and meson exchange currents. The ...
