Meeting on the Physics of Nucleons and NucleiSURA, Washington, DC October 16-17, 2006

2

Subject / Scope / Theme of this Talk● What can we hope to learn experimentally in the next 5 – 10

years from JLab experiments?

– Recent experiments

– Approved experiments awaiting beam time

– Possible future experiments – 12 GeV upgrade● Unfortunately, there is no easy connection between the

experiments and the theory issues discussed – it is difficult to know in advance what aspect of theory is most impacted, and to what degree

3

Coverage● Cover experiments that look at nuclei as assemblies of

nucleons, mesons, ... and the limits to that picture

– A(e,e'): elastic, inelastic form factors

– A(e,e'p): spectroscopic factors, “momentum distributions”, correlations, FSI, MEC, IC, relativity, ...

– A(γ,p)

– A(e,e'K+)● Except: experiments I expect to be covered by other people

● Do not cover “DIS-type”, GDH, hadronization, neutron form factor, hadrons-in-medium, ... or published experiments

Experiments Under Analysis

● Experiments that have run, but not published the results

9

E97-111: 4He(e,e'p)

● Goal: search for the minimum expected for p

miss ~ 500 MeV/c in IA

● Used high Q2 and parallel kinematics to suppress reaction mechanism effects

● Subsequent Laget calculation indicates FSI remain important

10

E00-102: 16O(e,e'p)

relativistic many-body calculation of Udias et al.: spinor distortions lead to interesting A

LT

behavior

11

E01-020: 2H(e,e'p)● Systematic study over several kinematic regions near

quasifree peak, emphasizing / suppressing different reaction mechanism effects

● Example: xBj > 1, parallel kinematics sensitive to SR structure

● Example below: FSI interactions leads to “peak” in cross section when neutron is at 90 deg w.r.t. q-vector.

12

E00-007: 2H(γ,p)n

● Study of reaction mechanism at high W and high t (four-momentum transfer)

● Bias: large W and t --> use quarks!

13

E94-107: 9Be,12C,16O(e,e'K+)

● Hypernuclear spectroscopy

● ΛN effective interaction

● Vs π / K beams:

– High resolution

– Favors spin flip transitions

19

E01-011: Hypernuclei●

28Si(e,e'K+)28ΛAl

show s- and p-state Λ's

● Perhaps some additional bound-state (d-state?) strength?

● Follow up experiment, E05-115, uses new equipment to improve S/N

20

E05-103: Low Energy

2H(γ,p)n

● Study how well best theory (Schwamb and Arenhövel) reproduces recoil polarizations at E

γ = 280 – 360 MeV

21

E05-004: A(Q) at low Q in ed Elastics50 Years of ed Elastic Data...

● Form factors are momentum space distributions, from wave function x nucleon f.f. + ...

● Relativistic theories describe a broad range of data well – understand deuteron to short range, < 1 fm

● Theoretical issues with implementing relativity (current conservation, completeness)

22

E05-004: A(Q) at low Q in ed Elastics

● Plot: A(Q)/Afit

(Q) vs Q

● Convergence of χPT, size of relativistic corrections

● Data taken for Ta, Al, C, D, H vs Q at 362 and 687 MeV

● Q = 0.1 – 0.7 GeV, 17 Q steps, in fine steps out to 0.4 GeV

● One missing systematics study: no beam energy measurement – will use kinematic fit instead

● Generally good spectra

23

E05-004:A(Q) at low Q in ed

Elastics

● E = 687 MeV

● θ = 25.5 deg

26

E03-104: Limits to Standard Nuclear Model

● 4He(e,e'p) polarization transfer ratio vs PWIA, relativistic, and relativistic + QMC theory

● Better agreement with QMC, but more definitive experiment desired

27

E03-104: Limits to Standard Nuclear Model● Various

improvements improve uncertainties by factor of 2

● Improved induced polarizations will also test Schiavilla explanation: spin-dependent charge-exchange FSI

28

Future Experiments

● Experiments scheduled to run during the next several months

29

disintegration by examining pp disintegration

● Hall B γ3He data small compared to γd, 10 – 25 % as large (s11ds/dt ~ 0.4)

● Laget: pp dipole moment● Theories, based on γd, have

100 MeV/c cut● Hint of a phase transition

starting at 1.4 GeV? But I would expect a “transition” to be complete by 1 or 1.3 GeV.

● E03-101 to measure 5-10% cross sections up to ~3.5 GeV

34

Future Experiments

● Experiments likely to run in next few years, but not scheduled to run during the next several months

35

E04-107: 4He(e,e'p)● Systematic study of quasifree

nucleon knockout, similar to what was done in E89-044 for 3He(e,e'p) (shown)

E04-107: 4He(e,e'p)

● ATL

will be measured, and response functions will be separated in both parallel and perpendicular kinematics

37

39

E05-115: Hypernuclei

● Already discussed under E01-011

40

E06-002: PREX: Lead Neutron Radius Experiment

● To be discussed by Krishna Kumar

41

Unapproved / Unproposed Experiments

● Several other ideas have been around, which have, for various reasons, never resulted in approved experiments, including– B structure function / G

M in ed elastic scattering – the

minimum in B is not well established

– Threshold deuteron electrodisintegration: d(e,e')pn – the low-lying unbound inelastic states are poorly understood

– Charge radii for Li, B – these are only known to ~0.05 or worse, compared to ~0.01 uncertainties on other light nuclei

– ...

42

The 12 GeV Program

● The 12 GeV physics program has focused on nucleon and meson structure

● Following are a few nuclear physics experiments that have been discussed

43

A(e,e') at x>1 (Superfast quarks)

● I expect John Arrington to comment.

44

Few-Body Elastic Form Factors

● The few body program was studied using MAD and an electron calorimeter.

45

Summary

● There has been a broad nuclear physics program at JLab● Many more results to appear in the next few years:

– 11 unpublished experiments

– 3 experiments scheduled to run in the next few months

– 5 experiments in the queue● Interest remains high over the next several years – the 12

GeV upgrade leads to measurements at higher Q, emphasizing the shorter-range structure of nuclei– It appears likely the JLab nuclear community will focus

more on issues of quark substructure

47

D(e,e') Elastic Scattering● Deuteron elastic scattering is a primary test case for predicting

nuclear structure from the NN interaction● Spin-1 deuteron has 3 form factors:

σ = σNS

[A(GC,G

Q,G

M) + B(G

M)tan2(θ/2)]

● Cross section data allow A and B to be determined. Polarization measurements are needed to separate out G

C and G

Q● Many theoretical tools: conventional hadronic theory (NR, rel), no-

π EFT, PT, pQCD ...● In NR approach, ff are a product of nucleon ff times body ff

48

Polarization Observables

● Using S = A + Btan2(θ/2), vector and tensor polarization observables are:– Px ~ G

M(G

C+ηG

Q/3)/S

– Pz ~ GM

2/S– T

20 ~ [“G

CG

Q” + “G

Q2” + “G

M2”]/S

– T21

~ GMG

Q/S

– T22

~ GM

2/S● T

20, T

21, and T

22 have been measured, because they do

not require polarized beam, and because GM is small -

T20

mainly determines the separation of GC and G

Q

49

... But Problems Remain● G

M: the minimum is difficult

● GQ: a 1% discrepancy

between theory and data for Q

d – in EFT it is missing

shorter-range physics, but noone knows what it is in conventional theory

● GC: Problems in A at low Q2

lead to questions about extracting form factors and about the role of relativity

50

Upcoming Data● Improved low Q data have been measured at Bates

BLAST . Figure from Tsentalovich, Nucleon05

51

Deuteron Photo-disintegration● When one probes the nucleus (nucleon) in elastic

scattering, the transferred energy and momentum match to boost the nucleus (nucleon); internal degrees of freedom are not “explicitly” excited

– With high q, but small W, perhaps we should not be surprised to not see quarks in the deuteron

● Photodisintegration provides high q AND high W: 286 channels (combinations of different allowed intermediate states of 24 baryon resonances) are explicitly excited for Eγ = 0 – 4 GeV

52

Data Overview● Extensive low Eγ studies, for dσ/dΩ and polarizations,

(~1100 data points, mostly py and Σ)

– Recent measurements from LEGS, Mainz, and TUNL

– Generally good agreement between theory (Schwamb and Arenhövel) and data

● High energy studies from SLAC and JLab, mostly dσ/dΩ plus some recoil polarimetry (C

x', p

y, C

z')

– Conventional theory fails above 1 GeV; some non-perturbative quark models not ruled out

53

Some Observables in d(γ,p)ndσ/dΩ, Σ, T, C

x', p

y, C

z'

54

Agreement in ds/dΩ, Σ

55

Disagreement in py

● The p y

problem led to dibaryon excitement in the 1970s/80s

● It remains unresolved

Does pQCD apply? -> Is there a good quark model? Is there a phase transition?

57

90º Excitation FunctionsCross sections fall by a factor of 30,000 from 1 – 4 GeV, ~following ``expected'' quark scaling, dσ/dt ~ s-11

Hadronic theories not satisfactory and not shown

Most quark models normalized

58

The Quark ModelsQGS: Regge phenomenology to evaluate 3-quark exchange, justified by dominance of planar diagrams

RNA, HRM, TQC, CQM: Photon absorbed and quarks exchanged; might be related to NN elastic scattering – all use hard scattering approximations

59

90º Excitation FunctionsCross sections fall by factor of 1.2x106 from 1 – 6 GeV

The onset of ~quark scaling, dσ/dt ~ s-11, at each angle corresponds to pT ~ 1.1 GeV: P Rossi et al, PRL 04, 012301 (2005)

Similar AD shapes -- insensitive to dynamics?

JLab Hall B Angular DistributionsBeautiful set of angular distributions vs. energy

P. Rossi et al., E93-017

62

Σ AsymmetryHHC - Hadron Helicty Conservation – leads to Σ = -1

Adamian et al. showed Σ heads away from HHC, with increasing energy

Grishina et al. pointed out iso-vector (scalar) limit is Σ = 1 (-1)

63

Induced Polarization py

HHC leads to py = 0,

and py vanishes above 1

GeV

HRM predicts py small,

<0

Hadronic prediction, that D

13 + D

15 leads to

large resonance peak, falsified

64

Polarization TransferSchwamb & Arenhövel prediction good at low energies

Cx' small, but not

vanishing, so no HHC

Cannot rule out or strongly support HRM / QGS / approach to HHC

65

3He (pp) Disintegration?After ~20 years of high energy deuteron photo-disintegration, what have we learned?

PQCD does not apply, but also conventional hadronic models do not work: use quark d.o.f.

Cross section and polarization data different in character above vs below ~ 1 GeV in E

γ and p

T

QGS appears to be overall the best candidate quark model for the few GeV region

Is there anything we can do to better indicate the underlying physics? 2He disintegration!

66

3He (pp) DisintegrationBrodsky et al, PLB 578, 69 (2003): ratio of pp to pn well determined in theory

At low energy, σ(γpp) / σ(γpn) ~ 0.1: pp dipole moment vanishes: JM Laget

Quark models predict larger ratio: slow 2nd order or fast 1st order phase transition?

67

3He (pp) αn DistributionLight cone momentum fraction, α = (E-p

z)/m,

is conserved: α

γ+α

He=0+3=α

p1+α

p2+α

n

Soft FSI “do not” affect α, so α

n

reflects neutron spectator wave function

RNA short range/broad, HRM long range/narrow

68

3He (pp) OscillationsProminent oscillations in pp cross section, as opposed to flatter pn cross section, reflected in oscillations in γpp, as opposed to flatter energy dependence in γd?

69

3He(γ,pp)n Measured!Hall B experiment, analyzed by S. Strauch, GWU (now SC)

PRELIMINARY

70

3He(γ,pp)n Neutron Spectator?Is the neutron a spectator? Cut at 0.1 – 0.25 GeV/c

71

3He(γ,pp)n Cross SectionsRed: “γpp->pp”, symmetric about 90˚

Blue: γd->pn x ¼, asymmetric about 90˚

Cross sections for γpp like back-angle γd, near 1 GeV

72

3He(γ,pp)n αn DistributionHard distribution from short-range physics, evidence for TQC? 1 GeV/c nucleons in c.m., probably lots of rescattering broadens distribution

73

3He(γ,pp)n: Hall A E03-101Can cleanly distinguish 1/10, 1/4, ... x deuteron disintegration cross section vs “phase transition”First run: May 2007Given exciting results near 2-2.5 GeV, would want to map transition: Hall A or Hall B
