Download or read book Parity Violating Electron Scattering from 4He and the Strange Electric Form Factor of the Nucleon written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have measured the parity-violating electroweak asymmetry in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons from 4He at an average scattering angle [theta]{sub lab} = 5.7 degrees and a four-momentum transfer Q2 = 0.091 GeV2. From these data, for the first time, the strange electric form factor of the nucleon G{sub E}{sup s} can be isolated. The measured asymmetry of A{sub PV} = 6.72 ± 0.84 (stat) ± 0.21 (syst) parts per million yields a value of G{sub E}{sup s} = -0.038 ± 0.042 (stat) ± 0.010 (syst), consistent with zero.

This book was released on 1999-07-13 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few years there has been considerable progress in improving the accuracy of parity violation experiments in electron scattering at high energy and in atomic physics. Recent results are a challenge to the standard electroweak theory and our understanding of hadron structure. This book is an extensive review of the advances in this field. The theoretical framework is presented at a pedagogical level, experiments and future projects are reviewed, and the results and their interpretation are discussed in depth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HAPPEX is a new experiment to probe the strange structure of the nucleon with parity violating electron scattering. We describe the physics motivation, provide an experimental overview and report on the results from the first data run. The asymmetry for the elastic scattering of 3.3 GeV electrons off target protons at a scattering angle of 12.5 degrees was measured to a precision of 15% of itself. The contribution from strange quark form factors was found to be zero within the experimental and theoretical uncertainties.
Download or read book From Parity Violation to Hadronic Structure and more written by Serge Kox and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-07 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 50 years after the proposal of Lee and Young in 1956 to test the hypothesis of parity violation in weak interactions and the subsequent experimental verification of parity violation by C. S. Wu, parity violation has today become a useful property of weak interactions. This is due to the fact that the focus nowadays has changed: parity violation in weak interactions is no more a topic of investigation but is used as a tool in many different fields ranging from nuclear physics to the search for the hidden extra dimensions requested by string theory. For our first workshop which took place June 5-8, 2002, at the Institut fiir Ke- physik of the Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz, we concentrated on the in vestigation of the strangeness contribution in the nucleon. This book contains the refereed and selected papers of the second workshop "From Parity Violation to Hadron Structure and more (Part II)", which took place June 8-11, in the Labo- toire de Physique Subatomique et de Cosmologie, in Grenoble. These papers appear in EPJAdirect, the electronic-only part of EPJA, and they are accessible without restrictions. They will also appear in printed form and can be ordered through Springer. The excellent presentations show the dramatic and steady progress in the accuracy of measured parity violating asymmetries over the last few years.

Download or read book Non Standard Physics and Nucleon Strangeness in Low Energy PV Electron Scattering written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model, strange quarks in the nucleon, and nuclear structure effects to the left-right asymmetry measured in parity-violating (PV) electron scattering from 12C and the proton are discussed. It is shown how lack of knowledge of the distribution of strange quarks in the nucleon, as well as theoretical uncertainties associated with higher-order dispersion amplitudes and nuclear isospin-mixing, enter the extraction of new limits on the electroweak parameters S and T from these PV observables. It is found that a series of elastic PV electron scattering measurements using 4He could significantly constrain the s-quark electric form factor if other theoretical issues are resolved. Such contraints would reduce the associated form factor uncertainty in the carbon and proton asymmetries below a level needed to permit extraction of interesting low-energy constraints on S and T from these observables. For comparison, the much smaller scale of s-quar.

Book excerpt: The goal of Experiment E04-115 (the G0 backward angle measurement) at Jefferson Lab is to investigate the contributions of strange quarks to the fundamental properties of the nucleon. The experiment measures parity-violating asymmetries in elastic electron scattering off hydrogen and quasielastic electron scattering off deuterium at backward angles at Q2 = 0.631 (GeV/c)2 and Q2 = 0.232 (GeV/c)2. The backward angle measurement represents the second phase of the G0 experiment. The first phase, Experiment E00-006 (the G0 forward angle experiment), measured parity-violating asymmetries in elastic electron scattering off hydrogen at forward angles over a Q2 range of 0.1-1.0 (GeV/c)2. The experiments used a polarized electron beam and unpolarized hydrogen and deuterium liquid targets. From these measurements, along with the electromagnetic form factors, one can extract the contribution of the strange quark to the proton's charge and magnetization distributions. This thesis represents a fi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nucleon's strange electric and magnetic form factors G_E^s and G_M^s can be probed via parity-violating electron scattering. The HAPPEx collaboration has made new measurements of the parity-violating asymmetry A_PV in elastic scattering of 3 GeV electrons off hydrogen and 4He targets with = 6.0 degrees. For 4He the preliminary result is A_PV = (+6.43 +- 0.23 (stat) +- 0.22 (syst)) x 10^{-6}. For hydrogen the preliminary result isA_PV = ( -1.60 +- 0.12 (stat) +- 0.05 (syst)) x 10^{-6}. From these values we extract G^s_E = 0.004 +- 0.014 +- 0.013at = 0.077 GeV/c^2, and G^s_E+ 0.09 G^s_M = 0.004 +- 0.011 +- 0.005at = 0.109 GeV/c^2, both consistent with zero, providing stringent new limits on the role of strange quarks in the vector structure of the nucleon.
