Book Precision Measurement of the Neutron Spin Dependent Structure Functions

Download or read book Precision Measurement of the Neutron Spin Dependent Structure Functions written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In experiment E154 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center the spin dependent structure function g[sub 1][sup n] (x, Q[sup 2]) of the neutron was measured by scattering longitudinally polarized 48.3 GeV electrons off a longitudinally polarized[sup 3]He target. The high beam energy allowed the author to extend the kinematic coverage compared to the previous SLAC experiments to 0.014[le] x[le] 0.7 with an average Q[sup 2] of 5 GeV[sup 2]. The author reports the integral of the spin dependent structure function in the measured range to be[integral][sub 0.014][sup 0.7] dx g[sub 1][sup n](x, 5 GeV[sup 2])=[minus]0.036[+-] 0.004(stat.)[+-] 0.005(syst.). The author observes relatively large values of g[sub 1][sup n] at low x that call into question the reliability of data extrapolation to x[r-arrow] 0. Such divergent behavior disagrees with predictions of the conventional Regge theory, but is qualitatively explained by perturbative QCD. The author performs a Next-to-Leading Order perturbative QCD analysis of the world data on the nucleon spin dependent structure functions g[sub 1][sup p] and g[sub 1][sup n] paying careful attention to the experimental and theoretical uncertainties. Using the parameterizations of the helicity-dependent parton distributions obtained in the analysis, the author evolves the data to Q[sup 2]= 5 GeV[sup 2], determines the first moments of the polarized structure functions of the proton and neutron, and finds agreement with the Bjorken sum rule.

Book A Precision Measurement of the Neutron Spin Structure Functions Using a Polarized HE 3 Target

Download or read book A Precision Measurement of the Neutron Spin Structure Functions Using a Polarized HE 3 Target written by T. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes a precision measurement of the neutron spin dependent structure function, g{sub 1}{sup n}(x). The measurement was made by the E154 collaboration at SLAC using a longitudinally polarized, 48.3 GeV electron beam, and a {sup 3}He target polarized by spin exchange with optically pumped rubidium. A target polarization as high as 50% was achieved. The elements of the experiment which pertain to the polarized {sup 3}He target will be described in detail in this thesis. To achieve a precision measurement, it has been necessary to minimize the systematic error from the uncertainty in the target parameters. All of the parameters of the target have been carefully measured, and the most important parameters of the target have been measured using multiple techniques. The polarization of the target was measured using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, and has been calibrated using both proton NMR and by measuring the shift of the Rb Zeeman resonance frequency due to the {sup 3}He polarization. The fraction of events which originated in the {sup 3}He, as measured by the spectrometers, has been determined using a physical model of the target and the spectrometers. It was also measured during the experiment using a variable pressure {sup 3}He reference cell in place of the polarized {sup 3}He target. The spin dependent structure function g{sub 1}{sup n}(z) was measured in the Bjorken x range of 0.014

Book A Precision Measurement of the Neutron D2

Download or read book A Precision Measurement of the Neutron D2 written by Matthew Posik and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The g2 nucleon spin-dependent structure function measured in electron deep inelastic scattering contains information beyond the simple parton model description of the nucleon. It provides insight into quark-gluon correlations and a path to access the confining local color force a struck quark experiences just as it is hit by the virtual photon due to the remnant di-quark. The quantity d2, a measure of this local color force, has its information encoded in an x2 weighted integral of a linear combination of spin structure functions g1 and g2 and thus is dominated by the valence-quark region at large momentum fraction x. To date, theoretical calculations and experimental measurements of the neutron d2 differ by about two standard deviations. Therefore, JLab experiment E06-014, performed in Hall A, made a precision measurement of this quantity. Double spin asymmetries and absolute cross-sections were measured in both DIS and resonance regions by scattering longitudinally polarized electrons at beam energies of 4.74 and 5.89 GeV from a longitudinally and transversely polarized 3He target. Results for the absolute cross-sections and spin structure functions on 3He will be presented in the dissertation, as well as results for the neutron d2 and extracted color forces.

Double spin asymmetries and absolute cross-sections were measured in both DIS and resonance regions by scattering longitudinally polarized electrons at beam energies of 4.74 and 5.89 GeV from a longitudinally and transversely polarized 3He target.

Book Measurement of the Deep inelastic Spin dependent Structure Functions of the Proton and Neutron at HERA

Download or read book Measurement of the Deep inelastic Spin dependent Structure Functions of the Proton and Neutron at HERA written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is possible to measure the deep-inelastic spin-dependent structure functions g1/sup p/(x) and g1(superscript n)(x) for the proton and neutron using internal polarized hydrogen, deuterium, and 3He targets of polarization 50% and thickness 1014 to 1015 cm−2 and the 60 mA longitudinally polarized 30 GeV electron beam in the HERA electron storage ring. The measurement of the deep-inelastic spin-structure of both isospin states of the nucleon at the same kinematics and using the same apparatus allows the Bjorken sum rule to be experimentally checked. In addition, it uniquely constrains the spin distribution of the u and d quarks as a function of x in any model of the nucleon. Possible target and detector configurations are described and an estimate of the accuracy of such a measurement is presented.
