Beam-Helicity Asymmetries in Double-Charged-Pion Photoproduction on the Proton
2005
Beam-helicity asymmetries for the two-pion-photoproduction reaction gamma + p --> p pi+ pi- have been studied for the first time in the resonance region for center-of-mass energies between 1.35 GeV and 2.30 GeV. The experiment was performed at Jefferson Lab with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer using circularly polarized tagged photons incident on an unpolarized hydrogen target. Beam-helicity-dependent angular distributions of the final-state particles were measured. The large cross-section asymmetries exhibit strong sensitivity to the kinematics and dynamics of the reaction. The data are compared with the results of various phenomenological model calculations, and show that these…
Ortervirales: New Virus Order Unifying Five Families of Reverse-Transcribing Viruses
2018
International audience; Reverse-transcribing viruses, which synthesize a copy of genomic DNA from an RNA template, are widespread in animals, plants, algae, and fungi (1, 2). This broad distribution suggests the ancient origin(s) of these viruses, possibly [...]
Heavy mass expansion, light-by-light scattering through pointlike quanta, and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon
2003
Contributions from light-by-light scattering to ${(g}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{-}2)/2,$ the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, are mediated by the exchange of charged fermions or scalar bosons. Assuming large masses M, pointlike couplings for the virtual particles and employing the technique of large mass expansion, analytical results are obtained for virtual fermions and scalars in the form of a series in ${(m}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}{/M)}^{2}.$ This series is well convergent even for the case ${M=m}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}.$ For pointlike virtual fermions, the expansion confirms published analytical formulas. For virtual scalars, the result can be used to evaluate the contribution from poi…
