Meson exchange currents in pion double charge exchange at high energies
1995
In this letter we study the high energy behavior of the forward differential cross section for the $^{18}O(\pi^+,\pi^-)^{18}Ne$ double charge exchange reaction. We have evaluated the sequential and the meson exchange current mechanisms. The meson exchange current contribution shows a very weak energy dependence and becomes relevant at incident pion kinetic energies above 600 MeV.
Measurement ofΥ(1S+2S+3S)production inp+pand Au + Au collisions atsNN=200GeV
2015
Measurements of bottomonium production in heavy-ion and p + p collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are presented. The inclusive yield of the three states, (1S + 2S + 3S), was measured in the PHENIX experiment via electron-positron decay pairs at midrapidity for Au + Au and p + p collisions at root sNN = 200 GeV. The (1S + 2S + 3S) -> e(+)e(-) differential cross section at midrapidity was found to be B(ee)d sigma/dy = 108 +/- 38 (stat) +/- 15 (syst) +/- 11 (luminosity) pb in p + p collisions. The nuclear modification factor in the 30% most central Au + Au collisions indicates a suppression of the total. state yield relative to the extrapolation from p + p collision data. …
<‘γ*N→Δtransition form factors: A new analysis of data onp(e,e′p)π0atQ2=2.8and4.0 (GeV/c)2
2001
Recent JLab data of the differential cross section for the reaction ${p(e,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}p){\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ in the invariant mass region of $1.1lWl1.4 \mathrm{GeV}$ at four-momentum transfer squared ${Q}^{2}=2.8$ and $4.0 (\mathrm{GeV}{/c)}^{2}$ are analyzed with two models, both of which give an excellent description of most of the existing pion electroproduction data below $Wl1.5 \mathrm{GeV}.$ We find that at up to ${Q}^{2}=4.0 (\mathrm{GeV}{/c)}^{2},$ the extracted helicity amplitudes ${A}_{3/2}$ and ${A}_{/2}$ remain comparable with each other, implying that hadronic helicity is not conserved at this range of ${Q}^{2}.$ The ratios ${E}_{1+}{/M}_{1+}$ obtained show, starting …
Production ofψ(2S)mesons inpp¯collisions at 1.96 TeV
2009
We have measured the differential cross section for the inclusive production of $\ensuremath{\psi}(2\mathrm{S})$ mesons decaying to ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ that were produced in prompt or $B$-decay processes from $p\overline{p}$ collisions at 1.96 TeV. These measurements have been made using a data set from an integrated luminosity of $1.1\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ collected by the CDF II detector at Fermilab. For events with transverse momentum ${p}_{T}(\ensuremath{\psi}(2\mathrm{S}))g2\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/c$ and rapidity $|y(\ensuremath{\psi}(2\mathrm{S}))|l0.6$ we measure the integrated inclusive cross section $\ensuremath…
The complete experiment for photoproduction of pseudoscalar mesons in a truncated partial wave analysis
2013
The complete experiment problem in the truncated partial wave analysis of pseudoscalar meson photoproduction with suppressed t-channel exchanges is investigated. The focus is set to ambiguities of the group S observables with the unpolarized differential cross section, $\sigma_0$, and the three single-spin observables, $\Sigma$, $T$ and $P$. For this purpose, the approach and formalism already worked out by Omelaenko in 1981 is revisited in this work. A numerical study using multipoles of the PWA solution MAID2007 shows how only one additional double polarization observable can resolve all ambiguities. Therefore, the possibility emerges to perform a complete experiment with only five observ…
Soft-gluon resummation for boosted top-quark production at hadron colliders
2012
We investigate the production of highly energetic top-quark pairs at hadron colliders, focusing on the case where the invariant mass of the pair is much larger than the mass of the top quark. In particular, we set up a factorization formalism appropriate for describing the differential partonic cross section in the double soft and small-mass limit, and explain how to resum simultaneously logarithmic corrections arising from soft gluon emission and from the ratio of the pair-invariant mass to that of the top quark to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. We explore the implications of our results on approximate next-to-next-to-leading order formulas for the differential cross section…
Final State Interaction Effects in Incoherent Pion Photoproduction on the Deuteron
2003
In the present work [1] incoherent photoproduction of pions on the deuteron in the Δ(1232) resonance region is investigated where besides the impulse approximation (IA) complete two-body rescattering in the nucleon-nucleon (NN) and pion-nucleon (πN) final state subsystems is included (see Fig. 1). The elementary γN → πN amplitude including Born and Δ(1232) resonance contributions is taken from previous work of [2].
Regge phenomenology in π0 and η photoproduction
2017
The $\ensuremath{\gamma}N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}N$ and $\ensuremath{\gamma}N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\eta}N$ reactions at photon beam energies above 4 GeV are investigated within Regge models. The models include $t$-channel exchanges of vector ($\ensuremath{\rho}$ and $\ensuremath{\omega}$) and axial-vector (${b}_{1}$ and ${h}_{1}$) mesons. Moreover, Regge cuts of $\ensuremath{\rho}\mathbb{P},\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\rho}{f}_{2},\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\omega}\mathbb{P}$, and $\ensuremath{\omega}{f}_{2}$ are investigated. A good description of differential cross sections and polarization observables at photon beam energies fr…
Heavy-Flavor Contribution to Bhabha Scattering
2008
We evaluate the last missing piece of the two-loop QED corrections to the high-energy electron-positron scattering cross section originating from the vacuum polarization by heavy fermions. The calculation is performed within a new approach applicable to a wide class of perturbative problems with mass hierarchy. The result is crucial for the high-precision physics program at existing and future e(+) e(-) colliders.
Deuteron photodisintegration at low energies
1991
All presently available experimental data on deuteron photodisintegration below 40 MeV (i.e., total and differential cross sections, photon asymmetry and neutron polarization) are collected and carefully compared with the present status of the conventional theory (i.e., in the framework of mesontheoretical or semi-phenomenologicalN-N potentials including subnuclear degrees of freedom and relativistic corrections). No significant evidence for a failure of the conventional theory is found within the present experimental accuracy.
