The role of N*(2120) nucleon resonance in KΛ(1520) photon and hadronic productions
2013
The associate $K\Lambda(1520)$ photon and hadronic production in the $\gamma p \to K^+\Lambda(1520)$, $p p \to p K^+ \Lambda(1520)$ and $\pi^- p \to K^0 \Lambda(1520)$ reactions are investigated within the effective Lagrangian approach and the isobar model. We are interested in the contribution from the $N^*(2120)$ (previously called $N^*(2080)$) resonance, which has a significant coupling to the $K\Lambda(1520)$ channel. The theoretical results show that the current experimental data for the $\gamma p \to K^+\Lambda(1520)$ reaction favor the existence of the $N^*(2120)$ resonance, and that these measurements can be used to further constrain its properties. We present results, including the…
Exclusive final state hadron observables from neutrino-nucleus multi-nucleon knockout
2020
We present results of an updated calculation of the 2p2h (two particle two hole) contribution to the neutrino-induced charge-current cross section. We provide also some exclusive observables, interesting from the point of view of experimental studies, e.g. distributions of momenta of the outgoing nucleons and of available energy, which we compare with the results obtained within the NEUT generator. We also compute, and separate from the total, the contributions of 3p3h mechanisms. Finally, we discuss the differences between the present results and previous implementations of the model in MC event-generators, done at the level of inclusive cross sections, which might significantly influence …
Latest Results for the Antikaon-Nucleon Optical Potential
2010
The key question of this letter is whether the K-nucleus optical potential is deep, as it is prefered by the phenomenological fits to kaonic atoms data, or shallow, as it comes out from unitary chiral model calculations. The current experimental situation is reviewed.
Maximal isospin few-body systems of nucleons and $\Xi$ hyperons
2016
By using local central Yukawa-type interactions that reproduce the low-energy parameters of the latest updates of the Nijmegen ESC08c potentials we show that the $N\Xi$, $NN\Xi$, $N\Xi\Xi$ and $NN\Xi\Xi$ systems with maximal isospin are bound. Since in these states the strong decay $N\Xi\to\Lambda\Lambda$ is forbidden by isospin conservation, these strange few-body systems will be stable under the strong interaction. These results may suggest that other states with different number of $N$'s and $\Xi$'s in the maximal isospin channel could also be bound.
New sum rule for the nuclear magnetic polarizability
2015
I extend the well-known photonuclear sum rule that relates the strength of the photoexcitation of the giant dipole resonance in a nucleus to the number of elementary scatterers-nucleons to the case of virtual photons. The new sum rule relates the size of the magnetic polarizability of a nucleus to the slope of the transverse virtual photoabsorption cross section integrated over the energy in the nuclear range. I check this sum rule for the deuteron where necessary data is available, discuss possible applications and connection with other sum rules postulated in the literature.
The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum rule and the constituent quark model
1993
The helicity structure function of the nucleon has been calculated for the constituent quark model and compared to the prediction of the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum rule. The multipole decomposition of the sum rule shows large cancellations between different resonances. The small isoscalar-isovector contribution is related to the admixture of aD-state (“bag deformation”) in the nucleon's wave function. The calculations indicate a relatively slow saturation of this part of the sum rule with excitation energy.
Double Pion Production Reactions
1999
We report on reactions producing two pions induced by real and virtual photons or nucleons. The role of different resonances in these reactions is emphasized. Novel results on coherent 2π photoproduction in nuclei are also reported.
The GDH experiment at MAMI
1999
Abstract The Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule connects the helicity dependent photoabsorption cross section with the anomalous magnetic moment of the nucleon. The GDH-collaboration is measuring the total cross section of circularly polarized photons with longitudinally polarized protons to check this sum rule experimentally to do a further progress in the investigation of the spin structure of the nucleon. The experiment has been started using the polarized electron beam of the Mainz electron accelerator MAMI in the energy range 200 – 800 MeV and will be continued at the Bonn accelerator ELSA up to an energy of about 3 GeV. We have finished the datav taking period at MAMI for the proton…
Recent result from the A2 collaboration at MAMI
2016
The A2 Collaboration at the Mainz Microtron MAMI is measuring photon absorption cross section using circularly and linearly polarized photons up to energies of 1.6 GeV. The photons are produced in the ‘Bremsstrahlungs’ process, the energy is determined by a dedicated tagging system. The Crystal Ball-TAPS detector system with its high capability to cope with multi photon final states is used to acquire data with a variety of nonpolarized and spin polarized targets. Physical goals are the investigation of the nucleons excitation spectrum via single and double meson photoproduction and in addition a detailed determination of meson decays in precision experiments. We have started a program to m…
Survey on polarization observables in deuteron photodisintegration below pion-production threshold
1991
Polarization observables of deuteron photodisintegration with polarized photons and oriented deuterons are systematically investigated below π-production threshold with respect to their sensitivity to subnuclear degrees of freedom and relativistic effects, to the different electric and magnetic multipole contributions, and to various realistic potential models. In particular, a complete survey on all single- and double-polarization observables like beam and target asymmetries of the differential cross section, nucleon polarization and proton-neutron spin correlation is given.
