Relations between polarization observables and complete sets for deuteron photodisintegration

1990

The polarization observables for deuteron photodisintegration are given as Hermitean forms of theT-matrix elementsti. By inversion we are able to express a given productti*tj in terms of polarization observables. This allows (i) to derive linear relations between observables for unpolarized, circularly and linearly polarized photons, (ii) to construct explicitly complete sets of polarization observables, and (iii) to derive quadratic relations between observables.

Polarization Effects in Electromagnetic Deuteron Break-Up

1992

Polarization observables of deuteron photo- and electrodisintegration with polarized photons and electrons, respectively, and oriented deuterons are investigated with respect to their sensitivity to subnuclear degrees of freedom and relativistic effects, to the different electric and magnetic multipole contributions, to various realistic potential models and — in electrodisintegration — to e.m. form factors.

Probing new physics in B¯0→D(*)τ−ν¯τ using the longitudinal, transverse, and normal polarization components of the tau lepton

2017

We study the longitudinal, transverse, and normal polarization components of the tau lepton in the decays ${\overline{B}}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{D}^{(*)}{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\tau}}$ and discuss their role in searching for new physics (NP) beyond the standard model (SM). Starting with a model-independent effective Hamiltonian including non-SM four-Fermi operators, we obtain experimental constraints on different NP scenarios and investigate their effects on the polarization observables. In the SM the longitudinal and transverse polarizations of the tau lepton differ substantially from the corresponding zero lepton mass values of $…

Semileptonic decaysΛc+→Λℓ+νℓ(ℓ=e,μ)in the covariant quark model and comparison with the new absolute branching fraction measurements of Belle and BES…

2016

We present precise theoretical predictions for the absolute branching fractions of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{c}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}{\ensuremath{\ell}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\ell}}(\ensuremath{\ell}=e,\ensuremath{\mu})$ decays in the covariant confined quark model. This study is motivated by two recent and accurate measurements of the absolute branching fractions of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{c}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{c}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}{e}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}$ by the Belle Collaboration at the KE…

Pion Photo- and Electroproduction on the Proton

1999

Using a unitary isobar model a new operator for pion photo- and electroproduction has been developed for nuclear applications at photon equivalent energies up to 1 GeV. The model contains Born terms, vector mesons and nucleon resonances (P 33(1232), P 11(1440), D 13(1520), S 11(1535), F 15(1680), and D 33(1700)). Within this model we have obtained good agreement with the experimental data for pion photo- and electroproduction on the nucleon for both differential cross sections and polarization observables.

Dispersion theoretical analysis of the nucleon spin polarizabilities

1999

The spin polarizabilities of the nucleon have been calculated from pion photoproduction data using forward dispersion relations. The feasibility of an experimental determination of these structure constants is discussed by focusing on polarization observables of the reaction \( \vec{\gamma }\vec{p} \to \gamma p \)→ γ p.

Polarization observables for elastic electron scattering off a moving nucleon

2019

General expressions for all parity-conserving polarization observables of elastic electron-nucleon scattering in the one-photon exchange approximation are derived for a general frame of reference, i.e.\ not assumming scattering off a nucleon at rest and not specializing to a specific system of coordinates. Essentially, the given expressions are also valid for the inverse process, i.e.\ nucleon scattering off electrons.

Role of pion exchange inηmeson photoproduction on the deuteron

2015

Incoherent $\ensuremath{\eta}$ photoproduction on the deuteron is studied, with the main emphasis on the role of final-state interactions. In addition to the previously studied mechanisms of $NN$ and $\ensuremath{\eta}N$ rescatterings, the role of an intermediate pion exchange is considered in detail, where first a pion is photoproduced on one nucleon and then rescatters into an $\ensuremath{\eta}$ meson on the other, the spectator nucleon. It is found that the role of this pion-mediated contribution is comparable in size to that of $\ensuremath{\eta}N$ rescattering. Results for total and semi-inclusive differential cross sections and associated polarization observables are presented. In pa…
