Barkas effect with use of antiprotons and protons.
1989
The difference in the range of protons and antiprotons in matter, an example of the Barkas effect, is observed in a simple time-of-flight apparatus. The ranges of 5.9-MeV antiprotons and protons differ by about 6% in a degrader made predominantly of aluminum.
Energy loss measurement of protons in liquid water
2011
The proton stopping power of liquid water was, for the first time, measured in the energy range 4.7-15.2 MeV. The proton energies were determined by the time-of-flight transmission technique with the microchannel plate detectors, which were especially developed for timing applications. The results are compared to the literature values (from ICRU Report 49 (1993) and Janni's tabulation (1982 At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 27 147-339)) which are based on Bethe's formula and an agreement is found within the experimental uncertainty of 4.6%. Thus, earlier reported discrepancy between the experimental and literature stopping power values at lower energies was not observed at the energies considered …
Measurement of Long-Range Angular Correlation and Quadrupole Anisotropy of Pions and (Anti)Protons in Centrald+AuCollisions atsNN=200GeV
2015
We present azimuthal angular correlations between charged hadrons and energy deposited in calorimeter towers in central d+Au and minimum bias p+p collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The charged hadron is measured at midrapidity |η| 2.75 is observed in d+Au collisions. Using the event plane method applied to the Au-going energy distribution, we extract the anisotropy strength v_{2} for inclusive charged hadrons at midrapidity up to p_{T}=4.5 GeV/c. We also present the measurement of v_{2} for identified π^{±} and (anti)protons in central d+Au collisions, and observe a mass-ordering pattern similar to that seen in heavy-ion collisions. These results are compared with viscous hydrodynamic calc…
Isotopic distributions of thermal-neutron-induced fission fragments of near-symmetric fission of Pu239,241 determined using calorimetric low-temperat…
2021
Isotopic distributions were measured for the light fragment group in the transition region from asymmetric to symmetric fission for thermal neutron induced fission of $^{239}\mathrm{Pu}$ and $^{241}\mathrm{Pu}$ using the novel technology of calorimetric low temperature detectors in combination with the passive absorber method. Nuclear charge distributions were determined for 24 masses in the range $A=89$ to $A=112$ for $^{241}\mathrm{Pu}({n}_{\mathrm{th}},f)$ for the first time with the LOHENGRIN mass spectrometer. Moving from asymmetric to symmetric fission, known data were supplemented for masses from $A=110$ to $A=112$ for $^{241}\mathrm{Pu}({n}_{\mathrm{th}},f)$ and from $A=109$ to $A=1…
Two-photon exchange correction in elastic unpolarized electron-proton scattering at small momentum transfer
2015
We evaluate the two-photon exchange (TPE) correction to the unpolarized elastic electron-proton scattering at small momentum transfer $ Q^2 $. We account for the inelastic intermediate states approximating the double virtual Compton scattering by the unpolarized forward virtual Compton scattering. The unpolarized proton structure functions are used as input for the numerical evaluation of the inelastic contribution. Our calculation reproduces the leading terms in the $ Q^2 $ expansion of the TPE correction and goes beyond this approximation by keeping the full $ Q^2 $ dependence of the proton structure functions. In the range of small momentum transfer, our result is in good agreement with …
Experimental Check of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn Sum Rule for H1
2004
For the first time we checked the fundamental Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule for the proton experimentally in the photon energy range from 0.2-2.9 GeV with the tagged photon facilities at MAMI (Mainz) and ELSA (Bonn). New data of the doubly polarized total cross section difference are presented in the energy range from 1.6 to 2.9 GeV. The contribution to the GDH integral from 0.2-2.9 GeV yields [254+/-5(stat)+/-12(syst)] microb with negative contributions in the Regge regime at photon energies above 2.1 GeV. This trend supports the validity of the GDH sum rule.
Versatile High-Energy and Short-Pulse Operation of PHELIX
2009
PHELIX (Petawatt High Energy Laser for Heavy Ion Experiments) is a hybrid Ti:Sapphire / Nd:Glass laser system using large aperture amplifiers from the former Nova and Phebus laser systems at Livermore and Limeil, respectively, designed to offer pulse energies in access of 2 kJ and output power in the petawatt range. It is aiming mainly on combined experiments in plasma physics [2] and atomic physics [3] together with the GSI accelerator facility, and in preparation for the new FAIR facility for antiproton and ion research. Both nanosecond and sub-picosecond pulses can be supplied. Presently pulse energies up to 500 J are used, at pulse durations between 2 and 25 ns. Compressed pulses down t…
Magnetic moment of the Roper resonance
2012
The magnetic moment of the Roper resonance is calculated in the framework of a low-energy effective field theory of the strong interactions. A systematic power-counting procedure is implemented by applying the complex-mass scheme.
Light Ion Induced Reactions at Intermediate Energies
1995
We study the light ion induced reactions at intermediate energies theoretically. We show that (3He, t) reactions on unstable nuclei are useful tool to investigate the surface of the unstable nuclei and isospin dependence of the ∆ excitation mechanism in nuclei. We also show that (α, α′) reactions on proton target are interesting since we can observe Roper resonance excited by σ-meson exchange. In both cases we can get interesting results by making use of properties of the light ions.
σ→γγWidth from Nucleon Electromagnetic Polarizabilities
2008
The lightest QCD resonance, the $\ensuremath{\sigma}$, has been recently fixed in the $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ scattering amplitude. The nature of this state remains nowadays one of the most intriguing and difficult issues in particle physics. Its coupling to photons is crucial for discriminating its structure. We propose a new method that fixes this coupling using only available precise experimental data on the proton electromagnetic polarizabilities together with analyticity and unitarity. By taking into account the uncertainties in the analysis and in the parameter values, our result is ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{\mathrm{pole}}(\ensuremath{\sigma}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremat…
