Item Strange-Quark Contributions to Parity-Violating Asymmetries in the Forward G0 Electron-Proton Scattering Experiment(American Physical Society, 2005-08-26) Armstrong, D.S.; Arvieux, J.; Asaturyan, R.; Averett, T.; Bailey, S.L.; Batigne, G.; Beck, D.H.; Beise, E.J.; Benesch, J.; Bimbot, L.; Birchall, J.; Korsch, W.; Kox, S.; Kuhn, J.; Lachniet, J.; Lee, L.; Lenoble, J.; Liatard, E.; Liu, J.; Loupias, B.; G0 Collaboration; Lung, A.; MacLachlan, G.A.; Marchand, D.; Martin, J.W.; McFarlane, K.W.; McKee, D.W.; McKeown, R.D.; Merchez, F.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Moffit, B.; Morlet, M.; Nakagawa, I.; Nakahara, K.; Nakos, M.; Neveling, R.; Niccolai, S.; Ong, S.; Page, S.; Papavassiliou, V.; Pate, S.F.; Phillips, S.K.; Pitt, M.L.; Poelker, M.; Porcelli, T.A.; Quemener, G.; Quinn, B.; Ramsay, W.D.; Rauf, A.W.; Real, J.-S.; Roche, J.; Roos, P.; Rutledge, G.A.; Secrest, J.; Simicevic, N.; Smith, G.R.; Spayde, D.T.; Stepanyan, S.; Stutzman, M.; Sulkosky, V.; Tadevosyan, V.; Tieulent, R.; van de Wiele, J.; van Oers, W.; Voutier, E.; G0 Collaboration; Vulcan, W.; Warren, G.; Wells, S.P.; Williamson, S.E.; Wood, S.A.; Yan, C.; Yun, J.; Zeps, V.; Biselli, A.; Bosted, P.; Boukobza, E.; Breuer, H.; Carlini, R.; Carr, R.; Chant, N.; Chao, Y.-C.; Chattopadhyay, S.; Clark, R.; Covrig, S.; Cowley, A.; Dale, D.; Davis, C.; Falk, W.; Finn, J.M.; Forest, T.; Franklin, G.; Furget, C.; Gaskell, D.; Grames, J.; Griffioen, K.A.; Grimm, K.; Guillon, B.; Guler, H.; Hannelius, L.; Hasty, R.; Hawthorne Allen, A.; Horn, T.; Johnston, K.; Jones, M.; Kammel, P.; Kazimi, R.; King, P.M.; Kolarkar, A.; Korkmaz, E.We have measured parity-violating asymmetries in elastic electron-proton scattering over the range of momentum transfers 0.12≤Q2≤1.0 GeV2. These asymmetries, arising from interference of the electromagnetic and neutral weak interactions, are sensitive to strange-quark contributions to the currents of the proton. The measurements were made at Jefferson Laboratory using a toroidal spectrometer to detect the recoiling protons from a liquid hydrogen target. The results indicate nonzero, Q2 dependent, strange-quark contributions and provide new information beyond that obtained in previous experiments.Item Longitudinal Electroproduction of Charged Pions from 1H, 2H, and 3He(American Physical Society, 2001-11-12) Gaskell, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Ambrozewicz, P.; Anklin, H.; Arrington, J.; Assamagan, K.; Avery, S.; Bailey, K.; Baker, O.K.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, B.; Breuer, H.; Brown, D.S.; Carlini, R.; Cha, J.; Chant, N.; Cowley, A.; Danagoulian, S.; DeSchepper, D.; Dunne, J.; Dutta, D.; Ent, R.; Gan, L.; Gasparian, A.; Geesaman, D.F.; Gilman, R.; Glashausser, C.; Gueye, P.; Harvey, M.; Hashimoto, O.; Hinton, W.; Hofman, G.; Jackson, C.; Jackson, H.E.; Keppel, C.; Kinney, E.; Koltenuk, D.; Kyle, G.; Lung, A.; Mack, D.; McKee, D.; Mitchell, J.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Mueller, B.; Niculescu, G.; Niculescu, I.; O'Neill, T.G.; Papavassiliou, V.; Potterveld, D.; Reinhold, J.; Roos, P.; Sawafta, R.; Segel, R.; Stepanyan, S.; Tadevosyan, V.; Takahashi, T.; Tang, L.; Terburg, B.; van Westrum, D.; Volmer, J.; Welch, T.P.; Wood, S.; Yuan, L.; Zeidman, B.; Zihlmann, B.Separated longitudinal and transverse cross sections for charged pion electroproduction from 1H, 2H, and 3He were measured at Q2 = 0.4(GeV/c)2 for two values of the invariant mass, W = 1.15GeV and W = 1.60GeV, in a search for a mass dependence which would signal the effect of nuclear pions. This is the first such study that includes recoil momenta significantly above the Fermi surface. The longitudinal cross section, if dominated by the pion-pole process, should be sensitive to nuclear pion currents. Comparisons of the longitudinal cross section target ratios to a quasifree calculation reveal a significant suppression in 3He at W = 1.60GeV. The W = 1.15GeV results are consistent with simple estimates of the effect of nuclear pion currents, but are also consistent with pure quasifree production.Item Measurement of Tensor Polarization in Elastic Electron-Deuteron Scattering at Large Momentum Transfer(American Physical Society, 2000-05-29) Abbott, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Anklin, H.; Arvieux, J.; Ball, J.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, E.J.; Bimbot, L.; Boeglin, W.; Breuer, H.; Brindza, P.; Carlini, R.; Chant, N.S.; Danagoulian, S.; Dow, K.; Ducret, J.-E.; Dunne, J.; Ewell, L.; Eyraud, L.; Furget, C.; Garcon, M.; Gilman, R.; Glashausser, C.; Gueye, P.; Gustafsson, K.; Hafidi, K.; Honegger, A.; Jourdan, J.; Kox, S.; Kumbartzki, G.; Lu, L.; Mack, D.; Markowitz, P.; McIntyre, J.; Meekins, D.; Merchez, F.; Mitchell, J.; Mohring, R.; Mtingwa, S.; Mrktchyan, H.; Pitz, D.; Qin, L.; Ransome, R.D.; Real, J.-S.; Roos, P.G.; Rutt, P.; Sawafta, R.; Stepanyan, S.; Tieulent, R.; Tomasi-Gustafsson, E.; Turchinetz, W.; Vansyoc, K.; Volmer, J.; Voutier, E.; Vulcan, W.; Williamson, C.; Wood, S.A.; Yan, C.; Zhao, J.; Zhao, W.; Lung, A.; Jefferson Lab t20 CollaborationTensor polarization observables ( t20, t21, and t22) have been measured in elastic electron-deuteron scattering for six values of momentum transfer between 0.66 and 1.7(GeV/c)2. The experiment was performed at the Jefferson Laboratory in Hall C using the electron High Momentum Spectrometer, a specially designed deuteron magnetic channel and the recoil deuteron polarimeter POLDER. The new data determine to much larger Q2 the deuteron charge form factors GC and GQ. They are in good agreement with relativistic calculations and disagree with perturbative QCD predictions.Item Parity Violation in Elastic Electron-Proton Scattering and the Proton's Strange Magnetic Form Factor(American Physical Society, 2000-02-07) Spayde, D.T.; Averett, T.; Barkhuff, D.; Beck, D.H.; Beise, E.J.; Benson, C.; Breuer, H.; Carr, R.; Covrig, S.; DelCorso, J.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Eppstein, C.; Farkhondeh, M.; Filippone, B.W.; Frazier, P.; Hasty, R.; Ito, T.M.; Jones, C.E.; Korsch, W.; Kowalski, S.; Lee, P.; Maneva, E.; McCarty, K.; McKeown, R.D.; Mikell, J.; Mueller, B.; Naik, P.; Pitt, M.; Ritter, J.; Savu, V.; Sullivan, M.; Tieulent, R.; Tsentalovich, E.; Wells, S.P.; Yang, B.; Zwart, T.; SAMPLE CollaborationWe report a new measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron scattering from the proton at backward scattering angles. This asymmetry is sensitive to the strange magnetic form factor of the proton as well as electroweak axial radiative corrections. The new measurement of A = -4.92±0.61±0.73ppm provides a significant constraint on these quantities. The implications for the strange magnetic form factor are discussed in the context of theoretical estimates for the axial corrections.Item Precise Measurement of the Deuteron Elastic Structure Function A(Q2)(American Physical Society, 1999-02-15) Abbott, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Anklin, H.; Arvieux, J.; Ball, J.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, E.J.; Bimbot, L.; Boeglin, W.; Breuer, H.; Carlini, R.; Chant, N.S.; Danagoulian, S.; Dow, K.; Ducret, J.-E.; Dunne, J.; Ent, R.; Ewell, L.; Eyraud, L.; Furget, C.; Garcon, M.; Gilman, R.; Glashausser, C.; Gueye, P.; Gustafsson, K.; Hafidi, K.; Honegger, A.; Jourdan, J.; Kox, S.; Kumbartzki, G.; Lu, L.; Lung, A.; Mack, D.; Markowitz, P.; McIntyre, J.; Meekins, D.; Merchez, F.; Mitchell, J.; Mohring, R.; Mtingwa, S.; Mrktchyan, H.; Pitz, D.; Qin, L.; Ransome, R.; Real, J.-S.; Roos, P.G.; Rutt, P.; Sawafta, R.; Stepanyan, S.; Tieulent, R.; Tomasi-Gustafsson, E.; Turchinetz, W.; Vansyoc, K.; Volmer, J.; Voutier, E.; Vulcan, W.; Williamson, C.; Wood, S.A.; Yan, C.; Zhao, J.; Zhao, W.; The Jefferson Lab t20 CollaborationThe A(Q2) structure function in elastic electron-deuteron scattering was measured at six momentum transfers Q2 between 0.66 and 1.80(GeV/c)2 in Hall C at Jefferson Laboratory. The scattered electrons and recoil deuterons were detected in coincidence, at a fixed deuteron angle of 60.5°. These new precise measurements resolve discrepancies between older sets of data. They put significant constraints on existing models of the deuteron electromagnetic structure, and on the strength of isoscalar meson exchange currents.Item Measurements of Deuteron Photodisintegration up to 4.0 GeV(American Physical Society, 1998-11-23) Bochna, C.; Terburg, B.P.; Abbott, D.J.; Ahmidouch, A.; Armstrong, C.S.; Arrington, J.; Assamagan, K.A.; Baker, O.K.; Barrow, S.P.; Beatty, D.P.; Beck, D.H.; Beedoe, S.Y.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, J.E.; Bosted, P.E.; Brash, E.J.; Breuer, H.; Cadman, R.V.; Cardman, L.; Carlini, R.D.; Cha, J.; Chant, N.S.; Collins, G.; Cothran, C.; Cummings, W.J.; Danagoulian, S.; Duncan, F.A.; Dunne, J.A.; Dutta, D.; Eden, T.; Ent, R.; Filippone, B.W.; Forest, T.A.; Fortune, H.T.; Frolov, V.V.; Gao, H.; Geesaman, D.F.; Gilman, R.; Gueye, P.L.J.; Gustafsson, K.K.; Hansen, J.-O.; Harvey, M.; Hinton, W.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, H.E.; Keppel, C.E.; Khandaker, M.A.; Kinney, E.R.; Klein, A.; Koltenuk, D.M.; Kumbartzki, G.; Lung, A.F.; Mack, D.J.; Madey, R.; Markwoitz, P.; McFarlane, K.W.; McKeown, R.D.; Meekins, D.G.; Meziani, Z.-E.; Miller, M.A.; Mitchell, J.H.; Mkrtchyan, H.G.; Mohring, R.M.; Napolitano, J.; Nathan, A.M.; Niculescu, G.; Niculescu, I.; O'Neill, T.G.; Owen, B.R.; Pate, S.F.; Potterveld, D.H.; Price, J.W.; Rakness, G.L.; Ransome, R.; Reinhold, J.; Rutt, P.M.; Salgado, C.W.; Savage, G.; Segel, R.; Simicevic, N.; Stoler, P.; Suleiman, R.; Tang, L.; van Westrum, D.; Vulcan, W.F.; Williamson, S.; Witkowski, M.T.; Wood, S.A.; Yan, C.; Zeidman, B.The first measurements of the differential cross section for the d(γ,p)n reaction up to 4.0 GeV were performed at the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Thomas Jefferson Laboratory. We report the cross sections at the proton center-of-mass angles of 36°, 52°, 69°, and 89°. These results are in reasonable agreement with previous measurements at lower energy. The 89° and 69° data show constituent-counting-rule behavior up to 4.0 GeV photon energy. The 52° and 36° data disagree with the counting-rule behavior. The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) model of nuclear reactions involving reduced amplitudes disagrees with the present data.Item Longitudinal and Transverse Cross Sections in the 1H(e,e′K+)Λ Reaction(American Physical Society, 1998-08-31) Niculsescu, G.; Mohring, R.M.; Gueye, P.; Abbott, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Amatuni, Ts.A.; Ambrozewicz, P.; Angelescu, T.; Armstrong, C.S.; Assamagan, K.; Avery, S.; Bailey, K.; Baker, O.K.; Beard, K.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, E.; Breuer, H.; Carlini, R.; Cha, J.; Chang, C.C.; Chant, N.; Cisbani, E.; Collins, G.; Cummings, W.; Danagoulian, S.; DeLeo, R.; Duncan, F.; Dunne, J.; Dutta, D.; Eden, T.; Ent, R.; Eyraud, L.; Ewell, L.; Finn, M.; Fortune, T.; Frolov, V.; Frullani, S.; Furget, C.; Garibaldi, F.; Gaskell, D.; Geesaman, D.F.; Gustafsson, K.K.; Hansen, J.-O.; Harvey, M.; Hinton, W.; Hungerford, E.; Iodice, M.; Jackson, C.; Keppel, C.; Kim, W.; Kino, K.; Koltenuk, D.; Kox, S.; Kramer, L.; Leone, T.; Lolos, G.; Lung, A.; Mack, D.; Madey, R.; Maeda, M.; Majewski, S.; Markowitz, P.; Martoff, C.J.; Meekins, D.; Mihul, A.; Mitchell, J.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Mtingwa, S.; Niculescu, I.; Perrino, R.; Potterveld, D.; Price, J.W.; Raue, B.A.; Real, J.-S.; Reinhold, J.; Roos, P.; Saito, T.; Savage, G.; Sawafta, R.; Segel, R.; Stepanyan, S.; Stoler, P.; Tadevosian, V.; Tang, L.; Teodorescu, L.; Terasawa, T.; Tsubota, H.; Urciuoli, G.M.; Volmer, J.; Vulcan, W.; Welch, P.; Williams, R.; Wood, S.; Yan, C.; Zeidman, B.The 1H(e,e′K+)Λ reaction was studied as a function of the squared four-momentum transfer, Q2, and the virtual photon polarization, ɛ. For each of four Q2 settings, 0.52, 0.75, 1.00, and 2.00 (GeV/c)2, the longitudinal and transverse virtual photon cross sections were extracted in measurements at three virtual photon polarizations. The Q2 dependence of the σL/σT ratio differs significantly from current theoretical predictions. This, combined with the precision of the measurement, implies a need for revision of existing calculations.Item Transverse Beam Spin Asymmetries in Forward-Angle Elastic Electron-Proton Scattering(American Physical Society, 2007-07-31) Armstrong, D.S.; Arvieux, J.; Asaturyan, R.; Averett, T.; Bailey, S.L.; Batigne, G.; Beck, D.H.; Beise, E.J.; Benesch, J.; Bimbot, L.; Birchall, J.; Roche, J.; Roos, P.; Rutledge, G.A.; Secrest, J.; Simicevic, N.; Smith, G.R.; Spayde, D.T.; Stepanyan, S.; Stutzman, M.; Sulkosky, V.; Tadevosyan, V.; Tieulent, R.; Van de Wiele, J.; van Oers, W.T.H.; Voutier, E.; Vulcan, W.; Warren, G.; Wells, S.P.; Williamson, S.E.; Wood, S.A.; Yan, C.; Yun, J.; Zeps, V.; G0 Collaboration; Biselli, A.; Bosted, P.; Boukobza, E.; Breuer, H.; Carlini, R.; Carr, R.; Chant, N.; Chao, Y.-C.; Chattopadhyay, S.; Clark, R.; Covrig, S.; Cowley, A.; Dale, D.; Davis, C.; Falk, W.; Finn, J.M.; Forest, T.; Franklin, G.; Furget, C.; Gaskell, D.; Grames, J.; Griffioen, K.A.; Grimm, K.; Guillon, B.; Guler, H.; Hannelius, L.; Hasty, R.; Hawthorne Allen, A.; Horn, T.; Johnston, K.; Jones, M.; Kammel, P.; Kazimi, R.; King, P.M.; Kolarkar, A.; Korkmaz, E.; Korsch, W.; Kox, S.; Kuhn, J.; Lachniet, J.; Lee, L.; Lenoble, J.; Liatard, E.; Liu, J.; Loupias, B.; Lung, A.; Marchand, D.; Martin, J.W.; McFarlane, K.W.; McKee, D.W.; McKeown, R.D.; Merchez, F.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Moffit, B.; Morlet, M.; Nakagawa, I.; Nakahara, K.; Neveling, R.; Ong, S.; Page, S.; Papavassiliou, V.; Pate, S.F.; Phillips, S.K.; Pitt, M.L.; Poelker, M.; Porcelli, T.A.; Quéméner, G.; Quinn, B.; Ramsay, W.D.; Rauf, A.W.; Real, J.-S.We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry in elastic scattering of transversely polarized 3 GeV electrons from unpolarized protons at Q2=0.15, 0.25 (GeV/c)2. The results are inconsistent with calculations solely using the elastic nucleon intermediate state and generally agree with calculations with significant inelastic hadronic intermediate state contributions. An provides a direct probe of the imaginary component of the 2γ exchange amplitude, the complete description of which is important in the interpretation of data from precision electron-scattering experiments.Item Quasifree (e,e′p) Reactions and Proton Propagation in Nuclei(American Physical Society, 1998-06-08) Abbott, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Amatuni, Ts. A.; Armstrong, C.; Arrington, J.; Assamagan, K.A.; Bailey, K.; Baker, O.K.; Barrow, S.; Beard, K.; Beatty, D.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, E.; Belz, E.; Bochna, C.; Breuer, H.; Bruins, E.E.W.; Carlini, R.; Cha, J.; Chant, N.; Cothran, C.; Cummings, W.J.; Danagoulian, S.; Day, D.; DeSchepper, D.; Ducret, J.-E.; Duncan, F.; Dunne, J.; Dutta, D.; Eden, T.; Ent, R.; Fortune, H.T.; Frolov, V.; Geesaman, D.F.; Gao, H.; Gilman, R.; Gueye, P.; Hansen, J.O.; Hinton, W.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, C.; Jackson, H.E.; Jones, C.E.; Kaufman, S.; Kelly, J.J.; Keppel, C.; Khandaker, M.; Kim, W.; Kinney, E.; Klein, A.; Koltenuk, D.; Kramer, L.; Lorenzon, W.; McFarlane, K.; Mack, D.J.; Madey, R.; Markowitz, P.; Martin, J.; Mateos, A.; Meekins, D.; Miller, M.A.; Milner, R.; Mitchell, J.; Mohring, R.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Nathan, A.M.; Niculescu, G.; Niculescu, I.; O'Neill, T.G.; Potterveld, D.; Price, J.W.; Reinhold, J.; Salgado, C.; Schiffer, J.O.; Segel, R.E.; Stoler, P.; Suleiman, R.; Tadevosyan, V.; Tang, L.; Terburg, B.; van Westrum, D.; Welch, P.; Williamson, C.; Wood, S.; Yan, C.; Yang, Jae-Choon; Yu, J.; Zeidman, B.; Zhao, W.; Zihlmann, B.The ( e,e′p) reaction was studied on targets of C, Fe, and Au at momentum transfers squared Q2 of 0.6, 1.3, 1.8, and 3.3 GeV2 in a region of kinematics dominated by quasifree electron-proton scattering. Missing energy and missing momentum distributions are reasonably well described by plane wave impulse approximation calculations with Q2 and A dependent corrections that measure the attenuation of the final state protons.Item Determination of the Pion Charge Form Factor at Q2=1.60 and 2.45 (GeV/c)2(American Physical Society, 2006-11-10) Horn, D.T.; Aniol, K.; Arrington, J.; Barret, B.; Beise, E.J.; Blok, H.P.; Boeglin, W.; Brash, E.J.; Breuer, H.; Chang, C.C.; Christy, M.E.; Ent, R.; Gaskell, D.; Gibson, E.; Holt, R.J.; Huber, G.M.; Jin, S.; Jones, M.K.; Keppel, C.E.; Kim, W.; King, P.M.; Kovaltchouk, V.; Liu, J.; Lolos, G.J.; Mack, D.J.; Margaziotis, D.J.; Markowitz, P.; Matsumura, A.; Meekins, D.; Miyoshi, T.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Niculescu, I.; Okayasu, Y.; Pentchev, L.; Perdrisat, C.; Potterveld, D.; Punjabi, V.; Reimer, P.; Reinhold, J.; Roche, J.; Roos, P.G.; Sarty, A.; Smith, G.R.; Tadevosyan, V.; Tang, L.G.; Tvaskis, V.; Vidakovic, S.; Volmer, J.; Vulcan, W.; Warren, G.; Wood, S.A.; Xu, C.; X. Zheng, X.; Jefferson Lab F_{π} CollaborationThe 1H(e,e′π+)n cross section was measured at four-momentum transfers of Q2=1.60 and 2.45 GeV2 at an invariant mass of the photon nucleon system of W=2.22 GeV. The charged pion form factor (Fπ) was extracted from the data by comparing the separated longitudinal pion electroproduction cross section to a Regge model prediction in which Fπ is a free parameter. The results indicate that the pion form factor deviates from the charge-radius constrained monopole form at these values of Q2 by one sigma, but is still far from its perturbative quantum chromodynamics prediction.
