The measured energy dependence of the cross section at θc.m.=90° is in agreement with the constituent counting rules.Item Momentum transfer dependence of nuclear transparency from the quasielastic 12C(e,e’p) reaction(1994-03) Makins, N.C.R.; Ent, R.; Chapman, M.S.; Hansen, J.-O.; Lee, K.; Milner, R.G.; Nelson, J.; Bosted, P.E.; Keppel, C.E.; Lung, A.; Rock, S.E.; Spengos, M.; Szalata, Z.M.; Tao, L.H.; White, J.L.; Coulter, K.P.; Geesaman, D.F.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, H.E.; Papavassiliou, V.; Potterveld, D.H.; Zeidman, B.; Arrington, J.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, E.; Filippone, B.W.; Gao, H.; Lorenzon, W.; Mueller, B.; McKeown, R.D.; O'Neill, T.G.; Epstein, M.; Margaziotis, D.J.; Napolitano, J.; Anthony, P.L.; van Bibber, K.; Dietrich, F.S.; Gearhart, R.A.; Petratos, G.G.; Kuhn, S.E.The cross section for quasielastic 12C(e,e’p) scattering has been measured at momentum transfer Q2=1, 3, 5, and 6.8 (GeV/c)2. The results are consistent with scattering from a single nucleon as the dominant process. The nuclear transparency is obtained and compared with theoretical calculations that incorporate color transparency effects. No significant rise of the transparency with Q2 is observed.Item Evidence for virtual Compton scattering from the proton(1995-11) van der Brand, J.F.J.; Ent, R.; Anthony, P.L.; Arnold, R.G.; Arrington, J.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, J.E.; Bosted, P.E.; Bulten, H.-J.; Chapman, M.S.; Coulter, K.P.; Dietrich, F.S.; Epstein, M.; Filippone, B.W.; Gao, H.; Gearheat, R.A.; Geesaman, D.F.; Hansen, J.-O.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, H.E.; Jones, C.E.; Margaziotis, D.J.; McKeown, R.D.; Milner, R.G.; Mueller, B.; Napolitano, J.; Nelson, J.; Keppel, C.E.; Kinney, R.D.; Kuhn, S.; Lee, K.; Lorenzon, W.; Lung, A.; Makins, N.C.R.; O'Neill, T.G.; Papavassiliou, V.; Petratos, G.; Potterveld, D.H.; Rock, S.E.; Spengos, M.; Szalata, Z.M.; Tao, L.H.; van Bibber, K.; Wasson, D.A.; White, J.L.; Zeidman, B.In virtual Compton scattering an electron is scattered off a nucleon such that the nucleon emits a photon. We show that these events can be selected experimentally, and present the first evidence for virtual Compton scattering from the proton in data obtained at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The angular and energy dependence of the data is well described by a calculation that includes the coherent sum of electron and proton radiation.Item Recoil polarization measurements for neutral pion electroproduction at Q2=1(GeV/c)2 near the Δ resonance(2007-02) Kelly, J.J.; Gayou, O.; Roche, R.E.; Chai, Z.; Jones, M.K.; Sarty, A.J.; Frullani, S.; Aniol, K.; Beise, E.J.; Benmokhtar, F.; Bertozzi, W.; Boeglin, W.U.; Botto, T.; Brash, E.J.; Breuer, H.; Brown, E.; Burtin, E.; Calarco, J.R.; Cavata, C.; Chang, C.C.; Chant, N.S.; Chen, J.-P.; Coman, M.; Crovelli, D.; De Leo, R.; Dieterich, S.; Escoffier, S.; Fissum, K.G.; Garde, V.; Garibaldi, F.; Georgakopoulos, S.; Gilad, S.; Gilman, R.; Glashausser, C.; Hansen, J.-O.; Higinbotham, D.W.; Hotta, A.; Huber, G.M.; Ibrahim, H.; Iodice, M.; de Jager, C.W.; Jiang, X.; Kimenko, A.; Kozlov, A.; Kumbartzki, G.; Kuss, M.; Lagamba, L.; Laveissiere, G.; LeRose, J.J.; Lindgren, R.A.; Liyange, N.; Lolos, G.J.; Lourie, R.W.; Margaziotis, D.J.; Marie, F.; Markowitz, P.; McAleer, S.; Meekins, D.; Michaels, R.; Milbrath, B.D.; Mitchell, J.; Nappa, J.; Neyret, D.; Perdrisat, C.F.; Potokar, M.; Punjabi, V.A.; Pussieux, T.; Ransome, R.D.; Roos, P.G.; Rvachev, M.; Saha, A.; Sirca, S.; Suleiman, R.; Strauch, S.; Templon, J.A.; Todor, L.; Ulmer, P.E.; Urciuoli, G.M.; Weinstein, L.B.; Wijsooriya, K.; Wojtsekhowski, B.; Zheng, X.; Zhu, L.; Jefferson Laboratory E91011 and Hall A CollaborationsWe measured angular distributions of differential cross section, beam analyzing power, and recoil polarization for neutral pion electroproduction at Q2=1.0 (GeV/c)2 in 10 bins of 1.17⩽W⩽1.35 GeV across the Δ resonance. A total of 16 independent response functions were extracted, of which 12 were observed for the first time. Comparisons with recent model calculations show that response functions governed by real parts of interference products are determined relatively well near the physical mass, W=MΔ≈1.232 GeV, but the variation among models is large for response functions governed by imaginary parts, and for both types of response functions, the variation increases rapidly with W>MΔ. We performed a multipole analysis that adjusts suitable subsets of ℓπ⩽2 amplitudes with higher partial waves constrained by baseline models. This analysis provides both real and imaginary parts. The fitted multipole amplitudes are nearly model independent—there is very little sensitivity to the choice of baseline model or truncation scheme. By contrast, truncation errors in the traditional Legendre analysis of N→Δ quadrupole ratios are not negligible. Parabolic fits to the W dependence around MΔ for the multiple analysis gives values for Re(S1+/M1+)=(-6.61±0.18)% and Re(E1+/M1+)=(-2.87±0.19)% for the pπ0 channel at W=1.232 GeV and Q2=1.0 (GeV/c)2 that are distinctly larger than those from the Legendre analysis of the same data. Similarly, the multipole analysis gives Re(S0+/M1+)=(+7.1±0.8)% at W=1.232 GeV, consistent with recent models, while the traditional Legendre analysis gives the opposite sign because its truncation errors are quite severe.Item Measurement of the spin-dependent asymmetry in 3→(e→,e′) inelastic scattering at low energy transfer(1995-09) Arrington, J.; Beise, E.J.; Bray, B.; Carr, R.W.; Filippone, B.W.; Gao, H.; Lung, A.; McKeown, R.D.; Mueller, B.; Pitt, M.L.; DeSchepper, D.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Ent, R.; Farkhondeh, M.; Hansen, J.-O.; Korsch, W.; Kramer, L.H.; Lee, K.; Makins, N.C.R.; Milner, R.G.; Teiger, D.R.; Welch, T.P.; Candell, E.; Napolitano, J.; Tripp, C.; Wojtsekhowski, B.B.We present the results of a measurement of the spin-dependent asymmetry in 3→(e→,e′) inelastic scattering at kinematics on the low-energy transfer side of the quasielastic peak, including the region near the breakup threshold. Comparison with existing calculations based upon the plane wave impulse approximation shows significant deviation between the data and the model near the breakup threshold. Good agreement between data and theory is seen at higher energy transfer.Item Measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor from inclusive quasielastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized 3He(1994-08) Gao, A.; Arrington, J.; Beise, E.J.; Bray, B.; Carr, R.W.; Filippone, B.W.; Lung, A.; McKeown, R.D.; Mueller, B.; Pitt, M.L.; Jones, C.E.; DeSchepper, D.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Ent, R.; Farkhondeh, M.; Hansen, J.-O.; Korsch, W.; Kramer, L.H.; Lee, K.; Makins, N.; Milner, R.G.; Teiger, D.R.; Welch, T.P.; Candell, E.; Napolitano, J.; Wojtsekhowski, B.B.; Tripp, C.; Lorenzon, W.We report a measurement of the asymmetry in spin-dependent quasielastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from a polarized 3He target. The neutron magnetic form factor GMn has been extracted from the measured asymmetry based on recent PWIA calculations using spin-dependent spectral functions. Our determination of GMn at Q2=0.19 (GeV/c)2 agrees with the dipole parametrization. This experiment represents the first measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor using spin-dependent electron scattering.Item Nuclear transparency with the γn⃗π-p process in 4He(2003-08) Dutta, D.; Xiong, F.; Zhu, L.Y.; Arrington, J.; Averett, T.; Beise, E.; Calarco, J.; Chang, T.; Chen, J.P.; Chudakov, E.; Coman, M.; Clasie, B.; Crawford, C.; Dieterich, S.; Dohrmann, F.; Fissum, K.; Frullani, S.; Gao, H.; Gilman, R.; Glashausser, C.; Gomez, J.; Hafidi, K.; Hansen, J.-O.; Higinbotham, D.W.; Holt, R.J.; de Jager, C.W.; Jiang, X.; Kinnery, E.; Kramer, K.; Kumbartzki, G.; LeRose, J.; Liyanage, N.; Mack, D.; Markowitz, P.; McCormick, K.; Meziani, Z.-E.; Michaels, R.; Nanda, S.; Potterveld, D.; Ransome, R.; Reimer, P.E.; Reitz, B.; Saha, A.; Schulte, E.C.; Seely, J.; Sirca, S.; Strauch, S.; Sulkosky, V.; Vlahovic, B.; Weinstein, L.B.; Wijesooriya, K.; Williamson, C.F.; Wojtsekhowski, B.; Xiang, H.; Xu, W.; Zeng, J.; Zheng, X.; Jefferson Lab E94104 CollaborationWe have measured the nuclear transparency of the fundamental process γn⃗π-p in 4He. These measurements were performed at Jefferson Lab in the photon energy range of 1.6–4.5 GeV and at θcmπ=70° and 90°. These measurements are the first of their kind in the study of nuclear transparency in photoreactions. They also provide a benchmark test of Glauber calculations based on traditional models of nuclear physics. The transparency results suggest deviations from the traditional nuclear physics picture. The momentum transfer dependence of the measured nuclear transparency is consistent with Glauber calculations that include the quantum chromodynamics phenomenon of color transparency.Item Coherent π0 photoproduction on the deuteron up to 4 GeV(1999-09) Meekins, D.G.; 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.; Bochna, C.; 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.; Markowitz, P.; McFarlane, K.W.; McKeown, R.D.; 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, D.; Reinhold, J.; Rutt, P.M; Salgado, C.W.; Savage, G.; Segel, R.E.; Simicevic, N.; Stoler, P.; Suleiman, R.; Tang, L.; Terburg, B.P.; van Westrum, D.; Vulcan, W.F.; Williamson, S.E.; Witkowski, M.T.; Wood, S.A.; Yan, C.; Zeidman, B.The differential cross section for 2H(γ,d)π0 has been measured at deuteron center-of-mass angles of 90° and 136°. This work reports the first data for this reaction above a photon energy of 1 GeV, and permits a test of the apparent constituent counting rule and reduced nuclear amplitude behavior as observed in elastic ed scattering. Measurements were performed up to a photon energy of 4.0 GeV, and are in good agreement with previous lower energy measurements. Overall, the data are inconsistent with both constituent-counting rule and reduced nuclear amplitude predictions.Item Inclusive electron scattering from nuclei at x≃1(1996-05) Arrington, J.; Anthony, P.; Arnold, R.G.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, J.E.; Bosted, P.E.; Bulten, H.-J.; Chapman, M.S.; Coulter, K.P.; Dietrich, F.; Ent, R.; Epstein, M.; Filippone, B.W.; Gao, H.; Gearhart, R.A.; Geesaman, D.F.; Hansen, J.-O.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, H.E.; Jones, C.E.; Keppel, C.E.; Kinney, E.R.; Kuhn, S.; Lee, K.; Lorenzon, W.; Lung, A.; Makins, N.C.R.; Margaziotis, D.J.; McKeown, R.D.; Milner, R.G.; Mueller, B.; Napolitano, J.; Nelson, J.; O'Neill, T.G.; Papavassiliou, V.; Petratos, G.G.; Potterveld, D.H.; Rock, S.E.; Spengos, M.; Szalata, Z.M.; Tao, L.H.; van Bibber, K.; van den Brand, J.F.J.; White, J.L.; Winter, D.; Zeidman, B.The inclusive A(e,e′) cross section for x≃1 was measured on 2H, C, Fe, and Au for momentum transfers Q2 from 1 to 6.8 (GeV/c)2. The scaling behavior of the data was examined in the region of transition from y scaling to x scaling. Throughout this transitional region, the data exhibit ξ scaling, reminiscent of the Bloom-Gilman duality seen in free nucleon scattering.
