Longitudinal-transverse separations of deep-inelastic structure functions at low Q2 for hydrogen and deuterium

We report on a study of the longitudinal to transverse cross section ratio, R=sigmaL/sigmaT, at low values of x and Q2, as determined from inclusive inelastic electron-hydrogen and electron-deuterium scattering data from Jefferson Laboratory Hall C spanning the four-momentum transfer range 0.06相似文献   

Determination of the pion charge form factor at Q2=1.60 and 2.45 (GeV/c)2

The 1H(e,e'pi+)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 (F(pi)) was extracted from the data by comparing the separated longitudinal pion electroproduction cross section to a Regge model prediction in which F(pi) 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.     

Measurement of the charged pion electromagnetic form factor

Separated longitudinal and transverse structure functions for the reaction 1H(e,e(')pi(+))n were measured in the momentum transfer region Q2 = 0.6--1.6 (GeV/c)(2) at a value of the invariant mass W = 1.95 GeV. New values for the pion charge form factor were extracted from the longitudinal cross section by using a recently developed Regge model. The results indicate that the pion form factor in this region is larger than previously assumed and is consistent with a monopole parametrization fitted to very low Q2 elastic data.     

Enhanced shape-selective recognition of anion guests through complexation-induced organization of porphyrin hosts

We present a fortuitous discovery of enhanced shape-selective recognition of anion guests that stems from a complexation-induced conformational change in porphyrin hosts upon anion binding. Porphyrin hosts reported here exist in a conformation that is not favorable to guest binding. Anions that bind strongly are those that can induce a conformational change in the host to allow guest binding. Furthermore, guests that mimic the shape of the newly formed pocket bind the strongest.     

The Third Generation (e,e′K~+) A Hypernuclear Spectroscopy at Jlab

We are now preparing for the third generation (e,e′K~+) A hypernuclear spectroscopic experiment at Hall C,Jefferson Lab (USA).The goal of the experiment is the precise spectroscopy of hypernuclei in wide mass region.We have constructed a new high resolution electron spectrometer "HES" dedicated to (e,e′K~+) hypernuclear study in Japan and it was shipped to JLab in February,2008.We will discuss about the physics of the (e,e′K~+) hypernuclear study at JLab and report the current preparation status of the third generatrion experiment.     

Correlated strength in the nuclear spectral function

We have carried out an (e,e'p) experiment at high momentum transfer and in parallel kinematics to measure the strength of the nuclear spectral function S(k,E) at high nucleon momenta k and large removal energies E. This strength is related to the presence of short-range and tensor correlations, and was known hitherto only indirectly and with considerable uncertainty from the lack of strength in the independent-particle region. This experiment locates by direct measurement the correlated strength predicted by theory.
