Simulation studies on the polarized positron generation from circularly polarized gamma-rays

Polarized positrons can be generated through the electron-positron pair creation from circularly polarized gamma-rays hitting a conversion target. Laser-Compton scattering is an efficient method to generate circularly polarized gamma-rays. Simulation studies on these two processes have been done with the Monte Carlo codes, CAIN and GEANT4. Using CAIN to simulate the Laser-Compton scattering process, the energy spectrum of the generated polarized photons could be obtained. GEANT4 was used to study the yield, energy spectrum and the mean polarization of the positrons emanating from the conversion target. To increase the yield of the generated positrons, an optimization study on the thickness of conversion target was also performed.     

Photoproduction with polarized photons as a source of polarized gluon jets

We show that, according to QCD, the direct Compton process γq→qg in polarized photoproduction leads to strongly polarized gluon jets. We also show that this process is expected to dominate in the reaction γp→π⁺ + opposite side jet + X. The study of the opposite side jet will give direct evidence for the spin of the gluon.     

Natural shaping of the cylindrically polarized beams

We have experimentally and theoretically shown that the circularly polarized beam bearing a singly charged optical vortex propagating through a uniaxial crystal can be split after focusing into the radially and azimuthally polarized beams in the vicinity of the focal area provided that the polarization handedness and the vortex topological charge have opposite signs.     

Radiative effects in deep inelastic scattering of polarized leptons by polarized nucleons

Low-order electromagnetic corrections to deep inelastic scattering of polarized leptons by polarized nucleons are derived and investigated using a covariant method. Thorough numerical calculations of the corrections to cross sections and to the measured asymmetry are carried out for μp (ep) scattering in the range of lepton energy E = 200–500 GeV (10–16 GeV). The sensitivity of the corrections to the choice of the structure functions is investigated. The electromagnetic corrections to the asymmetry are found to be less than 10% within the greatest part of the kinematical region, but if x ～ 0, y ～ 1 they can reach a few tens of percent. The lowest order neutral current contribution to the asymmetry is obtained within the framework of standard electroweak interaction theory and the quark parton model. It is found this effect may be significant, especially in the kinematical range where electromagnetic corrections are negligible.     

Inclusive semileptonic decays of polarized Λb Baryons into polarized τ-leptons

We employ OPE techniques within HQET to calculate the inclusive semileptonic decays of polarized Λ_b baryons. Lepton mass effects are included which enables us to also discuss rates into polarized τ-leptons. We present explicit results for the longitudinal polarization of the τ in the Λ_b rest frame as well as in the (τ^?, v_τ) c.m. frame. In both the Λ_b rest frame and in the (τ^?, v_τ) c.m. frame we make use of novel calculational techniques which considerably simplify the calculations. The transverse polarization components of the τ are calculated in the (τ^?, v_τ) c.m. frame. We delineate how to measure the full set of 14 polarized and unpolarized structure functions of the decay process by angular correlation measurements. A set of observables are identified that allow one to isolate the contributions of the twoO(1/m _t ²) nonperturbative matrix elementsK _b and ε_b.     

Vector meson production by inelastic scattering of polarized electrons off polarized nucleons

A general analysis of vector meson production by inelastic scattering of polarized electrons (or muons) off polarized nucleons is presented. Cross section and vector meson decay angular distribution are discussed in terms of s-channel helicity amplitudes for natural and unnatural parity exchange. The question of experiments suitable for analyzing the more refined dynamical features of ?⁰-production is discussed in detail. Estimates are given for the effects to be expected from unnatural parity exchange.

VITESS polarized neutron suite: allows for the simulation of performance of any existing polarized neutron scattering instrument

As neutron simulations packages are used for analysis of the expected performance for practically all newly built neutron instruments, possibilities for simulations with polarized neutrons have been relatively underdeveloped.During the last years we developed a new approach for the representation of time-dependent magnetic fields (both in magnitude and direction) for the VITESS simulation package. This allowed us to simulate the neutron spin dynamics in practically all polarized neutron devices (RF neutron flipper, adiabatic gradient RF flipper, the Drabkin resonator, etc.). In this article the above-mentioned VITESS instrument components (modules) will be presented and the simulated performance of a number of polarized neutron scattering instruments (NRSE, MIEZE, SESANS, etc.) will be demonstrated.Thus, we practically complete the polarized neutron suite of the VITESS, which seems sufficient for the simulation of performance of any existing polarized neutron scattering instrument. Future work will be concentrated on developments of dedicated sample modules (kernels) to allow for virtual experiments with VITESS.     

Polarization correlation in the scattering of polarized nucleons

Experiments concerning the spin correlation tensorC _pqik in the scattering of polarized nucleons on polarized nucleons are discussed. Relativistic formulae are derived for the experimental quantities. The scattering matrix is directly reconstructed with the help of experimentally measured quantities. The components ofC _pqik are predicted for np-scattering at 630 MeV and are given on graphs.On leave from Faculty of Technical and Nuclear Physics, Czech Technical University, Behová 7, Praha 1, Czechoslovakia.On leave from Nuclear Research Institute, Czechosl.

Parity-nonconservation effects in the photodisintegration of polarized deuterons

P-odd correlations in deuteron photodisintegration are considered. It is shown that, in the case of unpolarized deuterons, π-meson exchanges do not contribute to these correlations. For polarized deuterons, the contribution of π-meson exchanges to the P-odd correlation is about 0.3×10^?8. The contribution to P-odd effects from weak interactions at short distances substantially exceeds the contribution from π-meson exchanges.

Shortened equations for the elliptically polarized wave

The field of an elliptically polarized wave is represented for the convenient solution of practical problems. The wave amplitude is written in terms of four parameters: magnitude E, phase φ, angle ψ of the polarization plane, and ellipticity ? (|?| is the ratio of the ellipse axes). The shortened equations are derived using these parameters and the solution of the shortened equations is obtained for a linear medium.     

Muon-pair formation in the collision of polarized hadrons

The angular dependence of the differential cross section of muon-pair formation in hadron-hadron collisions a₁+a₂+^–+X is investigated in general form, attention being directed mainly toward those contributions to the differential cross section which are determined by the vector polarization of the incident hadron a₁. The specific mechanism of processes a₁ + a₂ ⁺ + ^– +X is not given in detail here, but use is made of such general properties as the conservation of electromagnetic hadron current and the invariance of the electromagnetic interaction of hadrons with respect to spatial reflections.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 88–91, July, 1982.     

Lagrangian dynamics of polarized media

The dynamical equations associated with polarized media in equilibrium are derived from a standard action. This approach applies to arbitrary thermodynamical models of the medium and provides a systematical method for the computation of the total energy-stress tensor for the coupled system of matter and fields.Fellow of the Schweizerischer Nationalfonds.

Quasi-free scattering of polarized protons

Cross section and analyzing power, energy-sharing spectra have been measured for the ¹⁶O($\text{p}$, 2p) reaction at an incident energy of 200 MeV for twenty-four different pairs of angles of the detected final-state protons. This general survey is intended to test the validity of the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA), particularly with respect to the predicted j-dependent analyzing power caused by the distorting optical potentials and nuclear spin-orbit coupling. Although the data in general confirm this j-dependence, agreement in detail between DWIA calculations and the analyzing power data becomes worse as the momentum of the recoiling nucleus increases. Predictably, the cross-section calculations show more sensitivity to the optical-model parameters than do the analyzing powers. Within the present limits imposed by scanty elastic scattering data, there seems to remain a choice between predicted ($\text{p}$, 2p) cross sections which either are unreasonably large or which have the incorrect energy-sharing shapes. More comprehensive elastic scattering and total reaction cross section data are clearly needed.
