K+核散射中的反阴影效应

核散射中罕见的反阴影效应在K~+介子与核的散射中出现了,1988～1990年BNL的系列实验确认了这一反常现象,然而,在核子层次上对此所作的各种理论解释几乎均告失败,因此人们不得不到夸克层次上寻找原因。 Unusual antishadowing appeared in K~+-nucleus scattering, which was reconfirmed byBrookhaven experiments in 1988～1991. Almost all of the conventional explanations of this effectat nucleon level are not successful. One has to search for new interpretations at quark level.     

Latest results from GRAAL collaboration

The GRAAL experimental set-up consists of a polarized and tagged photon beam that covers an energy range from a minimum of 600 MeV up to a maximum of 1500 MeV, of a liquid Hydrogen or Deuterium target and of the 4π Lagrange detector optimized for photon detection. It allows the study of pseudo-scalar and vector meson photoproduction on the nucleon in the energy range corresponding to the second and the third resonance regions. In the following, the Σ beam asymmetries in η and π~0 photoproduction on quasi-free nucleon are shown. Also single and double polarization observables in K~+A photoproduction on free proton are shown; they are important to confirm the role of new or poorly known resonances in the 1900 MeV mass region.     

The N~* physics program at Jefferson Lab

Recent measurements of nucleon resonance transition form factors with CLAS at Jefferson Lab are discussed. The new data confirm the assertion of the symmetric constituent quark model of the Roper as the first radial excitation of the nucleon. The data on high Q~2 nπ~+ production better constrain the branching ratios β_(Nπ) and β_(Nη). For the first time, the longitudinal transition amplitude to the S_(11)(1535) was extracted from the nπ~+ data. Also, new results on the transition amplitudes for the D_(13)(1520) resonance are presented showing a rapid transition from helicity 3/2 dominance seen at the real photon point to helicty 1/2 dominance at higher Q~2. I also discuss the status of the search for new excited nucleon states.     

Directed and elliptic flow in 197Au+197Au at intermediate energies

Directed and elliptic flow for the ¹⁹⁷Au+¹⁹⁷Au system at incident energies between 40 and 150 MeV per nucleon has been measured using the INDRA 4π multi-detector. For semi-central collisions, the excitation function of elliptic flow shows a transition from in-plane to out-of-plane emission at around 100 MeV per nucleon. The directed flow changes sign at a bombarding energy between 50 and 60 MeV per nucleon and remains negative at lower energies. Molecular dynamics calculations (CHIMERA) indicate sensitivity of the global squeeze-out transition on the σ _NN and demonstrate the importance of angular momentum conservation in transport codes at low energies.     

Kaon interferometry in heavy-ion collisions at the CERN SPS

K⁺K⁺ and K^–K^– correlations from S+Pb collisions at 200 GeV/c per nucleon and K⁺K⁺ correlations from p+Pb collisions at 450 GeV/c per nucleon, are presented as measured by the focusing spectrometer of the NA44 experiment at CERN. Multidimensional fits are performed in order to characterize the kaon-emission volume, which is found to be smaller than the pion-emission volume.     

Nuclear-rainbow scattering and nucleus-nucleus potentials at short distances

The elastic scattering of strongly bound nuclei at energies of 10 to 70 MeV per nucleon shows the phenomenon of “rainbow scattering.” A nuclear rainbow appears because of deflection to negative angles. This process involves a strong overlap of nuclear densities, with values of up to twice the saturation density of nuclear matter. The ¹⁶O+¹⁶O system is studied with a high precision over a wide energy range from 7 to 70 MeV per nucleon in several laboratories. Primary Airy maxima and higher order Airy structures are observed. At all energies, excellent fits are obtained with deep potentials as deduced from the double-folding model involving a nucleon-nucleon interaction weakly dependent on the density. It is shown that Pauli blocking expected at low energies is strongly reduced if the local momenta are calculated self-consistently. Systematics confirms a refractive origin of large-angle scattering, at low energies inclusive. Thus, nuclear-rainbow scattering yields unique information about the properties of cold nuclear matter at higher densities.     

Left-right asymmetry for meson production in SIDIS process

We analyze the left-right asymmetry in the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) process using a method where no weighting function are used. Considering all flavor of quarks, we reanalyze the π~± production and extend our calculation on the K~± production. The predictions on HERMES, COMPASS and JLab kinematics with transversely polarized nucleon target are shown in this paper.     

Form factor measurements with PANDA at FAIR

The high intensity and high energy antiproton beams which will be produced at FAIR open the possibility to determine time-like electromagnetic form factors in a wide kinematical range, through the annihilation reaction： p ＋ p → e^＋ ＋ e^-. The status of the proposed experiment as well as the expected results are presented on the basis of realistic simulations. The impact of these measurements on the understanding of the nucleon structure, of the asymptotic properties of form factors and of the reaction mechanism are discussed using model independent statements based on symmetry properties of the strong and electromagnetic interactions in connection with space-like data.     

Antikaon production and medium effects in proton-nucleus reactions at subthreshold beam energies

The inclusive K ^--meson production in proton-nucleus collisions in the subthreshold energy regime is analyzed in the framework of an appropriate folding model for incoherent primary proton-nucleon and secondary pion-nucleon production processes, which takes properly into account the struck target nucleon momentum and removal energy distribution (nucleon spectral function), novel elementary cross-sections for proton-nucleon reaction channel close to threshold as well as nuclear mean-field potential effects on the one-step and two-step antikaon creation processes. A detailed comparison of the model calculations of the K ^- differential cross-sections for the reactions p + ⁹Be and p + ⁶³Cu at subthreshold energies with the first experimental data obtained at the ITEP proton synchrotron is given, that displays both the relative role of the primary and secondary production channels at considered incident energies and the contributions to the K ^- production coming from the use of the single-particle part as well as high-momentum-energy part of the nucleon spectral function. It is found that the pion-nucleon production channel does not dominate in the subthreshold “hard” antikaon production in p ⁹Be-, p ⁶³Cu-collisions and the main contributions to the antikaon yields here come from the direct K ^- production mechanism. The influence of the nucleon, kaon and antikaon mean-field potentials on the K ^- yield is explored. It is shown that the effect of the nucleon mean-field is of importance in explaining the considered experimental data on “hard” antikaon production, whereas the K ⁺ and K ^- optical potentials play a minor role. The sensitivity of the subthreshold “soft” antikaon production in p ⁹Be-, p ¹²C-reactions to the nucleon, kaon and antikaon mean fields is studied. It is demonstrated that, contrary to the case of “hard” antikaon production, the K ^- potential has a very strong effect on the K ^- yield, which is greater than that from nucleon effective potential.

Yield ratios and directed flows of light fragments from reactions induced by neutron-rich nuclei at intermediate energy

The yield ratios of neutron/proton and ~3H/~3He and the directed flow per nucleon for these projectile-like fragments at large impact parameters are studied for ~(50)Ca + ~(40)Ca and ~(50)Cr + ~(40)Ca for comparison at 50 MeV/u using the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics(IQMD) model.It is found that the yield ratios and the directed flows per nucleon are different for reactions induced by the neutron-rich nucleus ~(50)Ca and the stable isobaric nucleus ~(50)Cr,and depend on the hardness of the EOS.The ratios of neutron/proton and ~3H/~3He and the difference of directed flow per nucleon of neutron-proton are suggested to be possible observables to investigate the isospin effects.     

Fragmentation Cross Sections of 12C on Different Targets at Beam Energies from 50 to 100MeV/Nucleon

The fragmentation cross sections of reactions ^12C＋^2H, ^12C, ^14N, ^16O at beam energies from 50 to 100 MeV/nucleon are investigated using the isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Langevin equation model. It is found that fragment species increase approximately with the increasing target mass. The fragment species and some fragments production cross sections in reactions of ^12C＋^12C, ^14N, ^16O show an obvious variation at the beam energies from 50 to 80 MeV/nucleon. However the calculated fragment production cross sections do not change much when the incident energy increases from 80 to 100 MeV/nucleon.     

Light charged particle emission in40Ar induced reactions on68Zn at 14.6, 19.6 and 35 MeV/nucleon

The light charged particles emitted in the⁴⁰Ar+⁶⁸Zn reaction performed at 14.6, 19.6 and 35 MeV/nucleon have been studied inclusively. The energy spectra have been analysed in terms of preequilibrium emission, moving source and coalescence models. A complete coherence between the present data and those obtained separately from heavy fragment studies is achieved. These data are consistent with the onset of projectile fragmentation between 20 and 35 MeV/nucleon correlated with the formation of a highly excited region of the nuclear system inducing light particle emission. The other sources of light particles can be interpreted as statistical and sequential decay of the quasi projectile.

Dielectron production in 12C+12C collisions at 2A GeV with the HADES spectrometer

The invariant-mass spectrum of e+e- pairs produced in 12C+12C collisions at an incident energy of 2 GeV per nucleon has been measured for the first time. The measured pair production probabilities span over 5 orders of magnitude from the pi(0)-Dalitz to the rho/omega invariant-mass region. Dalitz decays of pi(0) and eta account for all the yield up to 0.15 GeV/c(2), but for only about 50% above this mass. A comparison with model calculations shows that the excess pair yield is likely due to baryon-resonance and vector-meson decays. Transport calculations based on vacuum spectral functions fail, however, to describe the entire mass region.     

Open heavy flavor production from light ion collisions at RHIC

PHENIX measures leptons at mid and forward rapidities and extracts leptons resulting from semi-leptonic decays of heavy quarks. We present PHENIX results related to heavy quark production, specifically the invariant cross section of the non-photonic single electrons produced at midrapidity in p+p and d+Au collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 200$ GeV. The measured cross section for p+p collisions is compared with the NLO prediction, and a possible excess over the prediction is noted. The measured cross section for d+Au collisions scales with the number of colliding nucleon pairs from the p+p spectra.
