Measurement of R at VEPP-2000

The new e^＋e^- storage ring, VEPP-2000, is being commissioned at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk. Measurement of the total cross section e^＋e^- → hadrons in the whole VEPP-2000 energy range is one of the main goals of the new experiments. We discuss the goals of the measurement and the expected systematic errors.     

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 Q2 nπ＋ production better constrain the branching ratios liNK and [3Nn. For the first time, the longitudinal transition amplitude to the S11（1535） was extracted from the nπ＋ data. Also, new results on the transition amplitudes for the D13（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 Q2. I also discuss the status of the search for new excited nucleon states.     

Two-photon-exchange contribution to proton form factors in both space-like and time-like regions

The two two-photon exchange corrections to the unpolarized cross section and polarized observable PT, PL in elastic ep scattering are discussed in a simple hadronic model. Comparing with previous results, the △ contribution are re-analysed. And the similar corrections in e^＋e^- → pp are also discussed.     

Two-photon exchange properties in to proton electromagnetic time-like region

The contributions of two-photon exchange in the process e＋ ＋ e-→ p ＋ p including N and △ intermediate states are estimated in a simple hadronic model. The corrections to the unpolarized cross section as well as to the polarized observables Px and Px are evaluated. The results show the corrections to unpolarized cross section are small and the angle dependence becomes weak at small s after considering the N and △（1232） contributions simultaneously, while the correction to Px is enhanced.

Precise measurement of the e^＋e^- →π^＋π^-（γ） cross section with the initial state radiation method at BABAR

We present a precise BABAR measurement on the cross section of the process e^＋e^- →π^＋π^-（γ） from threshold to an energy of 3 GeV with the initial state radiation （ISR） technique, using 232 fb^-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at e^＋e^- center-of-mass energies near 10.58 GeV. The ISR luminosity is determined from a study of the leptonic process e^＋e^- →μ^＋μ^-γ（γ）. The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly calculated using the ππ cross section measured from threshold to 1.8 GeV is （514.1± 2.2（stat） ± 3.1（syst）） × 10^-10.     

BABAR measurement of baryon time-like form factors via initial state radiation

BABAR has measured with unprecedented accuracy the e^＋e^- → pp and e^＋e^- →∧∧ cross sections by means of the initial state radiation technique, which has the advantages of good efficiency, good energy resolution and full angular acceptance, even exactly at threshold. A peculiar feature of these cross sections is their non-vanishing values at threshold. In the case of charged baryons, this phenomenon is expected according to the Coulomb interaction between the outgoing baryon and antibaryon. Once this Coulomb enhancement factor is taken into account, the striking result is achieved that the proton form factor at threshold is ｜GP（4Mp^2）｜ = 1, that is what is expected for pointlike fermion pairs, in spite of the proton structure. However a Coulomb enhancement factor is not expected for neutral fermions, likely in contradiction with the BABAR data. Qualitatively this behaviour is consistent with Coulomb interactions at the valence quark level.     

Magnetic and electric properties of transition-metal doped wurtzite CdSe from first-principles calculation

s The geometrical structures of Cd0.75TM0.25Se （TM = Ti, V, Cr and Mn） are optimized, and then their electric and magnetic properties are investigated by performing first-principles calculations within the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation function based on density functional theory. Cd0.75TM0.25Se （TM =Ti and V） are found to have high spin-polarization near 100% at the Fermi level. Cd0.75TM0.25Se （TM = Cr and Mn） are half-metallic ferromagnets whose spin-polarization at the Fermi level is absolutely ＋100%. The supercell magnetic moments of Cd0.75Cr0.25Se and Cdo.75Mno.25Se are 4.00 and 5.00 μB, which arise mainly from Cr-ions and Mnions, respectively. The half-metallicity of Cdo.75Cro.25Se is more stable than that of Cd0.75Mn0.25Se. The electronic structures of Cr-ions and Mn-ions are Cr eg2↑t22g↑ and Mn e2 3 ↑t23g↑, respectively.     

Recent results of two-boson-exchange effects in the parity-violating elastic electron-proton scattering

The results of two-boson-exchange effects in the parity-violating elastic electron-proton scattering are reported based on a simple hadronic model. The corrections are calculated including the nucleon and △（1232） intermediate states. And the numerical results are also compared with the recent results reported by other group and other methods.     

Measurement of the pion form factor for Mππ^2 between 0.1 and 0.85 GeV2 with the KLOE detector

The KLOE experiment at the φ-factory DAФPNE has measured the pion form factor in the range between 0.1 〈 Mππ^2 〈 0.85 GeV^2 using events taken at √s = 1 GeV with a photon emitted at large polar angles in the initial state. This measurement extends the Mππ^2 region covered by KLOE ISR measurements of the pion form factor down to the two pion production threshold. The value obtained in this measurement of the dipion contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment of △αμ^ππ= （478.5±2-0stat±4.8syst±2.9theo）·10^-10 further confirms the discrepancy between the Standard Model evaluation for αμ and the experimental value measured by the （g-2） collaboration at BNL.     

Lattice results on nucleon/roper properties

In this proceeding, I review the attempts to calculate the Nucleon resonance (including Roper as first radially excited state of nucleon and other excited states) using lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The latest preliminary results from Hadron Spectrum Collaboration (HSC) with m_n≈380 MeV are reported. The Sachs electric form factor of the proton and neutron and their transition with the Roper at large Q~2 are also updated in this work.     

Measurements of the γγ＊ → π^0 and γγ＊ → ηc transition form factors at BABAR

We present measurements of the γγ＊ → π^0 transition form factor for the momentum transfer range Q^2=4-40 GeV^2 and the γγ＊ → ηc transition form factor for the range Q^2=2-50 GeV^2. The current status of measurements of the meson-photon transition form factors for the η and η＇ mesons is discussed. The results of the measurement of the ηc mass, total and two-photon widths are also presented.     

Baryon structure from Lattice QCD

We present recent lattice results on the baryon spectrum, nucleon electromagnetic and axial form factors, nucleon to △ transition form factors as well as the △ electromagnetic form factors. The masses of the low lying baryons and the nucleon form factors are calculated using two degenerate flavors of twisted mass fermions down to pion mass of about 270 MeV. We compare to the results of other collaborations. The nucleon to △ transition and △ form factors are calculated in a hybrid scheme, which uses staggered sea quarks and domain wall valence quarks. The dominant magnetic dipole nucleon to △ transition form factor is also evaluated using dynamical domain wall fermions. The momentum frame are extracted using the form factors transverse density distributions of the △ in the infinite determined from lattice QCD.

Time-like proton form factor measurement with PANDA

The electromagnetic probe is an excellent tool to investigate the structure of the nucleon. The nearly 4π detector PANDA, will allow to make a precise determination of the electromagnetic form factors of the proton in the time-like region with unprecedented precision. In the one-photon exchange approximation, the center of mass unpolarized differential cross section of the reaction pp → e＋e- is a linear combination of the squared moduli of the electric GE and magnetic GM proton form factors. The precise measurement of the angular distribution over almost full angular range then directly gives these quantities. At present only two experiments have provided the ratio R=｜ GE｜/｜GM｜ but with large statistical uncertainties. It is shown that with strict PID cuts and a kinematic fit, the dominant background, pp→π＋π-, can be supressed to much less than 1% of the signal, without affecting the extraction of the ratio R. PANDA will therefore offer a unique opportunity to measure the ratio with a precision ranging from 〈1% at low q2 up to 30 % for q2 = 14 （GeV/c）2.     

Nucleon form factors: the space-time connection

Analyticity of nucleon form factors allows to derive sum rules which, using space-like and time-like data as input, can give unique information about behaviors in energy regions not experimentally accessible. Taking advantage from new time-like data on proton-antiproton differential cross section and hence the possibility to separate electric and magnetic form factors also in the time-like region, we verify the consistency of the asymptotic behavior predicted by the perturbative QCD for the proton magnetic form factor.     

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.     

Recent results on nucleon resonance electrocouplings from the studies of π＋π-p electroproduction with the CLAS detector

Recent results on nucleon resonance studies in π＋π-p electro- production off protons with the CLAS detector are presented. The analysis of CLAS data allowed us to determine all essential contributiag mechanisms, providing a credible separation between resonant and non-resonant parts of the cross sections in a wide kinematical area of invariant masses of the final hadronic system 1.3 〈 W 〈 1.8 GeV and photon virtutualities 0.2 〈 Q2 〈 1.5 GeV2. Electrocouplings of several excited proton states with masses less than 1.8 GeV were obtained for the first time from the analysis of π＋π-p exclusive electroproduction channel.     

Single π0electro-production in the resonance region with CLAS＊

We report the analysis status of single π0electroproduction in the resonance region to study the electromagnetic excitation of the nucleon resonances. The study is aimed at understanding of the internal structure and dynamics of the nucleon. The experiment was performed using an unpolarized cryogenic hydrogen target and 2.0 and 5.8 GeV polarized electron beam during the ele and e1-6 run periods with CLAS at Jefferson Lab. The new measurements will produce a data base with high statistics and large kinematic coverage for the hadronic invariant mass （W） up to 2.0 CeV in the momentum transfer （Q2） range of 0.3--6.0 GeV2. Preliminary results will be presented and compared with the various model calculations.
