Survey of A_LT' asymmetries in semi-exclusive electron scattering on He4 and C12
Single spin azimuthal asymmetries A_LT' were measured at Jefferson Lab using
2.2 and 4.4 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons incident on He4 and C12
targets in the CLAS detector. A_LT' is related to the imaginary part of the
longitudinal-transverse interference and in quasifree nucleon knockout it
provides an unambiguous signature for final state interactions (FSI).
Experimental values of A_LT' were found to be below 5%, typically |A_LT'| < 3%
for data with good statistical precision. Optical Model in Eikonal
Approximation (OMEA) and Relativistic Multiple-Scattering Glauber Approximation
(RMSGA) calculations are shown to be consistent with the measured asymmetries.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
Photodisintegration of He into p+t
The two-body photodisintegration of He into a proton and a triton has
been studied using the CEBAF Large-Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson
Laboratory. Real photons produced with the Hall-B bremsstrahlung-tagging system
in the energy range from 0.35 to 1.55 GeV were incident on a liquid He
target. This is the first measurement of the photodisintegration of He
above 0.4 GeV. The differential cross sections for the He
reaction have been measured as a function of photon-beam energy and
proton-scattering angle, and are compared with the latest model calculations by
J.-M. Laget. At 0.6-1.2 GeV, our data are in good agreement only with the
calculations that include three-body mechanisms, thus confirming their
importance. These results reinforce the conclusion of our previous study of the
three-body breakup of He that demonstrated the great importance of
three-body mechanisms in the energy region 0.5-0.8 GeV .Comment: 13 pages submitted in one tgz file containing 2 tex file and 22

photoproduction on the proton for photon energies from 0.675 to 2.875 GeV
Differential cross sections for the reaction have been
measured with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) and a tagged
photon beam with energies from 0.675 to 2.875 GeV. The results reported here
possess greater accuracy in the absolute normalization than previous
measurements. They disagree with recent CB-ELSA measurements for the process at
forward scattering angles. Agreement with the SAID and MAID fits is found below
1 GeV. The present set of cross sections has been incorporated into the SAID
database, and exploratory fits have been extended to 3 GeV. Resonance couplings
have been extracted and compared to previous determinations.Comment: 18 pages, 48 figure
Exclusive electroproduction on the proton at CLAS
The reaction has been measured, using the 5.754
GeV electron beam of Jefferson Lab and the CLAS detector. This represents the
largest ever set of data for this reaction in the valence region. Integrated
and differential cross sections are presented. The , and
dependences of the cross section are compared to theoretical calculations based
on -channel meson-exchange Regge theory on the one hand and on quark handbag
diagrams related to Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) on the other hand.
The Regge approach can describe at the 30% level most of the features
of the present data while the two GPD calculations that are presented in this
article which succesfully reproduce the high energy data strongly underestimate
the present data. The question is then raised whether this discrepancy
originates from an incomplete or inexact way of modelling the GPDs or the
associated hard scattering amplitude or whether the GPD formalism is simply
inapplicable in this region due to higher-twists contributions, incalculable at
present.Comment: 29 pages, 29 figure
First Measurement of Beam-Recoil Observables Cx and Cz in Hyperon Photoproduction
Spin transfer from circularly polarized real photons to recoiling hyperons
has been measured for the reactions and
. The data were obtained using the CLAS
detector at Jefferson Lab for center-of-mass energies between 1.6 and 2.53
GeV, and for . For the , the
polarization transfer coefficient along the photon momentum axis, , was
found to be near unity for a wide range of energy and kaon production angles.
The associated transverse polarization coefficient, , is smaller than
by a roughly constant difference of unity. Most significantly, the {\it
total} polarization vector, including the induced polarization ,
has magnitude consistent with unity at all measured energies and production
angles when the beam is fully polarized. For the this simple
phenomenology does not hold. All existing hadrodynamic models are in poor
agreement with these results.Comment: 28 pages, 18 figures, Submitted to Physical Review

Measurement of Beam-Spin Asymmetries for Deep Inelastic Electroproduction
We report the first evidence for a non-zero beam-spin azimuthal asymmetry in
the electroproduction of positive pions in the deep-inelastic region. Data have
been obtained using a polarized electron beam of 4.3 GeV with the CLAS detector
at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab). The amplitude of
the modulation increases with the momentum of the pion relative to
the virtual photon, , with an average amplitude of for range.Comment: 5 pages, RevTEX4, 3 figures, 2 table
