High-Efficiency Resonant RF Spin Rotator with Broad Phase Space Acceptance for Pulsed Polarized Cold Neutron Beams
We have developed a radio-frequency resonant spin rotator to reverse the
neutron polarization in a 9.5 cm x 9.5 cm pulsed cold neutron beam with high
efficiency over a broad cold neutron energy range. The effect of the spin
reversal by the rotator on the neutron beam phase space is compared
qualitatively to RF neutron spin flippers based on adiabatic fast passage. The
spin rotator does not change the kinetic energy of the neutrons and leaves the
neutron beam phase space unchanged to high precision. We discuss the design of
the spin rotator and describe two types of transmission-based neutron spin-flip
efficiency measurements where the neutron beam was both polarized and analyzed
by optically-polarized 3He neutron spin filters. The efficiency of the spin
rotator was measured to be 98.0+/-0.8% on resonance for neutron energies from
3.3 to 18.4 meV over the full phase space of the beam. As an example of the
application of this device to an experiment we describe the integration of the
RF spin rotator into an apparatus to search for the small parity-violating
asymmetry A_gamma in polarized cold neutron capture on para-hydrogen by the
NPDGamma collaboration at LANSCE
Measurement of the proton electric to magnetic form factor ratio from \vec ^1H(\vec e, e'p)
We report the first precision measurement of the proton electric to magnetic
form factor ratio from spin-dependent elastic scattering of longitudinally
polarized electrons from a polarized hydrogen internal gas target. The
measurement was performed at the MIT-Bates South Hall Ring over a range of
four-momentum transfer squared from 0.15 to 0.65 (GeV/c).
Significantly improved results on the proton electric and magnetic form factors
are obtained in combination with previous cross-section data on elastic
electron-proton scattering in the same region.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, submitted to PR
Qweak: A Precision Measurement of the Proton's Weak Charge
The Qweak experiment at Jefferson Lab aims to make a 4% measurement of the
parity-violating asymmetry in elastic scattering at very low of a
longitudinally polarized electron beam on a proton target. The experiment will
measure the weak charge of the proton, and thus the weak mixing angle at low
energy scale, providing a precision test of the Standard Model. Since the value
of the weak mixing angle is approximately 1/4, the weak charge of the proton
is suppressed in the Standard Model, making it
especially sensitive to the value of the mixing angle and also to possible new
physics. The experiment is approved to run at JLab, and the construction plan
calls for the hardware to be ready to install in Hall C in 2007. The
theoretical context of the experiment and the status of its design are
discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX2e, to be published in CIPANP 2003

Measurement of the Generalized Forward Spin Polarizabilities of the Neutron
The generalized forward spin polarizabilities and of
the neutron have been extracted for the first time in a range from 0.1 to
0.9 GeV. Since is sensitive to nucleon resonances and
is insensitive to the resonance, it is expected that the
pair of forward spin polarizabilities should provide benchmark tests of the
current understanding of the chiral dynamics of QCD. The new results on
show significant disagreement with Chiral Perturbation Theory
calculations, while the data for at low are in good agreement
with a next-to-lead order Relativistic Baryon Chiral Perturbation theory
calculation. The data show good agreement with the phenomenological MAID model.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, corrected typo in author name, published in PR
