Phenomenological analysis of the CLAS data on double charged pion photo and electro- production
First comprehensive data on the evolution of nucleon resonance photocouplings
with photon virtuality Q^2 are presented for excited proton states in the mass
range from 1.4 to 2.0 GeV. N^* photocouplings were determined in
phenomenological analysis of CLAS data on 2 pi photo and electroproduction
within the framework of the JLAB-MSU phenomenological model.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures (encapsulated postscript
Nucleon Resonance Structure from CLAS and CLAS12 Experiments
The recent results on the photo- and electrocouplings extraction from the reaction of one- and two-pion photo- and electroproduction off protons in the resonances region are presented. The production of two charged pions is of particular importance for evaluation of the photocouplings for the Δ(1620)12 −, Δ(1700)32 −
A Raman Study of Morphotropic Phase Boundary in PbZr1-xTixO3 at low temperatures
Raman spectra of PbZr1-xTixO3 ceramics with titanium concentration varying
between 0.40 and 0.60 were measured at 7 K. By observing the
concentration-frequency dependence of vibrational modes, we identified the
boundaries among rhombohedral, monoclinic, and tetragonal ferroelectric phases.
The analysis of the spectra was made in the view of theory group analysis
making possible the assignment of some modes for the monoclinic phase.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Evidence for the Nucleon Resonance from Combined Studies of CLAS Photo- and Electroproduction Data
The analysis of the nine 1-fold differential cross sections for the
photo- and electroproduction reactions
obtained with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory was carried out with
the goal to establish the contributing resonances in the mass range from
1.6~GeV to 1.8~GeV. In order to describe the photo- and electroproduction data
with -independent resonance masses and hadronic decay widths in the
range below 1.5~GeV, it was found that an state is required
in addition to the already well-established nucleon resonances. This work
demonstrates that the combined studies of photo- and
electroproduction data are vital for the observation of this resonance. The
contributions from the state and the already established
state with a mass of 1.745~GeV are well separated by their
different hadronic decays to the and final states and the
different -evolution of their photo-/electroexcitation amplitudes. The
state is the first recently established baryon resonance for
which the results on the -evolution of the photo-/electrocouplings have
become available. These results are important for the exploration of the nature
of the ``missing'' baryon resonances.Comment: accepted for publication in Phys. Lett.
Measurement of the tensor Ayy and vector Ay analyzing powers of the deuteron inelastic scattering off berillium at 5.0 GeV/c and 178 mr
Tensor Ayy and vector Ay analyzing powers in the inelastic scattering of
deuterons with the momentum of 5.0 GeV/c on beryllium at an angle of 178 mr in
the vicinity of the excitation of baryonic resonances with masses up to
1.8 GeV/c^2 have been measured. The Ayy data are in a good agreement with the
previous data obtained at 4.5 and 5.5 GeV/c. The results of the experiment are
compared with the predictions of the plane wave impulse approximation and
\omega-meson exchange models.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figure
Structural Principles in Robo Activation and Auto-Inhibition
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier (Cell Press) via the DOI in this record.Proper brain function requires high-precision neuronal expansion and wiring, processes controlled by the transmembrane Roundabout (Robo) receptor family and their Slit ligands. Despite their great importance, the molecular mechanism by which Robos’ switch from “off” to “on” states remains unclear. Here, we report a 3.6 Å crystal structure of the intact human Robo2 ectodomain (domains D1–8). We demonstrate that Robo cis dimerization via D4 is conserved through hRobo1, 2, and 3 and the C. elegans homolog SAX-3 and is essential for SAX-3 function in vivo. The structure reveals two levels of auto-inhibition that prevent premature activation: (1) cis blocking of the D4 dimerization interface and (2) trans interactions between opposing Robo receptors that fasten the D4-blocked conformation. Complementary experiments in mouse primary neurons and C. elegans support the auto-inhibition model. These results suggest that Slit stimulation primarily drives the release of Robo auto-inhibition required for dimerization and activation.ICRFIS
Polarized Structure Function σ\u3csub\u3eLT\u27\u3c/sub\u3e from ⁰p Electroproduction Data in the Resonance Region at 0.2 GeV² \u3c Q² \u3c 1.0 GeV²
The first results on the σLT′ structure function in exclusive π0p electroproduction at invariant masses of the final state of 1.5GeV \u3c W \u3c 1.8 GeV and in the range of photon virtualities 0.4 GeV2 \u3c Q2 \u3c 1.0 GeV2 were obtained from data on beam spin asymmetries and differential cross sections measured with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. The Legendre moments determined from the σLT′ structure function have demonstrated sensitivity to the contributions from the nucleon resonances in the second and third resonance regions. These new data on the beam spin asymmetries in π0p electroproduction extend the opportunities for the extraction of the nucleon resonance electro-excitation amplitudes in the mass range above 1.6 GeV
Tensor Ayy and vector Ay analyzing powers in the H(d,d')X and ^{12}C(d,d')X reactons at initial deuteron momenta of 9 GeV/c in the region of baryonic resonances excitation
The angular dependence of the tensor Ayy and vector Ay analyzing powers in
the inelastic scattering of deuterons with a momentum of 9.0 GeV/c on hydrogen
and carbon have been measured. The range of measurements corresponds to the
baryonic resonance excitation with masses 2.2--2.6 GeV/c^2. The Ayy data being
in good agreement with the previous results demonstrate an approximate
scaling up to -1.5 (GeV/c)^2. The large values of A_y show a significant role
of the spin-dependent part of the elementary amplitude of the NN->NN* reaction.
The results of the experiment are compared with model predictions of the
plane-wave impulse approximation.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures. submitted to Yad.Fi
