Source Functions in Bose-Einstein Correlations and Analyses of Data in S + Pb Reaction at 200 GeV/c

We consider several source functions in the Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) and show their interrelations between 4-dimensional and 3-dimensional configuration space. We use two frameworks, i.e., a conventional one and that of the laser optical (LO) approach. The data of the BEC by NA44 Collaboration are analysed by our formulae. It is found that the BEC expressed by the Gaussian distribution, an exponential function and power functions of Lorentzian show almost the same x² - values in both frameworks. From estimated values of the root mean square in the conventional formula, Rrms=√ ), the following physical picture is obtained: 1.2A^⅓_τ<Rrms(S+Pb at 200 GeV/c)<1.2(A^⅓_τ+ A^⅓_ρ), where A_τand A_ρare target and projectile masses.Article信州大学教養部紀要. 28: 259-267(1994)departmental bulletin pape

First Use of a Longitudinally Polarized Target with CLAS12

Run Group C comprises eight experiments utilizing the CLAS12 detector system in Hall B at Jefferson Lab to study the multidimensional partonic structure of nucleons. The experiments scatter electrons from polarized protons and neutrons in samples of solid NH3 and ND3, dynamically polarized at a temperature of 1 K in a 5 T magnetic field. After a brief description of the target system, the current status of the target and preliminary results of its performance in the experiment are presented

Spin-flipping a stored polarized proton beam with an rf dipole

Frequent polarization reversals, or spin-flips, of a stored polarized high-energy beam may greatly reduce systematic errors of spin asymmetry measurements in a scattering asymmetry experiment. We studied the spin-flipping of a 120 MeV horizontally-polarized proton beam stored in the IUCF Cooler Ring by ramping an rf-dipole magnet’s frequency through an rf-induced depolarizing resonance in the presence of a nearly-full Siberian snake. After optimizing the frequency ramp parameters, we used multiple spin-flips to measure a spin-flip efficiency of 86.5±0.5%.86.5±0.5%. The spin-flip efficiency was apparently limited by the rf-dipole’s field strength. This result indicates that an efficient spin-flipping a stored polarized beam should be possible in high energy rings such as RHIC and HERA where Siberian snakes are certainly needed and only dipole rf-flipper-magnets are practical. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87561/2/662_1.pd

Measurements of polarized photo-pion production on longitudinally polarized HD and Implications for Convergence of the GDH Integral

We report new measurements of inclusive pion production from frozen-spin HD for polarized photon beams covering the Delta(1232) resonance. These provide data simultaneously on both H and D with nearly complete angular distributions of the spin-difference cross sections entering the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule. Recent results from Mainz and Bonn exceed the GDH prediction for the proton by 22 microbarns, suggesting as yet unmeasured high-energy components. Our pi0 data reveal a different angular dependence than assumed in Mainz analyses and integrate to a value that is 18 microbarns lower, suggesting a more rapid convergence. Our results for deuterium are somewhat lower than published data, considerably more precise and generally lower than available calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures.

Michigan ultra-cold polarized atomic hydrogen jet target

To study spin effects in high energy collisions, we are developing an ultra-cold high-density jet target of proton-spin-polarized hydrogen atoms. The target uses a 12 Tesla magnetic field and a 0.3 K separation cell coated with superfluid helium-4 to produce a slow monochromatic electron-spin-polarized atomic hydrogen beam, which is then focused by a superconducting sextupole into the interaction region. In recent tests, we studied a polarized beam of hydrogen atoms focused by the superconducting sextupole into a compression tube detector, which measured the polarized atoms’ intensity. The Jet produced, at the detector, a spin-polarized atomic hydrogen beam with a measured intensity of about 2.8⋅1015 H s−12.8⋅1015Hs−1 and a FWHM area of less than 0.13 cm2. This intensity corresponds to a free jet density of about 1⋅1012 H cm−31⋅1012Hcm−3 with a proton polarization of about 50%. When the transition RF unit is installed, we expect a proton polarization higher than 90%. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87742/2/856_1.pd

Spin-flipping with an rf-dipole and a full Siberian snake

We recently used a vertical-field rf-dipole magnet to study the spin-flipping of a 120 MeV horizontally polarized proton beam stored in the presence of a nearly-full Siberian snake in the IUCF Cooler Ring. The spin was flipped by ramping the rf-dipole’s frequency through an rf-induced depolarizing resonance. After optimizing the frequency ramp parameters, we used multiple spin-flips to measure a maximum spin-flip efficiency of 86.5±0.5%86.5±0.5% in April 2000, and 92.5±0.5%92.5±0.5% in June 2000. The spin-flip efficiency was apparently limited by the maximum achievable current in the rf-dipole. This result indicates that spin-flipping a stored polarized proton beam should be possible in high energy rings such as RHIC (and perhaps HERA in the future), where Siberian snakes are utilized and the dipole rf-flipper-magnets should be quite practical. During the June 2000 run, a new faster technique of locating the rf depolarizing resonance frequency was developed. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87739/2/736_1.pd

First measurement of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn integral for Hydrogen from 200 to 800 MeV

A direct measurement of the helicity dependence of the total photoabsorption cross section on the proton was carried out at MAMI (Mainz) in the energy range 200 < E_gamma < 800 MeV. The experiment used a 4$\pi$ detection system, a circularly polarized tagged photon beam and a frozen spin target. The contributions to the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule and to the forward spin polarizability $\gamma_0$ determined from the data are 226 \pm 5 (stat)\pm 12(sys) \mu b and -187 \pm 8 (stat)\pm 10(sys)10^{-6} fm^4, respectively, for 200 < E_\gamma < 800 MeV.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, 3 table

The helicity dependence of the $\vec{\gamma} \vec{p} \to p \pi^0$ reaction has been measured for the first time in the photon energy range from 550 to 790 MeV. The experiment, performed at the Mainz microtron MAMI, used a 4$\pi$-detector system, a circularly polarized, tagged photon beam, and a longitudinally polarized frozen-spin target. These data are predominantly sensitive to the $D_{13}(1520)$ resonance and are used to determine its parameters.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
