Polarization Analysis of p̄ Produced in pA Collisions
A quite simple procedure for the generation of a polarized antiproton beam could be worked out if antiprotons are produced with some polarization. In order to investigate this possibility measurements of the polarization of produced antiprotons have been started at a CERN/PS test beam. The polarization will be determined from the asymmetry of the elastic antiproton scattering at a liquid hydrogen target in the CNI region for which the analyzing power is well known. The data are under analysis and an additional measurement is done in 2018. Details on the experiment and the ongoing data analysis will be given
Separated Kaon Electroproduction Cross Section and the Kaon Form Factor from 6 GeV JLab Data
The () reaction was studied as a function of
the Mandelstam variable using data from the E01-004 (FPI-2) and E93-018
experiments that were carried out in Hall C at the 6 GeV Jefferson Lab. The
cross section was fully separated into longitudinal and transverse components,
and two interference terms at four-momentum transfers of 1.00, 1.36 and
2.07 GeV. The kaon form factor was extracted from the longitudinal cross
section using the Regge model by Vanderhaeghen, Guidal, and Laget. The results
establish the method, previously used successfully for pion analyses, for
extracting the kaon form factor. Data from 12 GeV Jefferson Lab experiments are
expected to have sufficient precision to distinguish between theoretical
predictions, for example recent perturbative QCD calculations with modern
parton distribution amplitudes. The leading-twist behavior for light mesons is
predicted to set in for values of between 5-10 GeV, which makes data
in the few GeV regime particularly interesting. The dependence at fixed
and of the longitudinal cross section we extracted seems consistent
with the QCD factorization prediction within the experimental uncertainty
