    In the context of the tremendous progress achieved at HERA in diffraction and the need for a new level of statistical and systematic precision, the new very large acceptance forward spectrometer planned by H1 (VFPS) is presented and the physics issues are stressed

    On the possibility of measuring FL(x,Q2)F_L(x,Q^2) at HERA using radiative events

    Get PDF
    It is shown that a significant measurement of the longitudinal structure function FL(x,Q2)F_L(x,Q^2) can be performed at HERA, for Q2=2GeV2Q^2 = 2 GeV^2 and Q2=5GeV2Q^2 = 5 GeV^2 and for x around 10−410^{-4}, using radiative events with hard photon emission collinear to the incident lepton beam, under the present running conditions and with an integrated luminosity of 10 pb−1pb^{-1}. The influence of experimental conditions is discussed.Comment: 12 pages (6 figures

    Easy as πo\pi^o: On the Interpretation of Recent Electroproduction Results

    Full text link
    Exclusive πo\pi^o electroproduction from nucleons was first suggested by Ahmad, Goldstein and Liuti for extracting from experimental data the tensor charge, transversity and other quantities related to chiral odd combinations of generalized parton distributions. We now explain the details of the process: {\it i)} the connection between the helicity description and the cartesian basis; {\it ii)} the dependence on the momentum transfer squared, Q2Q^2, and {\it iii)} the angular momentum, parity, and charge conjugation constraints (JPCJ^{PC} quantum numbers).Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures, some changes in formalism, and text.

    Charged rho meson production in neutrino-induced reactions at E_nu = 10 GeV

    Full text link
    The neutrinoproduction of charged ρ\rho mesons on nuclei and nucleons is investigated for the first time at moderate energies (≈ \approx 10 GeV), using the date obtained with SKAT bubble chamber. No strong nuclear effects are observed in ρ+\rho^+ and ρ−\rho^- production. The fractions of charged and neutral pions originating from ρ\rho decays are obtained and compared with higher energy data. From analysis of the obtained and available data on ρ+\rho^+ and K∗+K^{*+}(892) neutrinoproduction, the strangeness suppression factor in the quark string fragmentation is extracted: λs=0.18±0.03\lambda_s = 0.18\pm0.03. Estimations are obtained for cross sections of quasiexclusive single ρ+\rho^+ and coherent ρ+\rho^+ neutrinoproduction on nuclei. The estimated coherent cross section σρ+coh\sigma_{\rho^+}^{coh} = (0.29±0.16)⋅10−38\pm0.16)\cdot 10^{-38} cm2^2 is compatible with theoretical predictions.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure

    Shadowing in neutrino deep inelastic scattering and the determination of the strange quark distribution

    Get PDF
    We discuss shadowing corrections to the structure function F2F_2 in neutrino deep-inelastic scattering on heavy nuclear targets. In particular, we examine the role played by shadowing in the comparison of the structure functions F2F_2 measured in neutrino and muon deep inelastic scattering. The importance of shadowing corrections in the determination of the strange quark distributions is explained.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figure

    Interannual population dynamics of the green spruce aphid Elatobium abietinum (Walker) in France

    Get PDF
    The hypothesis that similar processes govern interannual dynamics of green spruce aphid in the UK and France, is generally supported by the application of a general discrete model. A simple model based on relatively few parameters was able to closely characterise interannual population dynamics from completely independent aerial and arboreal samples of aphids. Long term field population estimates of the green spruce aphid Elatobium abietinum (Walker) in France have provided the opportunity to select and evaluate the generality of a model which was developed in the UK to explain the year‐to‐year variations in peak abundance of the aphid. Aims The objective was to observe the influence of the local climates and disturbing climate factors on the population densities of the insect in two regions of France. Methods The model uses climate variables and aphid population data from regular samples in the two regions that were investigated. A general discrete model was used to predict aphid population densities. Results The model performed well in tracking the interannual patterns of population but was less likely to predict absolute population density. Conclusion To improve predictions, further account would need to be taken of additional site‐specific climate variables and the strength of overcompensating density dependence. Nevertheless it is clear that broadly similar processes are at work in the population dynamics of this insect across its biogeographical range
