Muon Spin Rotation Measurement of the Magnetic Field Penetration Depth in Ba(Fe0.93 Co0.07)2 As2 : Evidence for Multiple Superconducting Gaps
We have performed transverse field muon spin rotation measurements of single
crystals of Ba(FeCoAs with the applied magnetic field
along the direction. Fourier transforms of the measured spectra
reveal an anisotropic lineshape characteristic of an Abrikosov vortex lattice.
We have fit the SRSR spectra to a microscopic model in terms of the
penetration depth and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter .
We find that as a function of temperature, the penetration depth varies more
rapidly than in standard weak coupled BCS theory. For this reason we first fit
the temperature dependence to a power law where the power varies from 1.6 to
2.2 as the field changes from 200G to 1000G. Due to the surprisingly strong
field dependence of the power and the superfluid density we proceeded to fit
the temperature dependence to a two gap model, where the size of the two gaps
is field independent. From this model, we obtained gaps of
and , corresponding to roughly 6 meV
and 3 meV respectively
Static magnetic order of SrAOFeAs (A = Sc and V) revealed by local probes
Static magnetic order of quasi two-dimensional FeAs compounds
Sr4A2O6-xFe2As2, with A = Sc and V, has been detected by 57Fe Moessbauer and
muon spin relaxation ({\mu}SR) spectroscopies. The non-superconducting
stoichiometric (x = 0) A = Sc system exhibits a static internal/hyperfine
magnetic field both at the 57Fe and {\mu}+ sites, indicating antiferromagnetic
order of Fe moments below TN = 35 K with ~ 0.1 Bohr magneton per Fe at T = 2 K.
The superconducting and oxygen deficient (x = 0.4) A = V system exhibits a
static internal field only at the {\mu}+ site below TN ~ 40 K, indicating
static magnetic order of V moments co-existing with superconductivity without
freezing of Fe moments. These results suggest that the 42622 FeAs systems
belong to the same paradigm with the 1111 and 122 FeAs systems with respect to
magnetic behavior of Fe moments.Comment: 4 pages 4 figures: for information, contact

Superfluid Density and Field-Induced Magnetism in Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 and Sr(Fe1-xCox)2As2 Measured with Muon Spin Relaxation
We report muon spin rotation (SR) measurements of single crystal
Ba(FeCo)As and Sr(FeCo)As. From
measurements of the magnetic field penetration depth we find that for
optimally- and over-doped samples, varies monotonically
with the superconducting transition temperature T. Within the
superconducting state we observe a positive shift in the muon precession
signal, likely indicating that the applied field induces an internal magnetic
field. The size of the induced field decreases with increasing doping but is
present for all Co concentrations studied.Comment: 7 pages, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Beam-Spin Asymmetry Σ for Σ⁻ Hyperon Photoproduction off the Neutron
We report a new measurement of the beam-spin asymmetry, Σ, for the →n → K+Σ− reaction using quasi-free neutrons in a liquid-deuterium target. The new dataset includes data at previously unmeasured photon energy and angular ranges, thereby providing new constraints on partial wave analyses used to extract properties of the excited nucleon states. The experimental data were obtained using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS), housed in Hall B of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab). The CLAS detector measured reaction products from a liquid-deuterium target produced by an energy-tagged, linearly polarised photon beam with energies in the range 1.1 to 2.3 GeV. Predictions from an isobar model indicate strong sensitivity to N(1720)3/2+, Δ(1900)1/2−, and N(1895)1/2−, which corroborates results from a recent combined analysis of all KΣ channels. When our data are incorporated in the fits of partial-wave analyses, one observes significant changes in -n couplings of resonances which have small branching ratios to the πN channel

A comparison of forward and backward pp pair knockout in 3He(e,e'pp)n
Measuring nucleon-nucleon Short Range Correlations (SRC) has been a goal of
the nuclear physics community for many years. They are an important part of the
nuclear wavefunction, accounting for almost all of the high-momentum strength.
They are closely related to the EMC effect. While their overall probability has
been measured, measuring their momentum distributions is more difficult. In
order to determine the best configuration for studying SRC momentum
distributions, we measured the He reaction, looking at events
with high momentum protons ( GeV/c) and a low momentum neutron
( GeV/c). We examined two angular configurations: either both protons
emitted forward or one proton emitted forward and one backward (with respect to
the momentum transfer, ). The measured relative momentum distribution
of the events with one forward and one backward proton was much closer to the
calculated initial-state relative momentum distribution, indicating that
this is the preferred configuration for measuring SRC.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures, submitted to Phys Rev C. Version 2 incorporates
