Quark Flavor Tagging in Polarized Hadronic Processes
We describe a general approach to quark flavor tagging in polarized hadronic
processes, with particular emphasis on semi-inclusive deep inelastic
scattering. A formalism is introduced that allows one to relate chosen quark
flavor polarizations to an arbitrary combination of final-state hadron spin
asymmetries. Within the context of the presented formalism, we quantify the
sensitivity of various semi-inclusive hadron asymmetries to the light quark
flavors. We show that unpolarized Lambda's may allow one to measure strange
quark and antiquark polarizations independently. We also highlight several
applications of our formalism, particularly to measurements intended to probe
further the spin structure of the nucleon.Comment: 5 pages, 2 EPS figures (new), version to be published in PRD (Rapid

We report on a precision measurement of the neutron spin structure function

Radiation emission of autoionising hole states of Al induced by XUV free electron laser radiation with FLASH at DESY
The analysis of the radiative properties of plasmas created by XUV and X-ray free electron laser radiations provides a tremendous challenge to researchers to investigate matter under extreme conditions. In the present work we report about the theoretical analysis of the radiation emission of Al heated by the interaction of 10 fs focused (1 μm) free electron laser radiation at 13.5 nm at intensities of about 1016 W/cm2. The data show strong resonance line emission 3l -2l′ from Ne-like Al but also numerous intense broad emission structures in the spectral range from 10-30 nm. Atomic structure analysis indicate that these emission structures might originate from multiple excited states with L-holes. By means of a genetic algorithm we analyze possible excitation channels driven directly by the FLASH free electron laser as well as by heated plasma electrons
XUV Emission from Autoionizing Hole States Induced by Intense XUV-FEL at Intensities up to W/
Aluminium targets were irradiated with 92 eV radiation from FLASH Free Electron Laser at DESY at intensities up to 1017 W/cm2 by focussing the beam on target down to a spot size of ∼1 μm by means of a parabolic mirror. High resolution XUV spectroscopy was used to identify aluminium emission from complex hole-states. Simulations carried out with the MARIA code show that the emission characterizes the electron heating in the transition phase solid-atomic. The analysis allows constructing a simple model of electron heating via Auger electrons. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd
