NONDYNAMICAL ANALYSIS OF SPIN AMPLITUDES IN PION-PROTON ELASTIC SCATTERING IN OPTIMAL FORMALISM AT 6.0 GeV/C
Optimal conditions are used in nondynamical formalism to diagonalize the pionproton reaction matrix as much as possible. Invariance laws are imposed to simplify the relationship between observables and bilinear combination of amplitudes. Transverse amplitudes are determined by using measured polarization parameter in xfp elastic scattering at 6.0 GeVIC
متن کاملModel Independent Considerations on Two-photon Exchange in Electron Proton Scattering and in the Crossed Processes
The presence of two photon exchange in ep elastic scattering and in the crossed processes (p̄+p ↔ l+l, l = e or μ) is discussed in terms of three complex amplitudes which are functions of two kinematical variables, the momentum transfer squared q and the polarization of the virtual photon, ǫ. Model independent expressions of the differential cross section and of polarization observables are deri...
متن کاملAntiproton polarization induced by lepton interactions
We present expressions for electromagnetic helicity amplitudes and spin observables for any elastic spin 1/2 spin 1/2 scattering to first order in QED. In particular all electromagnetic helicity amplitudes and spin observables for elastic antiproton-electron and antiproton-proton scattering via single t-channel photon exchange are presented. Spin observables are required to describe the rate of...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Proton Form Factor Ratio GE/GM from Double Spin Asymmetries
Detailed study of the nucleons is very important to understand the nucleus. Electron-Proton scattering is the best tool to probe the nucleus and hence deep into it. In the One-Photon exchange (Born) approximation, the structure of the nucleon characterized by electric and magnetic form factors, GE(Q ) and GM(Q ), which depend only on momentum transfer squared, Q. At Q=0, the proton form factors...
متن کاملBeyond the Born Approximation: A Precise Comparison of ep and ep Elastic Scattering in CLAS
A direct measurement of the two photon exchange contribution to lepton-proton elastic scattering is proposed. This process is expected to explain the discrepancy observed between two methods of measuring the proton’s GE/GM ratio. A definitive test of this assertion is possible via a high precision comparison of e+p and ep elastic scattering. The proposed measurement, which uniquely exploits the...
