Longitudinal electroproduction of charged pions from (1)H, (2)H, and (3)He.

چکیده
Separated longitudinal and transverse cross sections for charged pion electroproduction from (1)H, (2)H, and (3)He were measured at Q(2) = 0.4 (GeV/c)(2) for two values of the invariant mass, W = 1.15 GeV and W = 1.60 GeV, in a search for a mass dependence which would signal the effect of nuclear pions. This is the first such study that includes recoil momenta significantly above the Fermi surface. The longitudinal cross section, if dominated by the pion-pole process, should be sensitive to nuclear pion currents. Comparisons of the longitudinal cross section target ratios to a quasifree calculation reveal a significant suppression in (3)He at W = 1.60 GeV. The W = 1.15 GeV results are consistent with simple estimates of the effect of nuclear pion currents, but are also consistent with pure quasifree production.

A Study of Longitudinal Charged Pion Electroproduction on H , 2 H , 3 He
A series of measurements of single pion electroproduction on the proton, deuteron, and He was completed recently at Je erson Laboratory by the NucPi Collaboration. The data form the rst part of a study of longitudinal electroproduction in light nuclei. The goal is a determination of the longitudinal cross section in parallel kinematics by means of a Rosenbluth separation, and a search for targe...
متن کاملA Study of Longitudinal Charged Pion Electroproduction in D2, He3, and He4
We propose to study longitudinal charged pion electroproduction (in the excitation region below the delta isobar) along the direction of the momentum transfer where the charge scattering process dominates. Direct comparison of the cross section per nucleon in deuterium and the helium isotopes with the experimental value for the free nu-cleon will provide estimates of the strength of the nuclear...

We examine the scattering of charged pions from the trinucleon system at a pion energy of 180 MeV. The motivation for this study is the structure seen in the experimental angular distribution of back-angle scattering for π +-3 He and π −-3 H but for neither π −-3 He nor π +-3 H. We consider the addition of a double spin flip term to an optical model treatment and find that, though the contribut...

Electroproduction of rho mesons followed by decay . into two pions is’studied. Angular correlations between the pions and electrons are explicitly evaluated and shown to allow a separation of the longitudinal and transverse photon cross sections. (Submitted to Phys .
