Measurements of parity-violating asymmetries in electron-deuteron scattering in the nucleon resonance region.

چکیده
We report on parity-violating asymmetries in the nucleon resonance region measured using inclusive inelastic scattering of 5-6 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons off an unpolarized deuterium target. These results are the first parity-violating asymmetry data in the resonance region beyond the Δ(1232). They provide a verification of quark-hadron duality-the equivalence of the quark- and hadron-based pictures of the nucleon-at the (10-15)% level in this electroweak observable, which is dominated by contributions from the nucleon electroweak γZ interference structure functions. In addition, the results provide constraints on nucleon resonance models relevant for calculating background corrections to elastic parity-violating electron scattering measurements.

Strange quark contributions to parity-violating asymmetries in the backward angle G0 electron scattering experiment.
We have measured parity-violating asymmetries in elastic electron-proton and quasielastic electron-deuteron scattering at Q2=0.22 and 0.63 GeV2. They are sensitive to strange quark contributions to currents in the nucleon and the nucleon axial-vector current. The results indicate strange quark contributions of approximately < 10% of the charge and magnetic nucleon form factors at these four-mom...

The longitudinal asymmetry due to Z0 exchange is calculated in quasi-elastic electron-deuteron scattering at momentum transfers |Q2| ' 0.1 GeV2 relevant for the SAMPLE experiment. The deuteron and pn scattering-state wave functions are obtained from solutions of a Schrödinger equation with the Argonne v18 potential. Electromagnetic and weak neutral oneand two-nucleon currents are included in th...

Further measurements of parity violating asymmetries in inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from deuterium have been made for a range of y values from 0.15 to 0.36. Only a small y-dependence is observed in the asymmetries. Using the quark-parton model our results are in good agreement with the Weinberg-Salam predictions. 0.020. We obtain a value of the parameter sin2f3W= 0.224 ?r The ev...
متن کاملElectroweak Processes in Few-nucleon Systems * †
After a brief introduction into the basic ingredients of electroweak theory as a spontaneously broken local, non-Abelian gauge symmetry, the general properties of the electromagnetic current and two-photon operators are discussed. In particular, the consequences of gauge invariance and the resulting low energy theorems are reviewed. The multipole decomposition of the current operators and the g...
متن کاملParity Violation in Neutron Capture Reactions
In the last decade, the scattering of polarized neutrons on compound nucleus resonances proved to be a powerful experimental technique for probing nuclear parity violation. Longitudinal analyzing powers in neutron transmission measurements on p-wave resonances in nuclei such as La and Th were found to be as large as 10%. Here we examine the possibilities of carrying out a parallel program to me...
