Nucleon Form Factors and the BLAST Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
Measurements of the electric and magnetic form factors of the nucleon present a sensitive test of nucleon models and QCD-inspired theories. A precise knowledge of the neutron form factors at low Q is also essential to reduce the systematic errors of parity violation experiments. At the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center, the nucleon form factors have been measured by means of scattering of polarized electrons from vector-polarized hydrogen and deuterium. The experiment used the longitudinally polarized stored electron beam of the MIT-Bates South Hall Ring along with an isotopically pure, highly vector-polarized internal atomic hydrogen and deuterium target provided by an atomic beam source. The measurements have been carried out with the symmetric Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid (BLAST) with enhanced neutron detection capability.

Information obtained from nucleus as a bound system of nucleons and from nucleon-nucleon scattering experiments is a strong tool for studying various aspects of nuclear forces. Deuteron-deuteron scattering as a four-nucleon system can provide useful information. So, scattering experiment of a polarized beam of deuteron with kinetic energy of65 MeV/nucleon from a liquid-deuterium target was done...
متن کاملChiral effective theory predictions for deuteron form factor ratios at low Q
We use chiral effective theory (χET) to predict the deuteron form factor ratio GC/GQ as well as ratios of deuteron to nucleon form factors. These ratios are calculated to next-to-next-to-leading order. At this order the chiral expansion for the NN isoscalar charge operator (including consistently calculated 1/M corrections) is a parameter-free prediction of the effective theory. Use of this ope...
متن کاملUnderstanding nucleon structure using lattice simulations
This review focuses on the discussion of three key results of nucleon structure calculations on the lattice. These three results are the quark contribution to the nucleon spin, Jq, the nucleon-∆ transition form factors, and the nucleon axial coupling, gA. The importance for phenomenology and experiment is discussed and the requirements for future simulations are pointed out. Preprint number: DE...
متن کاملParity-violating electron scattering and strangeness form factors of the nucleon
In this contribution a brief review of the measurement of the nucleon strangeness vector form factors is given. These observables and the principle of the access to them through parity-violating electron scattering are recalled. A survey of data published by the various experiments is compiled. An account on the needed experimental techniques and more in detail of the A4 experiment at the MAMI ...
