Two-photon exchange measurements with positrons and electrons
نویسنده
چکیده
Two-photon exchange contributions have potentially broad ranging impact on several charged lepton scattering measurements. Previously believed to be extremely small, based in part on comparisons of positron scattering and electron scattering in the 1950s and 1960s, recent data suggest that the corrections may be larger than expected, in particular in kinematic regions that were inaccessible in these early positron scattering measurements. Additional measurements using positron beams at Jefferson Lab would allow for a detailed investigation of these contributions in a range of reactions and observables.

متن کاملCompilation and analysis of charge asymmetry measurements from electron and positron scattering on nucleon and nuclei
World data of elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons and positrons on nucleon and nuclei are compiled and discussed. The evidence of an experimental charge asymmetry different from zero, being a pure quantum effect, would be a signature of contributions beyond the Born approximation. After reviewing the published results, we compare the elastic data to a calculation which includes the bo...
متن کاملIn- ̄ight annihilation during positron channeling
Energetic positrons propagating along low index directions in a crystal interact strongly with the periodic array of atoms via a process known as channeling. The trajectories of such channeled positrons can be manipulated to sample dierent spatial regions in the crystal. Here we report the ®rst observations of channeling eects on in̄ight annihilation radiation from positrons traversing a thin ...
متن کاملInverse Compton X-rays from relativistic flare electrons and positrons
Context. In solar flares, inverse Compton scattering (ICS) of photospheric photons might give rise to detectable hard X-ray photon fluxes from the corona where ambient densities are too low for significant bremsstrahlung or recombination. γ-ray lines and continuum in some large flares imply the presence of the necessary ∼ 100 MeV electrons and positrons, the latter as by-products of GeV energy ...
متن کاملOn propagation of high-energy photon in a medium in presence of an external field
The polarization tensor is calculated which originates from interaction of a photon with the electron-positron field. The effects of multiple scattering of electrons and positrons in a medium side by side with external fields is included. The corresponding general representation of polarization tensor is found in the form of two-dimensional integral. The both effects may be essential for propag...
