Tensor polarization in elastic electron-deuteron scattering in the momentum transfer range 3.8 <= Q <= 4.6 fm-1.

چکیده
The tensor polarization of the recoil deuteron in elastic electron-deuteron scattering has been measured at the Bates Linear Accelerator Center at three values of four-momentum transfer, Q = 3.78, 4.22, and 4.62 fm-', corresponding to incident electron energies of 653, 755, and 853 MeV. The scattered electrons and the recoil deuterons were detected in coincidence. The recoil deuterons were transported to a liquid hydrogen target to undergo a second scattering. The angular distribution of the d-p scattering was measured using a polarimeter. The polarimeter was calibrated in an auxiliary experiment using a polarized deuteron beam at the Laboratoire National Saturne. A Monte Carlo procedure was used to generate interpolated calibration data because the energy spread in the deuteron energies in the Bates experiment spanned the range of deuteron energies in the calibration experiment. The extracted values of tzo are compared to predictions of different theoretical models of the electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron: nonrelativistic and relativistic nucleon-meson dynamics, Skyrme model, quark models, and perturbative quantum chromodynamics. Along with the world data on the structure functions A (Q) and B(Q), they are used to separate the charge monopole and charge quadrupole form factors of the deuteron. A node in the charge monopole form factor is observed at Q = 4.39 i 0.16 fm-' .

Measurement of tensor polarization in elastic electron-deuteron scattering at large momentum transfer
Tensor polarization observables ( t(20), t(21), and t(22)) have been measured in elastic electron-deuteron scattering for six values of momentum transfer between 0.66 and 1.7 (GeV/c)(2). The experiment was performed at the Jefferson Laboratory in Hall C using the electron High Momentum Spectrometer, a specially designed deuteron magnetic channel and the recoil deuteron polarimeter POLDER. The n...

What range of momentum components in the deuteron wave function are available ed elastic scattering data sensitive to ? This question is addressed within the context of a model calculation of the deuteron form factors, based on realistic interactions and currents. It is shown that the data on the A(q), B(q), and T20(q) observables at q ≤ 6 fm−1 essentially probe momentum components up to ≃ 4mπ....

The deuteron electromagnetic form factors, A(Q 2) and B(Q 2), and the tensor polarization T 20 (Q 2), are unambiguously calculated within the front-form relativis-tic Hamiltonian dynamics, by using a novel current, built up from one-body terms, which fulfills Poincaré, parity and time reversal covariance, together with Hermiticity and the continuity equation. A simultaneous description of the e...
