ISU Coloq 11-3-2014

Abstract

ISU's intermediate energy nuclear physics group is presently involved in several fundamental physics measurements. This talk will describe a program to measure the fractional polarization of down quarks in a nucleon using polarized electrons to probe polarized nucleon targets. Quantum chromodynamcs (QCD) is a theory of the strong interaction; one of the four fundamental forces in nature. QCD predicts that the down quark will carry all of the nucleon's spin and result in a fractional polarization of unity when the probe interacts with down quarks that carry all of the nucleon's momentum. This theory contradicts the leading constituent quark model of the nucleon. The world's current data set is unable to discriminate between QCD's prediction and the constituent quark model. A description of this experimental program and the roles of ISU graduate students will be described.

electron scattering (collisions)

Elastic Collisions: Conserve P and E

Inelastic : Only Conserve P

Four Momentum

Using Ryder 4-momentum tensor convention: [math]P_{\mu} \equiv (E/c, -\vec{p}) \;\;\;\;\; P^{\mu} \equiv (E/c, \vec{p})[/math]

If I take the inner product of a particles four momentum with itself I get

[math]P_{\mu} P^{\mu} \equiv \left | \vec P \right |^2 = \left ( \frac{E}{c} \right )^2 - \vec{p} \cdot \vec{p} [/math]

The Energy-Momentum relation

[math]E^2 = (pc)^2 + (m_0c^2)^2[/math]

[math]\Rightarrow P_{\mu} P^{\mu} = \left ( \frac{E}{c} \right )^2 - \vec{p} \cdot \vec{p} = (m_0c)^2[/math]

The [math]\omega[/math] and [math]\vec k[/math] are the reciprocal quantities to [math]t[/math] and [math]\vec r[/math]

[math](t,\vec r) \rightarrow (\omega, \vec k)[/math]

For a plane wave

[math]K^{\mu} \equiv (\omega, \vec k)[/math]

Similarly

[math]\Rightarrow K_{\mu} K^{\mu} = \left ( \omega \right )^2 - \vec{k} \cdot \vec{k} [/math]

The de Broglie relation [math]( p = \frac{h}{\lambda} )[/math]

[math]P_{\mu} = \hbar K_{\mu}[/math]

[math]\Rightarrow K_{\mu}K^ {\mu}=\frac{P_{\mu}P^{\mu} }{ \hbar } = [/math]

[math]\left ( \omega \right )^2 - \vec{k} \cdot \vec{k} = (m_0c)^2[/math]

if its a massless particle (photon) then [math]m_0 = 0[/math]

[math]\left ( \omega \right )^2 = \vec{k} \cdot \vec{k} [/math]

Definition of Momentum Transfer

[math]q_\mu \equiv (\omega, \vec{q})[/math] [math]k^i_\mu \equiv (E_i, \vec{k_i})[/math] [math]k^f_\mu \equiv (E_f, \vec{k_f})[/math]

Conservation of Momentum

[math] k^i_\mu =q_\mu + k^f_\mu [/math]

Momentum Transfer

[math] q_\mu =k^i_\mu - k^f_\mu [/math]

Momentum Transfer Squared

[math] -Q^2 = q^2 = q_\mu q^{\mu} =(E_i-E_f)^2 - (\vec{k}_i - \vec{k}_f) \cdot (\vec{k}_i - \vec{k}_f) [/math]

[math]= m_i^2 + m_f^2 -2E_iE_f + 2\left | \vec{k}_i\right | \left | \vec{k}_f\right | cos(\theta)[/math]

[math]=-4E_iE_f \sin^2(\theta/2) \;\;\; m_i = m_f \ll E_i \mbox{ and } E \approx \left | \vec{k}_i\right |[/math]

[math]Q^2 =4E_iE_f \sin^2(\theta/2) \gt 0[/math] A space-like scattering event

Space-like interval: Two events are separated by a space like interval then there isn't enough time passing between them to allow a cause-effect relationship because a photon can't traverse the distance. This means that there is no reference frame that may be used to describe the event as happening at the same spatial location but there is a frame that describes them happening at the same time. If the spacetime interval between the two events is defined as s[math]^2 = (\Delta r)^2 - (c\Delta t)^2[/math] then [math]s^2 \gt 0[/math] for a space-like interval

Time-like interval: Two events are separated by a time like interval if enough time passes between them to allow a cause-effect relationship. This means that there is no reference frame that may be used to describe the event as happening at the same time but there is one that describes them happening at the same spatial location. If the spacetime interval between the two events is defined as s[math]^2 = (\Delta r)^2 - (c\Delta t)^2[/math] then [math]s^2 \lt 0[/math] for a time-like interval

4-Momentum vector definition using Ryder convention

[math]P_{\mu} \equiv \left ( \frac{E}{c} , - \vec p \right )[/math]

[math]P^{\mu} \equiv \left ( \frac{E}{c} , \vec p \right )[/math]

[math]P_{\mu} P^{\mu} = \left ( \frac{E}{c}\right )^2 - \vec p^2 = E^2-p^2 = m^2[/math] if you define the speed of light as unity

Note

Other conventions used by Perkins

[math]P_{\mu} \equiv \left ( \vec p, -E \right )[/math]

[math]P^{\mu} \equiv \left ( \vec p , E\right )[/math]

or Kollen

[math]P_{\mu} \equiv \left ( \vec p, iE \right )[/math]

[math]P^{\mu} \equiv \left ( \vec p , iE\right )[/math]

Momentum transfer is defined as

[math]q_{\mu} \equiv ( \omega, \vec q) = P^i_{\mu} - P^f_{\mu}[/math] : conservation of momentum

[math]q_{\mu}q^{\mu} = (E_i - E_f)^2 - (\vec {P}_i - \vec{P}_f) \cdot (\vec {P}_i - \vec{P}_f)[/math]

[math]= m_i^2 +m_f^2 - 2E_iE_f + 2 \left | \vec {P}_i \right | \left | \vec {P}_f \right |[/math]

Definition of Missing Mass

Inelastic scattering (Energy is not conserved but absorbed from the momentum transfer)

[math]P_e^{\mu} \equiv (E_i,\vec{k}_i)[/math] [math]\left(P_e^{\mu}\right)^{\prime} \equiv (E_f,\vec{k}_f)[/math] [math]P_p^{\mu} \equiv (M_p,0)[/math] [math]\left(P_p^{\mu}\right)^{\prime} \equiv (E_X,\vec{k}_X)[/math]

4-momentum conservation

[math]P_e^{\mu} + P_p^{\mu} = \left(P_e^{\mu}\right)^{\prime} + \left(P_p^{\mu}\right)^{\prime}[/math]

[math]\left(P_p^{\mu}\right)^{\prime} \left(P_{\mu}^p\right)^{\prime} = [P_e^{\mu} + P_p^{\mu} - \left(P_e^{\mu}\right)^{\prime} ][P^e_{\mu} + P^p_{\mu} - \left(P^e_{\mu}\right)^{\prime} ][/math]

[math]E_X^2 - P_X^2 \equiv W^2 = (E_i^2 - k_i^2) + (E_f^2-k_f^2) + M_p^2 + 2M_p(E_i - E_f) -2(E_iE_f-\vec{k_i}\cdot \vec{k_f})[/math]

[math](E_i^2 - k_i^2) + (E_f^2-k_f^2)= 2m_e^2 \lt \lt M_p^2[/math]

[math]W^2 = M_p^2 + 2M_p(E_i - E_f) -2(E_iE_f-\vec{k_i}\cdot \vec{k_f})[/math]

[math]W^2=M_p^2 + 2M_p(E_i-E_f) -Q^2 \equiv [/math]Invariant Missing Mass = mass of the intermediate state that was created.

The Delta Resonance

Decay Modes: [math]ep \rightarrow \;\; \left \{ {N \pi \;\;\; 99.5% \atop p \gamma \;\;\; 0.5% } \right .[/math]

[math]\sigma = \lt \Delta^+ | V_{\mu}^3| p\gt [/math]

[math]V_{\mu}^3 =[/math] Vector current of the virtual photon exchange

Spin 1/2 and 3/2 final states

Double Spin Asymmetry

If both the target and the incident virtual photon are polarized then one can measure the cross-section for two separate conditions; when the spins are parallel and anti-parallel.

Let [math]\sigma_{3/2} [/math]

[math]\sigma_{1/2} \equiv[/math] photon helicity is anti-parallel to the target spin

[math]\sigma_{3/2} \equiv[/math] photon helicity is parallel to the target spin.

[math]\sigma_{\frac{1}{2}}[/math](Struck quark spin is [math]\parallel[/math] to Nucleon spin)	[math]\sigma_{\frac{3}{2}}[/math] (Struck quark spin is [math]\not\parallel[/math] to Nucleon spin)

Clebsch Gordan recoupling

The recoupling of two subsystems [math]\psi[/math] with angular momenta [math]j_1[/math] and [math]j_2[/math] to a new system[math] \Psi[/math] with total angular momentum [math]J[/math] is written as

[math]\Psi^{J}_{M} = \sum_{m_1=-j_1}^{j_1} \sum_{m_2=-j_2}^{j_2} C^{j_1\;,\;j_2,\;\;J}_{m_1,m_2,M} \; \psi^{j_1}_{m_1} \psi^{j_2}_{m_2}[/math] = expansion of the systems total angular momentum in terms of the uncoupled original basis states of each individual constituent

[math]\Psi^{3/2}_{3/2} = \sum_{m_1,m_2} C^{1,1/2,3/2}_{m_1,m_2,3/2} \psi^{1}_{m_1} \psi^{1/2}_{m_2} = C^{1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}_{1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}\psi^{1}_{1} \psi^{1/2}_{1/2} [/math] : all other possible m_1 and m_2 values don't add to M

[math]\Psi^{3/2}_{1/2} = \sum_{m_1,m_2} C^{1,1/2,3/2}_{m_1,m_2,1/2} \psi^{1}_{m_1} \psi^{1/2}_{m_2} = C^{1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}_{0,\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2}}\psi^{1}_{0} \psi^{1/2}_{1/2} + C^{1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}_{1,\frac{-1}{2},\frac{1}{2}}\psi^{1}_{1} \psi^{1/2}_{-1/2}[/math] : all other possible m_1 and m_2 values don't add to M

If I constrain the helicity of my virtual photon to be +1 by preparing electrons with spins along their direction of motion, then the state [math]\psi^{1}_{0}[/math] doesn't exist so only only one state enters the sum

[math]\Psi^{3/2}_{1/2} = C^{1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}_{1,\frac{-1}{2},\frac{1}{2}}\psi^{1}_{1} \psi^{1/2}_{-1/2}[/math] : all other possible m_1 and m_2 values don't add to M

[math]C^{j_1,j_2,J}_{m_1,m_2,M}[/math] : Clebsch-Gordon Coefficient [math]C^{1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}_{1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}=1[/math] [math]C^{1,\;\;\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}}_{1,-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2}}= \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}[/math]

[math]A = \frac{\sigma_{\frac{1}{2}} - \sigma_{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sigma_{\frac{1}{2}} + \sigma_{\frac{3}{2}}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} - 1}{\frac{1}{3} + 1} = -1/2[/math]

Quark Distributions

[math]\sigma_p^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-} = \frac{1}{9}[4( u + \bar{u}) \pm ( d + \bar{d})]D_u^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-}[/math]

[math]\sigma_n^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-} = \frac{1}{9}[4(d + \bar{d}) \pm (u + \bar{u})]D_u^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-}[/math]

[math]\sigma_{2H}^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-} = \frac{5}{9}[( u + \bar{u}) \pm ( d + \bar{d})]D_u^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-}[/math]

The polarized distributions may be expressed in a similar fashion:

[math]\sigma_{\frac{1}{2}}[/math](Struck quark spin is [math]\parallel[/math] to Nucleon spin)	[math]\sigma_{\frac{3}{2}}[/math] (Struck quark spin is [math]\not\parallel[/math] to Nucleon spin)

[math]\frac{d^3 \sigma^h_{1/2}}{dxdQ^2 dz}\approx \Sigma_q e_q^2 q^{\parallel}(x,Q^2)D_q^h(z,Q^2)[/math]

[math]\frac{d^3 \sigma^h_{3/2}}{dxdQ^2 dz}\approx \Sigma_q e_q^2 q^{\not\parallel}(x,Q^2)D_q^h(z,Q^2)[/math]

[math]\frac{d^3 \sigma^h_{1/2(3/2)}}{dxdQ^2 dz}\approx \Sigma_q e_q^2 q^{+(-)}(x,Q^2)D_q^h(z,Q^2)[/math]

[math]\Delta \sigma_p^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-} = \frac{1}{9}[4(\Delta u + \Delta \bar{u}) \pm (\Delta d + \Delta \bar{d})]D_u^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-}[/math]

[math]\Delta \sigma_n^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-} = \frac{1}{9}[4(\Delta d + \Delta d^-) \pm (\Delta u + \Delta u^-)]D_u^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-}[/math]

[math]\Delta \sigma_{2H}^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-} = \frac{5}{9}[(\Delta u + \Delta \bar{u}) \pm (\Delta d + \Delta \bar{d})]D_u^{\pi^+ \pm \pi^-}[/math]

Duality

[math]\lt g_1\gt \equiv \frac{\int_{x_l}^{x_h} g_1(x,Q^2) dx}{x_h - x_l}[/math]

where

[math]x= \frac{1}{1 + \frac{W^2-M^2}{Q^2}}[/math]

[math]x_l (x_h)[/math] is the maximum (minimum) value of x for the interval of W being considered

Ba-133

Ba-133 undergoes electron capture to Cs-133. 86% of the time it ends up in the 1/2+ , 437 keV excited state of Cs-133. The 437 state emmits a 356 keV photon as it transitions to the 81 keV state on its way to the ground state. We see photons of energy 81 keV and 356 keV in coincidence as the lifetime in the 81 keV state is so short.

Energy(keV)	Intensity(rel)
53.1625( 6)	2.199(22)
79.6139(13)	2.62( 6)
80.9971(12)	34.06(27)
160.6109(17)	0.645( 8)
223.2373(14)	0.450( 4)
276.3997(13)	7.164(22)
302.8510( 6)	18.33( 6)
356.0134( 6)	62.05(19)
383.8480(12)	8.94( 3)

The 81 keV and 356 keV lines are the strongest and, when they occur in coincidence, they represent the transition from the 436 keV excited state of Cs-133 to the 81 keV excited state and then the ground state.

If I put a cut on the strongest line (356 keV) observed by Det B and ask what photon energies are observed in coincidence (timing window of 53 ns) with the other HpGe detector (Detector 180-2) I see the spectrum
