Transverse spin observables in chromodynamics

Description: Quantum Chromodynamics confronts a harsh series of tests in the attempt to formulate a comprehensive approach to the calculation of transverse spin observables. The basic obstacles to understanding transverse spin can be illustrated by considering the transverse structure function g{sub T}(x, Q{sup 2}) = g{sub 1}(x, Q{sup 2}) + g{sub 2}(x, Q{sup 2}), extracted from deep-inelastic scattering using a polarized lepton and a polarized proton. The inadequacy of the transverse-spin basis for quarks a… more

Quarks and gluons in hadrons and nuclei

Description: These lectures discuss the particle-nuclear interface -- a general introduction to the ideas and application of colored quarks in nuclear physics, color, the Pauli principle, and spin flavor correlations -- this lecture shows how the magnetic moments of hadrons relate to the underlying color degree of freedom, and the proton's spin -- a quark model perspective. This lecture reviews recent excitement which has led some to claim that in deep inelastic polarized lepton scattering very little of th… more

Measurement of sin/sup 2/theta/sub w/ in Semileptonic nu Fe and anti nu Fe Interactions

Description: We report results from neutral current scattering of muon neutrinos and antineutrinos on iron nuclei by the CCFRR experiment at Fermilab. Our objective is the measurement of sin/sup 2/theta/sub w/ from inclusive semileptonic neutrino-nucleon interactions. Such a measurement, even though it is subject to more corrections than the analogous measurement in neutrino-electron scattering (e.g. due to the presence of a strange quark sea in the nucleon), has a high degree of statistical accuracy and ma… more

A proposal for a precision test of the standard model by neutrino-electron scattering (Large /hacek C/erenkov Detector Project)

Description: A precision measurement of neutrino-electron elastic scattering from a beam stop neutrino source at LAMPF is proposed. The total error in sin/sup 2/theta/sub W/ is estimated to be +-0.89/percent/. The experiment also will be sensitive to neutrino oscillations and supernova-neutrino bursts, and should set improved limits on the neutrino-charge radius and magnetic-dipole moment. The detector consists of a 2.5-million-gallon tank of water with approximately 14,000 photomultiplier tubes lining the … more

Strange-Particle Production in High-Energy Anti. Nu. And. Nu. Charged-Current Interactions on Protons

Description: We have studied the semi-inclusive reactions anti ..nu..p ..-->.. ..mu../sup +/V/sup 0/X and ..nu..p ..-->.. ..mu../sup -/V/sup 0/X, and measured the fractional rate for producing one or more neutral strange particles in these reactions to be 0.16 +- 0.03 and 0.15 +- 0.04, respectively. We have observed K/sup -/(892) and ..sigma../sup -/(1385) production in anti ..nu..p scattering at a few percent of the inclusive rate.

Normalizing the renormalization group in deep inelastic leptoproduction. CTP No. 878

Description: The quark-bag model is used to calculate the nucleon matrix elements of local twist-two operators. Bag matrix elements applicable to low Q/sup 2/ are evolved by use of QCD perturbation theory to a value of Q/sup 2/ large enough that the data can be expected to be dominated by twist-two. Nonsinglet moments of F/sub 3/ are plotted. Although only twist-two was studied, the work has implications for higher twist. It is concluded that either the twist-two operator matrix element is Q/sup 2/ dependen… more

nu. N,. mu. N interactions: structure functions, higher twist

Description: Data on deep inelastic scattering of leptons by nucleons and nuclei have been accumulated for several years. Results exist from several experiments with electron, muon, neutrino beams. In this talk I shall review the most recent experiments which measured nucleon structure functions with ..nu.. and ..mu.. beams. In particular, I will summarize the results on R = sigma/sub L//sigma/sub T/ measurement, on F/sub 2/(x,Q/sup 2/), and xF/sub 3/(x,Q/sup 2/), and their interpretation in terms of QCD, i… more

Theoretical aspects of lepton-hadron scattering

Description: In this paper, I will emphasize two points on Theoretical Aspects of Lepton-Hadron Scattering: (1) The crucial importance of testing the exact'' sum rules as tests of the local current algebra. Discrepancies, if found, between experiment and theory cannot be interpreted away'' in terms of more complex parton wave functions for the hadronic ground state. The three sum rules of interest are those of Adler, Bjorken, and Gross and Llewellyn-Smith. (2) An understanding of the corrections to scaling … more

Results from FNAL E745 on neutrino-nucleus interactions (EMC effect and hadron formation)

Description: The dark tracks (stubs) in high energy neutrino-nucleus interactions in the Tohoku High Resolution Freon Bubble Chamber are investigated. Classifying events into groups by using the dark tracks, correlations between the dark track production and neutrino interactions are studied. Events without dark tracks comprise a reasonable sample of events which occurred on quasi-free nucleons inside nucleus. By comparing the groups using the no dark track group as a comparison sample instead of neutrino-d… more

Inclusive quasielastic and deep inelastic electron scattering at high energies

Description: With high electron energies a kinematic regime can be reached where it will be possible to separate quasielastic and deep inelastic scattering. We present a short description of these processes which dominate the inclusive spectrum. Using the highest momentum transfer data available to guide our estimates, we give the kinematic requirements and the cross sections expected. These results indicate that inclusive scattering at high q has a yet unfilled potential. 18 refs., 13 figs.

Hadronic structure of the weak neutral current. [Cross sections]

Description: A comparison of neutral and charged current deep inelastic neutrino interactions is made in an experiment utilizing the Fermilab 15 ft bubble chamber. The ratio of neutral current events (NC) to charged current events (CC) is 0.35 +- .06 when the visible hadronic energy is greater than 10 GeV. The distributions of NC and CC in a new variable called u/sub vis/, which depends only on the observed hadrons, are given. From these distributions and the assumption that the x distribution is the same f… more

Determination of sin/sup 2/THETA/sub w/ and rho in deep inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering

Description: We have determined the electroweak parameters sin/sup 2/THETA/sub w/ and rho by a measurement of deep inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering using a fine grained neutrino detector exposed to a narrow band neutrino beam at Fermilab. The unique sampling properties of our detector have permitted neutral current and charged current events to be unambiguously identified over a wide kinematic range, thereby allowing a determination of sin/sup 2/THETA/sub w/ and rho to be made with good statistics and … more

Diffusion model predictions for kinetic energy, mass, angular distributions, and. gamma. -ray multiplicities in heavy ion induced reactions

Description: In the present formalism the diffusion along the mass asymmetry coordinate has been generalized by refining the treatment of the radial and angular motion necessary for an adequate reproduction of the kinetic energy and angular distributions. The radial potential is used to evaluate the radial force. The interaction time and the average penetration for each l-wave are estimated. The diffusion calculation is then carried out for the duration of the interaction time. The angular rotation during d… more

What we can learn from lepton-quark interactions

Description: A review is presented of what has been learned from lepton-quark interactions. Next, the context in which to ask future questions, the paradigm, it constitutes the set of assumptions that we believe on the basis of present experiments and which - subject always to refinement, extension, and revision - defines the way we talk about experiments done now and in the future. Two fothcoming neutrino experiments are discussed which seem to be of specific interest. Finally, some of the possibilities fo… more
