Limits on CP nonconserving interactions from electric dipole moments

Description: I discuss bounds on CP-nonconserving (CPNC) and parity-nonconserving (PNC) hadronic interactions that result from measurements of atomic electric dipole moments. In most models of hadronic CPNC, the nuclear edm arises primarily from the polarization of the ground state by the CPNC PNC NN interaction, rather than from the edms of valence nucleons. When the atom is placed in an external field, the nucleus is fully shielded apart from nuclear finite size effects and relativistic corrections arisin… more

Theoretical aspects of searches for time reversal violation in neutron transmission

Description: In nonleptonic nuclear processes one can probe time reversal violating interactions which conserve flavor. The authors discuss such interactions and their manifestations in the nucleon-nucleon interaction. Among nuclear physics experiments studies of the transmission of polarized epithermal neutrons appear to be the most sensitive tools to probe for time reversal violation in the nucleon-nucleon interaction. They consider what sensitivities are required for neutron transmission experiments to o… more

Measurements of the deuteron elastic structure function A(Q{sup 2}) at the Jefferson Laboratory

Description: Results from experiment E91-026 in Hall A at the Jefferson Laboratory are reported. The aim of this experiment was to extract the deuteron structure function A(Q{sup 2}) from the coincidence elastic electron-deuteron cross-section measurements. A squared four-momentum transfer (Q{sup 2}) range of 0.7 to 6.0 (Gev/c){sup 2} was covered. Data from this experiment improve the quality of existing data at the low end as well as significantly extend the Q{sup 2} range. The results are compared to conv… more

Quantum size effects in classical hadrodynamics

Description: The author discusses future directions in the development of classical hydrodynamics for extended nucleons, corresponding to nucleons of finite size interacting with massive meson fields. This new theory provides a natural covariant microscopic approach to relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions that includes automatically spacetime nonlocality and retardation, nonequilibrium phenomena, interactions among all nucleons, and particle production. The present version of the theory includes only the… more

Multiwire proportional chamber spectrometer for nucleon--nucleon experiments

Description: A flexible low resolution spectrometer is being built for a program of experiments to be done at the LAMPF Nucleon Physics Lab. The bend angle of charged particles through an 18D36 magnet will be determined by multiwire proportional chambers (MWPC) with 2-mm wire spacing. The general design of the chambers and of the associated electronics for readout and encoding are discussed. Some results obtained with a prototype system are given. (auth)

The nuclear Thomas-Fermi model

Description: The statistical Thomas-Fermi model is applied to a comprehensive survey of macroscopic nuclear properties. The model uses a Seyler-Blanchard effective nucleon-nucleon interaction, generalized by the addition of one momentum-dependent and one density-dependent term. The adjustable parameters of the interaction were fitted to shell-corrected masses of 1654 nuclei, to the diffuseness of the nuclear surface and to the measured depths of the optical model potential. With these parameters nuclear siz… more

Fermi Large Area Telescope Observations of the Cygnus Loop Supernova Remnant

Description: We present an analysis of the gamma-ray measurements by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in the region of the supernova remnant (SNR) Cygnus Loop (G74.0-8.5). We detect significant gamma-ray emission associated with the SNR in the energy band 0.2-100 GeV. The gamma-ray spectrum shows a break in the range 2-3 GeV. The gamma-ray luminosity is {approx} 1 x 10{sup 33} erg s{sup -1} between 1-100 GeV, much lower than those of other GeV-emitting SNRs. The mor… more

Nucleon-nucleon interactions

Description: Nucleon-nucleon interactions are at the heart of nuclear physics, bridging the gap between QCD and the effective interactions appropriate for the shell model. We discuss the current status of {ital NN} data sets, partial-wave analyses, and some of the issues that go into the construction of potential models. Our remarks are illustrated by reference to the Argonne {ital v}{sub 18} potential, one of a number of new potentials that fit elastic nucleon-nucleon data up to 350 MeV with a {Chi}{sup 2}… more

There might be two kinds of dibaryon

Description: A new quark potential model, the quark delocalization and color screening model, is used for a systematic search of dibaryon candidates in the u, d and s three flavor world. The color screening results from unquenched lattice gauge calculations and quark delocalization similar to electron delocalization in molecular physics are included. Flavor symmetry breaking and channel coupling effects are studied. The model is constrained not only by the baryon ground state property but also by the N-N sc… more

No-lost ``Theorem`` for parity violating nucleon-nucleon scattering experiments

Description: A purely left-chiral model of the weak interactions is used to show that the total parity-violating asymmetry in quark-quark scattering must grow with increasing energy. In the absence of other new physics, non-observation of a large asymmetry can therefore be used to infer an upper bound on the mass scale for new right-chiral weak vector bosons. Applying this idea to actual nucleon-nucleon scattering requires more involved calculations, as the dominant contribution appears to come from a compo… more

Interactions of Antiprotons in Hydrogen, Beryllium, and Carbon

Description: To determine the nature of the interactions between antinucleons and nucleons, it has been necessary to do an experiment in which the elastic, inelastic, and charge-exchange interactions could be measured. Improvements in the 6-Bev Bevatron have permitted production of a considerably larger flux of antiprotons, than was available in earlier studies. With the use of strong-focusing magnetic quadrupoles, a crossed electric- and magnetic-field spectrometer, and time-of-flight scintillation counter… more

Resonances in the {Sigma}NN system

Description: We first review certain unique aspects of few-body {Alpha}- hypernuclei and then explore the physics of {summation} threshold in few-body elastic scattering and reactions. In particular, we discuss a predicted enhancement in the {Alpha}d cross section near the {summation}NN threshold in terms of poles in the {Tau}=0YNN amplitude. A brief discussion of anticipated poles in the {Tau}=1 amplitudes is also given.

A polarized look at nucleons: Laser electron gamma source

Description: As the title suggests we are going to look at reactions induced on nucleons by polarized photons. The results I am going to show today are from the Laser Electron Gamma Source, or ``LEGS`` facility, at Brookhaven National Laboratory. At LEGS, gamma ray beams are produced by backscattering laser light from relativistic electrons. I will only summarize the main characteristics of this facility, and leave an in depth description to Dr. Schaerf who will discuss LEGS and other similar backscattering… more

Ab initio shell model with a chiral-symmetry-based three-nucleon force for the p-shell nuclei

Description: The ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) is extended to include a realistic three-body interaction in calculations for p-shell nuclei. They present results of first applications using the Argonne V8' nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential and the Tucson-Melbourne TM'(99) three-nucleon interaction (TNI). In addition to increase of binding energy, they observe a trend toward level-ordering and level-spacing improvement in comparison to experiment. With the TNI they obtain a correct ground-state spin for … more

A neutron beam polarizer for study of parity violation in neutron-nucleus interactions

Description: A dynamically-polarized proton target operating at 5 Tesla and 1 K has been built to polarize an epithermal neutron beam for studies of parity violation in compound-nuclear resonances. Nearly 0.9 proton polarization was obtained in an electron-beam irradiated ammonia target. This was used to produce a neutron beam polarization of 0.7 at epithermal energies. The combination of the polarized proton target and the LANSCE spallation neutron source produces the most intense pulsed polarized epitherm… more

Particle-production mechanism in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Description: We discuss the production of particles in relativistic heavy-ion collisions through the mechanism of massive bremsstrahlung, in which massive mesons are emitted during rapid nucleon acceleration. This mechanism is described within the framework of classical hadrodynamics for extended nucleons, corresponding to nucleons of finite size interacting with massive meson fields. This new theory provides a natural covariant microscopic approach to relativistic heavy-ion collisions that includes automat… more
