g10: unpolarized γs on deuterium

New experiment was approved by JLAB PAC24, June 2003. Run took place March – May 2004.

Goals – search for the Θ+ pentaquark in the γd interactions : increase published statistics by x10;Θ+ mass determination with 2 MeV accuracy;

Run conditions: Tagged photons in the energy range from 0.8 to 3.59 GeV; Target – 24 cm long liquid deuterium; Trigger – two charged particles in CLAS.

Two settings of CLAS toroidal magnet: IT=2250 A and 3375 A. At each setting integrated luminosity ~25pb-1 (10 times higher than in published deuterium data).

Special measurements for Hall B tagged photon beam energy calibration.

Summary for g13 (for PAC30 Presentation)

We propose to measureγd → N*(N) → KY(N) channelsusing linearly and circularly polarized photons and an LD2 targetwith high statistics, good kinematic coverage, and low background.

The main goal is to find evidence for or against the existence of “missing” nucleon resonances.

Our approach is based on coupled-channels analysis, required for reliable N* extraction.

High-statistics studies of Y-N, Y*-N, and K-N rescattering will reduce the systematic uncertainties and provide insight into the hyperon –nucleon interaction.

The experiment is ready to run. [g13 began on 27 Oct 2006]

Helicity amplitudes can be decomposed into partial waves.

Combinations of the helicity amplitudes will serve as constraints for the PWA fits.

Experimental Research Program

Discovery potential: Hunt for nucleon resonances with BES and hone in on the dynamic structure with CLAS.

The low-background nucleon resonance production in J/Ψ baryon-antibaryondecays is isospin selective and probes the on-shell structure of the hadrons; offering a unique sensitivity and thus guidance in the search for resonance signals.

Beam-, target-, and recoil-polarization observables and transition form factors accessible at JLab will provide hitherto inaccessible detailed information about resonance properties.

Measurements with the Beijing Spectrometer (BES) at Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) complements those with CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab).

Nucleon Resonance Analysis ProgramThis PIRE program will provide the framework to explore the relation between IHEP´s PWA and EBAC´s dynamical analyses.

The analysis of both BES and JLab data with very different and unique background contributions, will be indispensable for us to develop refined theoretical tools to extract complementary resonance production amplitudes.

These empirical amplitudes also contribute important information to the dynamical coupled-channel analyses, which are being carried out at Excited Baryon Analysis Center (EBAC) at JLab, aiming at developing theoretical interpretations of the extracted nucleon resonance parameters in terms of QCD-inspired hadron models and Lattice QCD.

These are combinations of the 4 complex amplitudes which describe the reaction.

Non-independent. ie we don’t need to measure them all.

Require >= 8 observables from 3 classes (classes = single, BT, TR, BR)

CLAS will have: linearly + circulary polarized photons, longitudinal + transverse target polarization, recoil polarization (hyperons are self analysing)

A complete measurement is in our sights.
