准实光生中λ和λ-杆超子的横向极化
Transverse Polarization of Lambda and Lambda-bar Hyperons in Quasireal Photoproduction
摘要:
HERMES实验测量了能量为27.6 GeV的正电子束在准真实光生过程中产生的λ和λ-棒超子的横向极化。发现超子的横向极化是正的,而所观察到的超子的横向极化与零相容。在HERMES的运动学可接受范围内,对λ超子和λ-bar超子的横向极化平均值分别为0.078 +/- 0.006(stat)+/- 0.012(syst)和-0.025 +/- 0.015(stat)+/- 0.018(syst)。研究了超子携带的光束光锥动量的分数$ζ$和超子的横动量$p_T$对λ和λ杆偏振的影响。测量的λ偏振与$p_T$线性上升,并表现出不同的行为为低和高值的$ζ$,这大致对应于向后和向前的区域中的中心的质量框架的$γ^*N$反应。
英文摘要:
The HERMES experiment has measured the transverse polarization of Lambda and Lambda-bar hyperons produced inclusively in quasireal photoproduction at a positron beam energy of 27.6 GeV. The transverse polarization of the Lambda hyperon is found to be positive while the observed Lambda-bar polarization is compatible with zero. The transverse polarization values averaged over the kinematic acceptance of HERMES are 0.078 +/- 0.006(stat) +/- 0.012(syst) and -0.025 +/- 0.015(stat) +/- 0.018(syst) for Lambda and Lambda-bar hyperons, respectively. The dependences of Lambda and Lambda-bar polarizations on the fraction $ζ$ of the beam's light-cone momentum carried by the hyperon and on the hyperon's transverse momentum $p_T$ were investigated. The measured Lambda polarization rises linearly with $p_T$ and exhibits a different behavior for low and high values of $ζ$, which approximately correspond to the backward and forward regions in the center-of-mass frame of the $γ^*N$ reaction.
