通过反质子-核电磁湮没研究阈附近质子的类时形状因子

Proton Timelike Form Factors Near Threshold via Antiproton-Nucleus Electromagnetic Annihilation

V. A. Karmanov, H. Fonvieille

摘要:

在反质子-氘核电磁湮灭反应pbar + d -> e+e-n中,即使入射反质子的动量足够大,(e+e-)对的不变质量M值也可以接近或低于(pbar p)质量。这允许在(pbar p)阈值附近的类时区域q ^2中访问质子电磁形状因子。我们估计了反质子束流动量为1.5 GeV/c时的截面dsigma(pbar + d --> e+e-n)/dM。我们发现,在(pbar p)阈值附近,这个截面约为1 pb/MeV。文中还讨论了重核靶的情况。在熊猫项目的背景下,对过程pbar + d --> e+e-n提出了实验可行性的要素。我们的结论是,这一过程有机会在熊猫可衡量。

英文摘要:

In the reaction of the antiproton-deuteron electromagnetic annihilation pbar + d --> e+e-n the value of the invariant mass M of the (e+e-) pair can be near or below the (pbar p) mass even for enough high momentum of incident antiproton. This allows to access the proton electromagnetic form factors in the time-like region of q^2 near the (pbar p) threshold. We estimate the cross section dsigma(pbar + d --> e+e-n)/dM for an antiproton beam momentum of 1.5 GeV/c. We find that near the (pbar p) threshold this cross section is about 1 pb/MeV. The case of heavy nuclei target is also discussed. Elements of experimental feasibility are presented for the process pbar + d --> e+e-n in the context of the Panda project. We conclude that this process has a chance to be measurable at Panda.
