在OLYMPUS实验上精确测量e+p/e-p弹性散射截面比

A precision measurement of the e+p/e-p elastic scattering cross section ratio at the OLYMPUS experiment

摘要:

质子弹性形状因子($μ_pG_E/G_M$)的比率的测量使用Rosenbluth分离和那些使用基于偏振的技术显示出强烈的差异,这一直坚持在现代实验结果和重新分析以前的数据。解释这种差异的最广泛接受的假设是在Rosenbluth分离测量的辐射校正中处理硬双光子交换(TPE)对弹性电子-质子散射的贡献。硬TPE贡献的计算是高度依赖于模型的,但效果可以通过精确确定正电子-质子和电子-质子弹性散射截面的比率来实验测量。奥林巴斯实验于2012年在DESY的DORIS储存环收集了大约4 fb的$^{-1}$和\ep散射数据,目的是在2.01 GeV的固定轻子束能量下测量运动学范围$(0.4 \leq ε\leq 0.9)$,$(0.6 \leq Q^2 \leq 2.2)$ GeV $^2/c^2$上的弹性\ratio比。奥林巴斯实验的探测器由贝兹大型接收光谱仪环形线圈(BLAST)的翻新元件组成,围绕内部气态氢目标,并增加了多个系统用于监测实验收集的光度。一个详细的模拟实验的开发,以考虑辐射校正和各种系统的影响。这项工作提出了初步的结果,从奥林巴斯的数据,表明弹性\ratio的比例上升到百分之几,在$ε\approx 0.4$,并表示显着的贡献,从TPE \pmp散射。此外,在$ε=0.98$处测量\ratio的值达到了前所未有的精度,这为其他实验数据提供了有价值的标准化点。

英文摘要:

Measurements of the ratio of the proton elastic form factors ($μ_pG_E/G_M$) using Rosenbluth separation and those using polarization-based techniques show a strong discrepancy, which has persisted both in modern experimental results and in re-analyses of previous data. The most widely accepted hypothesis to explain this discrepancy is the treatment of the contributions from hard two-photon exchange (TPE) to elastic electron-proton scattering in the radiative corrections applied to the Rosenbluth separation measurements. Calculations of the hard TPE contribution are highly model dependent, but the effect may be measured experimentally with a precise determination of the ratio of the positron-proton and electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections. The OLYMPUS experiment collected approximately 4 fb$^{-1}$ of \pp and \ep scattering data at the DORIS storage ring at DESY in 2012, with the goal of measuring the elastic \ratio ratio over the kinematic range $(0.4 \leq ε\leq 0.9)$, $(0.6 \leq Q^2 \leq 2.2)$ GeV$^2/c^2$ at a fixed lepton beam energy of 2.01 GeV. The detector for the OLYMPUS experiment consisted of refurbished elements of the Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid (BLAST) surrounding an internal gaseous hydrogen target, with the addition of multiple systems for the monitoring of the luminosity collected by the experiment. A detailed simulation of the experiment was developed to account for both radiative corrections and various systematic effects. This work presents preliminary results from the OLYMPUS data, demonstrating that the elastic \ratio ratio rises to several percent at $ε\approx 0.4$ and indicating a significant contribution from TPE to \pmp scattering. Additionally, the value of \ratio has been measured to unprecedented precision at $ε=0.98$, which provides a valuable normalization point for other experimental data.
