摘要:

GEp-III和GEp-2 $γ$实验于2007年至2008年在杰斐逊实验室(JLab's)C厅进行,以将$G_E^p/G_M^p$的知识扩展到实际可实现的最高$Q^2$,并在弹性$\vec{e}p$散射的偏振转移观测值中寻找超出玻恩近似的影响。本文报告了对常见实验装置和数据分析程序的扩展描述,以及对两个实验数据的最终再分析结果,包括GEp-2 $γ$实验完全验收数据的先前未发表的结果。Hall C高动量光谱仪检测并测量了JLab极化电子束与液氢靶碰撞后弹性反冲的质子的极化。一个大接受电磁量能器检测到的弹性散射电子的一致性,以抑制非弹性背景。最终的GEP-III数据与最初公布的结果相比基本没有变化。相对于原始出版物,最终GEp-2 $γ$数据的统计不确定性在$ε= 0.632$和$0.783$中显著降低。$G_E^p/G_M^p$随$Q^2$的减少持续到$Q^2 = 8.5$ GeV $^2$,但相对于在早期Hall A测量中观察到的近似线性减少,以较慢的速率减少。在$Q^2 = 2.5$ GeV $^2$下,质子形状因子比$G_E^p/G_M^p$没有显示出统计学上显著的$ε$依赖性,正如玻恩近似中所预期的那样。纵向偏振传输分量与其玻恩值的比率$P_\ell/P_\ell^{Born}$显示出在$ε= 0.783$处相对于$ε= 0.149$的大约1.4\%的增强,其中$\approx 1.9σ$显著性基于总不确定性,这意味着在横向分量$P_t$中抵消比率$R$的类似效应。

英文摘要:

The GEp-III and GEp-2$γ$ experiments were carried out in Jefferson Lab's (JLab's) Hall C from 2007-2008, to extend the knowledge of $G_E^p/G_M^p$ to the highest practically achievable $Q^2$ and to search for effects beyond the Born approximation in polarization transfer observables of elastic $\vec{e}p$ scattering. This article reports an expanded description of the common experimental apparatus and data analysis procedure, and the results of a final reanalysis of the data from both experiments, including the previously unpublished results of the full-acceptance data of the GEp-2$γ$ experiment. The Hall C High Momentum Spectrometer detected and measured the polarization of protons recoiling elastically from collisions of JLab's polarized electron beam with a liquid hydrogen target. A large-acceptance electromagnetic calorimeter detected the elastically scattered electrons in coincidence to suppress inelastic backgrounds. The final GEp-III data are largely unchanged relative to the originally published results. The statistical uncertainties of the final GEp-2$γ$ data are significantly reduced at $ε= 0.632$ and $0.783$ relative to the original publication. The decrease with $Q^2$ of $G_E^p/G_M^p$ continues to $Q^2 = 8.5$ GeV$^2$, but at a slowing rate relative to the approximately linear decrease observed in earlier Hall A measurements. At $Q^2 = 2.5$ GeV$^2$, the proton form factor ratio $G_E^p/G_M^p$ shows no statistically significant $ε$-dependence, as expected in the Born approximation. The ratio $P_\ell/P_\ell^{Born}$ of the longitudinal polarization transfer component to its Born value shows an enhancement of roughly 1.4\% at $ε= 0.783$ relative to $ε= 0.149$, with $\approx 1.9σ$ significance based on the total uncertainty, implying a similar effect in the transverse component $P_t$ that cancels in the ratio $R$.
