利用$e^+/e^-$电荷不对称性测量弹性核散射中的双光子交换

Measuring two photon exchange in elastic nuclear scattering with $e^+/e^-$ charge asymmetries

Tyler Kutz, Axel Schmidt

摘要:

核$β$衰变的测量通常用于提取夸克混合Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa(CKM)矩阵的元素。这些测量的精度目前受到由所谓的箱形图引起的电弱辐射校正(EWRC)的理论不确定性的限制,箱形图涉及两个规范玻色子的交换。双光子交换(TPE)是实验上最容易实现的过程,使其成为对用于计算EWRC的理论框架提供约束的自然选择。弹性$e^+/e^-$散射之间的横截面不对称性对此直接敏感,因为TPE对截面的贡献对于电子和正电子具有相反的符号。虽然对质子靶进行了电荷不对称测量,但对核靶却没有这样的数据。这里提出的是一个测量的$e^+/e^-$电荷不对称性的各种核相关的$β$ -衰变测量用于CKM矩阵提取。通过这些过程确定TPE的尺寸可以为EWRC提供重要的限制。

英文摘要:

Measurements of nuclear $β$-decay are commonly used to extract elements of the quark-mixing Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. The precision of these measurements is currently limited by theoretical uncertainties in electroweak radiative corrections (EWRC) arising from so-called box diagrams, which involve the exchange of two gauge bosons. Two photon exchange (TPE) is the most experimentally accessible of such processes, making it a natural choice for providing constraints on the theoretical frameworks used for calculating EWRC. The cross section asymmetry between elastic $e^+/e^-$ scattering is directly sensitive to this, as the TPE contribution to the cross section has opposite sign for electrons and positrons. While charge asymmetry measurements have been performed on proton targets, no such data exists for nuclear targets. Proposed here is a measurement of the $e^+/e^-$ charge asymmetry on various nuclei relevant to $β$-decay measurements used for CKM matrix extraction. Determining the size of TPE through these processes can provide important constraints on EWRC.
