Feasibility study for the measurement of N transition distribution amplitudes with PANDA
No full textInternational audienceTransition Distribution Amplitudes (TDA) are parametrizations of the hadronic matrix elements that occur in the perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) calculations of a certain family of reactions within the framework of collinear factorization. We propose a complete feasibility study of the measurement of one of the reactions covered by the TDA models p¯p→π0J/ψ(J/ψ→e+e−)at PANDA (AntiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt) experiment currently under construction at the future FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research). We show that PANDA will be ideally suited to access the relevant observables, in particular the pion-to-nucleon TDAs (πN TDAs) which are important for the understanding of the pion cloud contribution in the nucleonwave function
Feasibility studies for nucleon structure measurements with PANDA
No full textThe study of nucleon structure is one of the main physics goals of PANDA to be built at the FAIR accelerator complex. The excellent particle identification performance of the PANDA detector will enable measurements of exclusive channels p̄ p → e+e− and p̄ p → π0 J/ψ → π0e+e− to extract the electromagnetic form factors of protons and π-nucleon Transition Distribution Amplitudes (π-N TDAs). After a brief description of the PANDA apparatus and a method to handle momentum resolution degradation due to Bremsstrahlung, the physics of π-N TDAs is discussed. An estimate for the expected signal to background ratio for p̄ p → π0 J/ψ → π0e+e− that takes into account the main background source is given

Feasibility studies of time-like proton electromagnetic form factors at PANDA at FAIR
No full textInternational audienceSimulation results for future measurements of electromagnetic proton form factors at PANDA (FAIR) within the PandaRoot software framework are reported. The statistical precision with which the proton form factors can be determined is estimated. The signal channel (p) over barp -> e(+)e(-) is studied on the basis of two different but consistent procedures. The suppression of the main background channel, i.e. (p) over barp -> pi(+)pi(-), is studied. Furthermore, the background versus signal efficiency, statistical and systematical uncertainties on the extracted proton form factors are evaluated using two different procedures. The results are consistent with those of a previous simulation study using an older, simplified framework. However, a slightly better precision is achieved in the PandaRoot study in a large range of momentum transfer, assuming the nominal beam conditions and detector performance

No full textInclusive ee production in collisions of pions with protons and nuclei in the second resonance region of baryons
No full textInclusive ee production has been studied with HADES in + p,
+ C and reactions, using the GSI pion beam at
= 1.49 GeV. Invariant mass and transverse momentum
distributions have been measured and reveal contributions from Dalitz decays of
, mesons and baryon resonances. The transverse momentum
distributions are very sensitive to the underlying kinematics of the various
processes. The baryon contribution exhibits a deviation up to a factor seven
from the QED reference expected for the dielectron decay of a hypothetical
point-like baryon with the production cross section constrained from the
inverse n p reaction. The enhancement is attributed
to a strong four-momentum squared dependence of the time-like electromagnetic
transition form factors as suggested by Vector Meson Dominance (VMD). Two
versions of the VMD, that differ in the photon-baryon coupling, have been
applied in simulations and compared to data. VMD1 (or two-component VMD)
assumes a coupling via the meson and a direct coupling of the photon,
while in VMD2 (or strict VMD) the coupling is only mediated via the
meson. The VMD2 model, frequently used in transport calculations for dilepton
decays, is found to overestimate the measured dielectron yields, while a good
description of the data can be obtained with the VMD1 model assuming no phase
difference between the two amplitudes. Similar descriptions have also been
obtained using a time-like baryon transition form factor model where the pion
cloud plays the major role.Comment: (HADES collaboration
Low-momentum direct-photon measurement in Cu + Cu collisions at sNN =200 GeV

We measured direct photons for pT\u3c5GeV/c in minimum bias and 0%-40% most-central events at midrapidity for Cu+Cu collisions at sNN=200GeV. The e+e- contribution from quasireal direct virtual photons has been determined as an excess over the known hadronic contributions in the e+e- mass distribution. A clear enhancement of photons over the binary scaled p+p fit is observed for pT\u3c4GeV/c in Cu+Cu data. The pT spectra are consistent with the Au+Au data covering a similar number of participants. The inverse slopes of the exponential fits to the excess after subtraction of the p+p baseline are 285±53(stat)±57(syst)MeV/c and 333±72(stat)±45(syst)MeV/c for minimum bias and 0%-40% most-central events, respectively. The rapidity density, dN/dy, of photons demonstrates the same power law as a function of dNch/dη observed in Au+Au at the same collision energy
