Nys Categories: nucl-ex Comments: 6 pages, 6 figures, Submitted to Physical Review Letters Report-no: JLAB-PHY-17-2403 \\ We report measurements of the photon beam asymmetry $\Sigma$ for the reactions $\vec{\gamma}p\to p\pi^0$ and $\vec{\gamma}p\to p\eta $ from the GlueX experiment using a 9 GeV linearly polarized, tagged photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target in Jefferson Lab's Hall D. The asymmetries, measured as a function of the proton momentum transfer, possess greater precision than previous $\pi^0$ measurements and are the first $\eta$ measurements in this energy regime. The results are compared with theoretical predictions based on $t$-channel, quasi-particle exchange and constrain the axial-vector component of the neutral meson production mechanism in these models. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.08123 , 121kb) %-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1701.01141 (*cross-listing*) Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2017 20:07:06 GMT (39kb) Date (revised v2): Wed, 25 Jan 2017 17:32:00 GMT (39kb) Title: Geometric scaling in exclusive production of vector mesons and Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering Authors: F.G. Ben, M.V.T. Machado, W.K. Sauter Categories: hep-ph hep-ex nucl-ex Comments: 6 pages, 2 figures and 2 tables \\ We provide a universal expression of cross sections for the exclusive vector meson production and Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) in photon-proton and photon-nucleus interactions based on the geometric scaling phenomenon. The theoretical parameterization based on the scaling property depends only on the single variable $\tau_A = Q^2/Q_{\mathrm{sat}}^2$, where the saturation scale, $Q_{\mathrm{sat}}$, drives the energy dependence and the corresponding nuclear effects. This phenomenological result describes all available data from DESY-HERA for $\rho,\,\phi,\,J/\psi$ production and DVCS measurements. A discussion on the size of nuclear shadowing corrections on photon-nucleus interaction is also done. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.01141 , 39kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1701.07951 (*cross-listing*) Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2017 05:50:03 GMT (2196kb,D) Title: Full jet in quark-gluon plasma with hydrodynamic medium response Authors: Yasuki Tachibana, Ning-Bo Chang, Guang-You Qin Categories: nucl-th hep-ex hep-ph nucl-ex Comments: 13 pages, 6 figures \\ We study the nuclear modifications of full jets and their structures in relativistic heavy-ion collisions including the effect of hydrodynamic medium response to jet quenching. To study the evolutions of the full jet shower and the traversed medium with energy and momentum exchanges between them, we formulate a coupled jet-fluid model consisting of a set of jet transport equations and relativistic hydrodynamics equations with source terms. In our model, the full jet shower interacts with the medium and gets modified via collisional and radiative processes during the propagation. Meanwhile, the energy and momentum are deposited from the jet shower to the medium and then evolve with the medium hydrodynamically. The full jet defined by a cone size in the final state includes the jet shower and the particles produced from jet-induced flow. We apply our model to calculate the full jet energy loss and the nuclear modifications of jet rate and shape in Pb+Pb collisions at $2.76{\rm A~TeV}$. It is found that the inclusion of jet-induced flow contribution leads to stronger jet-cone size dependence for jet energy loss and jet suppression. Jet-induced flow also has a significant contribution to jet shape function and dominates at large angles away from the jet axis. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.07951 , 2196kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1701.08047 (*cross-listing*) Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2017 13:33:41 GMT (2992kb,D) Title: Top-quark and Higgs boson perspectives at heavy-ion colliders Authors: David d'Enterria Categories: hep-ex hep-ph nucl-ex nucl-th Comments: 4 pages. 3 figures. Proceedings Hard-Probes'16, to appear in 'Nuclear and Particle Physics Proceedings' \\ The perspectives for measuring the top quark and the Higgs boson in nuclear collisions at the LHC and Future Circular Collider (FCC) are summarized. Perturbative QCD calculations at (N)NLO accuracy, including nuclear parton distribution functions, are used to determine their cross sections and visible yields after standard analysis cuts in PbPb and pPb collisions at the LHC ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.5, 8.8 TeV) and FCC ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 39, 63 TeV). In their "cleanest" decay channels, $\rm t\bar{t}\to b\bar{b} 2 \ell 2\nu$ and $\rm H\to \gamma\gamma, 4\ell$, about 10$^3$ ($10^5$) top-quark and 10 (10$^3$) Higgs-boson events are expected at the LHC (FCC) for their total nominal integrated luminosities. Whereas the $\rm t \bar{t}$ observation is clearcut at both colliders, evidence for Higgs production, perfectly possible at the FCC, requires integrating $\times$30 more luminosities at the LHC. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.08047 , 2992kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1701.08066 (*cross-listing*) Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2017 14:39:20 GMT (447kb,D) Title: Deconvolution of the energy loss function of the KATRIN experiment Authors: Volker Hannen, Irina Heese, Anna Sejersen Riis, Kathrin Valerius and Christian Weinheimer Categories: physics.ins-det nucl-ex Comments: 18 pages, 8 figures, accepted for publication in Astroparticle Physics DOI: 10.1016/j.astropartphys.2017.01.010 \\ The KATRIN experiment aims at a direct and model independent determination of the neutrino mass with 0.2 eV/c^2 sensitivity (at 90% C.L.) via a measurement of the endpoint region of the tritium beta-decay spectrum. The main components of the experiment are a windowless gaseous tritium source (WGTS), differential and cryogenic pumping sections and a tandem of a pre- and a main-spectrometer, applying the concept of magnetic adiabatic collimation with an electrostatic retardation potential to analyze the energy of beta decay electrons and to guide electrons passing the filter onto a segmented silicon PIN detector. One of the important systematic uncertainties of such an experiment are due to energy losses of beta-decay electrons by elastic and inelastic scattering off tritium molecules within the source volume which alter the shape of the measured spectrum. To correct for these effects an independent measurement of the corresponding energy loss function is required. In this work we describe a deconvolution method to extract the energy loss function from measurements of the response function of the experiment at different column densities of the WGTS using a monoenergetic electron source. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.08066 , 447kb) %%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%% %%%---%%%---%%%---%%%---%%%---%%%---%%%---%%%---%%%---%%%---%%%---%%%---%%%--- For subscribe options to combined physics archives, e-mail To: physics@arxiv.org, Subject: subscribe ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- For help on viewing and making submissions, see http://arxiv.org/help/
