  1. Results from the G0 Measurement • Parity-violating electron scattering from the nucleon • Hydrogen and deuterium targets • Strange quark contributions to electromagnetic form factors Colleen Ellis, University of Maryland • 1988 Kaplan and Manohar—sea quark contributions to ground state nucleon properties, • i.e. spin, charge, and magnetic movements from neutral weak probes ( νN scattering) • 1989 McKeown then Beck outlined a PVES program that could measure strange quark • contributions to the proton’s charge and magnetism. D.Kaplan and A.V. Manohar, Nucl. Phys. B310, 527 (1988) R.D. McKeown, Phys Lett. B219, 140 (1989) D.H. Beck, Phys. Rev. D39, 3248 (1989)

  2. Parity Violating elastic e-N scattering charge symmetry Access via form factors: contribution to nucleon charge and magnetism Q2 behavior well-understood Measured in G0

  3. Parity Violating elastic e-N Form Factors PV asymmetries from EM and weak interference terms can be varied between zero and unity for a fixed Q2 by varying the beam energy and electron scattering angle. Two kinematics, two targets gives 3 linear combinations of EM and weak form factors

  4. + + Axial form factor seen by PV electron scattering (hFAg+ Re) at Q2=0 computed by Zhu etal, PRD 62 (2000) 033008 SAMPLE deuterium asymmetry data agree well but Q2 behavior is not well constrained slide thanks to E. Beise

  5. Asymmetries to Form Factors • Electromagnetic form factors: Kelly (PRC70 (2004)) • does not include new low Q2 data from BLAST or JLab • eventually use new fits (Arrington & Melnitchouk for p, Arrington & Sick for n) • differences in fits become 0.5 – 1 % in the asymmetry • also used in Schiavilla calculation for D • (see Diaconescu, Schiavilla & van Kolck, PRC 63 (2001) 044007) • Two-boson exchange corrections to Asymmetry: 0.5 -1.2% • (see Tjon, Blunden & Melnitchouk, arXiv:0903.2759v1)

  16. Experimental “Physics” Asymmetries all entries in ppm Largest correction is due to the 85% beam polarization --dominates H systematic uncertainties --for D-687, contributes about equally with rate corrections to the systematic uncertainty

  21. Elastic Region: G0 Inelastic Region: N D G0: N→  • Measurement: Parity-violating asymmetry of electrons scattered inelastically • ANΔ gives direct access to GANΔ • Directly measure the axial (intrinsic spin) response during N →Δ+ transition • Will find GANΔ over a range of Q2 • 0.05 GeV/c2 < Q2 < 0.5 GeV/c2. • First measurement in neutral current process • Data: Inelastic electrons measured by G0 • Scattered from both LH2 and LD2, each at two energies (362MeV & 687MeV) IN Asymmetry (ppm) vs Octant (LH2 @ 687MeV) OUT Asymmetry (ppm) BLINDED Octant Raw Asymmetry (averaged over inelastic region)

  22. Transverse Asymmetry 2 photon exchange Inclusion of the real part of the 2γ exchange in the cross section may account for the difference between measurements of GE/GM from unpolarized cross section and polarization transfer measurements It also tests the theoretical framework that calculates the contribution of γZ and W+W- box diagrams that are important corrections to precision electroweak measurements

  23. Asymmetry Uncertainties--Hydrogen, 687 MeV

  24. Asymmetry Uncertainties--Deuterium, 687 MeV

Correction due to misidentified pions • 3 Ways to calculate • runs with special beam structure providing timing reference allowing particle TOF • PMT Multiplicity (two versus three of the cerenkovPMT’s firing) • Pulse heights (waveform digitized) cerenkov detector 4 pmts 687 MeV red: pions blue: electrons counts aerogel p- contamination to electron yield (Ap~ 0) D 362: 0.5% D 687: 4% # single photo electrons threshold 25

  26. D asymmetries: Calculation provided by Rocco Schiavilla (see Diaconescu, Schiavilla & van Kolck, PRC 63 (2001) 044007) absorbs isoscalar axial term broken down by isospin

  27. Quasielastic PV (ee’) in Deuterium Use Quasielastic scattering from deuterium as lever arm for GAe(Q2) Parity conserving nuclear corrections to the asymmetry are generally small, 1-3% at backward angles. Calculation provided to us by R. Schiavilla includes final state interactions and 2-body effects. Diaconescu, Schiavilla + van Kolck, PRC 63 (2001) 044007 Schiavilla, Carlson + Paris, PRC 67 (2003) 032501 See also Hadjimichael, Poulis + Donnelly, PRC45 (1992) 2666 Schramm + Horowitz, PRC 49 (1994) 2777 Kuster + Arenhovel, NPA 626 (1997) 911 Liu, Prezeau, + Ramsey-Musolf, PRC 67 (2003) 035501 E. Beise, U Maryland

  28. Deuterium model comparison to cross section data calculation from R. Schiavilla see also R.S., J. Carlson, and M. Paris, PRC70, 044007 (2004). • AV18 NN potential • relativistic kinematics • J.J. Kelly fit to nucleon • form factors data from: S. Dytman, et al., Phys. Rev. C 38, 800 (1988) B. Quinn, et al., Phys. Rev. C 37, 1609 (1988) E. Beise, U Maryland

  29. 2-body effects in the D asymmetry calculations from R. Schiavilla, see also R.S., J. Carlson, and M. Paris, PRC70, 044007 (2004). leading term of the asymmetry axial form factor coefficient has ~15% correction from 2-body effects E. Beise, U Maryland

  30. Scaler Counting Issue with Electronics • Electronics sorts detector coincidences (CEDi and FPDj) into separate scaler channels • FPGA-based system in North American electronics (4 octants) • Because of error in FPGA programming, two short (~3 ns) pulses could be sent to scaler in < 7 ns • ~ 1% of events have such miscounts • Such pulse pairs can cause scaler to drop or add bits • Detailed simulation of ASIC with propagation delays between (flip flop) elements • Effect on asymmetry is <0.01 Aphys • Test by cutting data; compare with French octants Data Simulation 30
