  1. The PAX Experiment 178 Collaborators 36 institutions (15 EU, 21 NON-EU) Spokespersons: Paolo Lenisa lenisa@mail.desy.de Frank Rathmann f.rathmann@fz-juelich.de dr. Paolo Lenisa Università di Ferrara and INFN - ITALY PBAR@FAIR Workshop Darmstadt, Dec. 03 2007 The PAX Experiment

  2. Evaluation by QCD-PAC (March 2005) … the PAC would like to stress again the uniqueness of the program with polarized anti-protons and polarized protons that could become available at GSI. Recommendation of the STI of FAIR (Sept. 2005) • The STI requests R&D work to be continued on the proposed asymmetric collider experiment with both polarized anti-protons and protons: • to demonstrate that the required luminosity for decisive measurements can be reached (->accomplished) - to demonstrate that a high degree of anti-proton polarisation can be reached • The STI believes that PAX should become part of the FAIR core research program based on its strong scientific merit once the open problems are convincingly solved. The PAX Experiment

  3. Physics with Polarized Antiprotons The PAX Experiment

  4. Study of the proton spin h1= Quark structure of the nucleon unpolarised quarks and nucleons longitudinally polarised quarks and nucleons transversely polarised quarks and nucleons Only glimpse Well known Known The PAX Experiment

  5. transversely polarised quarks and nucleons Transversity • Probes relativistic nature of quarks • No gluon analog for spin-1/2 nucleon • Different evolution than • Sensitive to valence quark polarization h1 is chirally odd -> it needs a chirally odd partner Inclusive DIS Semi-inclusive DIS Drell-Yan HERMES,COMPASS,JLab The PAX Experiment

  6. M invariant Mass of lepton pair Inclusive DIS Semi-inclusive DIS Drell-Yan h1 from Drell-Yan The PAX Experiment

  7. s=200 GeV2 The PAX proposal (phase II) EXPERIMENT: Asymmetric collider: polarized protons in HESR (p=15 GeV/c) polarized antiprotons in CSR (p=3.5 GeV/c) The PAX Experiment

  8. 1year run: 10 % precision on the h1u(x) in the valence region Pp=30% Pp=10% Anselmino et al. PLB 594,97 (2004) Similar predictions by Efremov et al., Eur. Phys. J. C35, 207 (2004) h1 from p-p Drell-Yan at PAX • u-dominance • |h1u|>|h1d| PAX : M2/s=x1x2~0.02-0.3 valence quarks (ATTlarge ~ 0.2-0.3) First direct measurement of h1 No competitive processes The PAX Experiment

  9. Study of the Proton Electromagnetic Form-Factors Rosenbluth Polarization Space-Like FFs: proton data Time-Like FFs: proton data • JLab results dramatically changed picture of the Nucleon: • GEp/GMp decreases with Q2 • data suggest GEpcrosses 0 at Q28 GeV2 The PAX Experiment

  10. Study of the Proton Electromagnetic Form-Factors Rosenbluth Polarization Space-Like FFs: proton data Time-Like FFs: proton data • JLab results dramatically changed picture of the Nucleon: • GEp/GMp decreases with Q2 • data suggest GEpcrosses 0 at Q28 GeV2 Expected Q2 behaviour reached quite early, however ... ... there is still a factor of 2 between timelike and spacelike. Additional direct measurement needed The PAX Experiment

  11. The PAX proposal - Phase I EXPERIMENT: Fixed target experiment: polarized antiprotons protons in CSR (p>200 MeV/c) fixed polarized protons target The PAX Experiment

  12. Double polarized pbar-p annihilation E. Tomasi, F. Lacroix, C. Duterte, G.I. Gakh, EPJA 24, 419(2005) • Most contain mduli GE, GM • Independent GE-GM separation • Test of Rosenbluth separation in the time-like region • Access to GE-GM phase • Very sensitive to different models The PAX Experiment

  13. (Single Spin Asymmetry) A. Z. Dubnickova et al. Nuovo Cimento A109, 241 (1996) S.J. Brodsky et al. PRD 69, 054022 (2004) • Single-spin asymmetry in pp → e+e- • Measurement of relative phases of magnetic and electric FF in the time-like region - Also sensitive to different models The PAX Experiment

  14. Estimated signal: PAX-Phase I EXPERIMENT: Fixed target experiment (+ asymmetric collider): Npbar = 1x1011 f=LCSR/bc dt=1x1014cm-2 Q=0.8 (p pol) P=0.3 (pbar pol) e=0.5 ppbar>200 MeV/c s>3.76 GeV2 Running days to get DO = 0.05 The PAX Experiment

  15. P Beam Target Hard p-p polarized scattering T=10.85 GeV “The greatest asymmetries in hadron physics ever seen by a human being” (Brodsky) D.G. Crabb et al., PRL 41, 1257 (1978) “One of the unsolved mysteries of hadron physics”(Brodsky, 2005) It would be very interesting to perform these measurements with polarized antiprotons.
