  1. Polarization Observables and Hadron Structure (1) Egle Tomasi-GustafssonSaclay, France Egle Tomasi-Gustafsson Gomel, July 31, 2007

  2. MOTIVATIONS • In the traditional view, the atom’s nucleus appears as a cluster of nucleons - protons and neutrons. A deeper view reveals quarks and gluons inside the nucleons. • CEBAF’s continuous, energetic beams of probing electrons let physicists examine how the two view fit together. Ultimately, the process of bridging the views will yield a complete understanding of nuclear matter…. 2002…. Istitutional plan Egle Tomasi-Gustafsson Gomel, July 31, 2007 Istitutional plan

  6. Hadron Electromagnetic Form factors • Characterize the internal structure of a particle ( point-like) • Elastic form factors contain information on the hadron ground state. • In a P- and T-invariant theory, the EM structure of a particle of spin S is defined by 2S+1 form factors. • Neutron and protonform factors are different. • Deuteron: 2 structure functions, but 3 form factors. • Playground for theory and experiment. Egle Tomasi-Gustafsson Gomel, July 31, 2007

  7. Space-like and time-like regions • FFs are analytical functions. • In framework of one photon exchange, FFs are functions of the momentum transfer squared of the virtual photon, t. t<0 t>0 Scattering Annihilation _ _ e- + h => e- + h e+ + e- => h+ h Form factors are real in the space-like region and complex in the time-like region.

  11. Dipole Approximation • Classical approach • Nucleon FF (in the Breit system) are Fourier transform of the charge or magnetic distribution. Dipole approximation: GD=(1+Q2/0.71 GeV2)-2 • The dipole approximation corresponds to an exponential density distribution. • ρ = ρ0exp(-r/r0), • r02= (0.24 fm)2, <r2> ~(0.81 fm) 2  m2D=0.71 GeV2 Egle Tomasi-Gustafsson Gomel, July 31, 2007
