pT Dependence (2) Neutron with charged particles
Discussion • Observed AN is larger for largers • Can be interpreted as pT dependence pT ~ (s/2)・xF・q (Note: AN = 0 at pT = 0) • On the other hand, xF dependence was not seen. • Same tendency was observed with and without coincident particles in BBC (3.0 < |h| < 3.9), though the amplitude is slightly different
Comparison with model (1) • OPE model calculationfailed to reproduce • No sign change • There must be somethingbeyond simple OPE • Other reggeons? xF = 0.6~0.9 pT (GeV/c) B.Z. Kopeliovich et al.arXiv:0807.1449
Comparison with model (2) • Pion-a1 interference • Good agreement withdata • Interference btwspin flip/non-flip small amplitude can make big difference • Kopeliovich et al., PRD 84 (2011) 114012. • Also in Soffer’s talk in this workshop
Summary & Perspective • Neutron AN near 0 degree • s and pT dependence were measured • Significant s and pT dependence was observed, while no xF dependence was seen • s dependence can be understood as pT dependence • One pion exchange model expects AN~0 around the pT region • Can be explained by other reggeons, such as a1 • Interference sensitive to small amplitudes • Need data for higher pT • AN∝ pT is inevitable in low pT • At which pT is AN maximum?
s dependence backward forward • Neutron with charged particles
