Title: E06-010 / E06-011 Transversity Experiments Overview, Manpower and Safety


1
E06-010 / E06-011 Transversity
Experiments Overview, Manpower and Safety
Readiness Review, March 19, 2007
Spokesperson Jian-Ping Chen, Evaristo Cisbani,
Haiyan Gao, Xiaodong Jiang, Jen-Chieh Peng
  • Goal of the transversity experiments
  • Requirements of the transversity experiments
  • Collaboration and manpower
  • Safety issues

2
Physics Motivation Transversity
  • Remaining frontier of kT independent structure
    functions
  • Connections to many other kT dependent
    distribution and fragmentation functions
  • Major experimental efforts to measure
    transversity using lepton and hadron beams

3
How to measure transversity?
  • Chiral-odd ? not accessible in DIS
  • Require another chiral-odd object
  • Transversely Polarized Drell-Yan
  • Semi-Inclusive DIS
  • Single-hadron (Collins fragmentation function,
    H1-(z))
  • Two hadrons (Interference fragmentation function)
  • Vector meson polarization
  • ? - polarization

4
Leading-Twist Quark Distributions
Semi-inclusive DIS

can access all leading-twist quark distributions

( A total of eight distributions)

Three have no kT dependence
Transversity

The other five are transverse momentum (kT)
dependent (TMD)
Sivers function

Observation of Single-Spin Azimuthal Asymmetry

HERMES
Longitudinally polarized target
ltSTgt 0.15
Origins of the sin(?) azimuthal asymmetry ?
Collins effect Correlation between the quarks
transverse spin with pions pT in the
fragmentation process ? dq(x) H1 - (z). Sivers
effect Correlation between the transverse spin
of the proton with the quarks transverse
momentum ? f1T- (x) D(z). Other higher twist
effects could also contribute.
6
Use transversely polarized hydrogen target to
separate the two effects (Collins vs. Sivers)
Simultaneous fit to sin(? ?s) and sin(? - ?s)
(?s is the azimuthal angle of the target spin)
7
Extraction of Collins functions from the Collins
asymmetry measurements
Fits to the Hermes data
Prediction of the Compass data
( Vogelsang and Yuan, hep-ph/0507266 )

Extraction of Sivers functions from the Sivers
moment measurements
Fits to the Hermes data
Prediction of the Compass data
( Vogelsang and Yuan, hep-ph/0507266 )
Striking flavor dependence of the Sivers function
(Sd -2Su)
9
Opportunities at JLab for transversity experiments
  • High-intensity CW electron beam
  • High-density polarized 3He target which could be
    polarized transversely
  • Probe valence-quark region similar to HERMES
    kinematics, providing complimentary information
    on transversely polarized neutron
  • An independent test of the striking flavor
    structures of Collins and Sivers functions
    observed at HERMES/COMPASS

3He?(e,ep,-)x at Hall-A
  • Beam
  • 6 GeV, 15 ĀµA e- beam
  • Target
  • Optically pumped Rb-K spin-exchange 3He target,
    50 mg/cm2, 42 polarization, transversely
    polarized with tunable direction
  • Electron detection
  • BigBite spectrometer, Solid angle 60 msr, ?Lab
    300
  • Charged pion detection
  • HRS spectrometer, ?Lab -160

11
Kinematic coverage of the electron arm
  • BigBite spectrometer set at ?30 at beam-right
    detecting electrons with 0.5 lt E lt 2.2 GeV.
  • The coverage in Bjorken-x is 0.135 lt x lt
    0.405, corresponding to valence-quark region.
  • For the four x bins, the range of mean-Q2 is 1.3
    lt ltQ2gt lt 3.1 (GeV/c)2.
  • The coverage in W, the invariant mass of the
    hadronic system, is 2.33 lt W lt 3.05 GeV, well
    above the resonances region.

12
Hall-A polarized 3He target
  • 40-cm long Rb-K spin-exchange hybrid cell at 10
    atm with beam current of 15 ĀµA
  • 42 target polarization with spin-flip frequency
    of 20 minutes
  • A third set of Helmholtz coils will be added,
    together with the laser optics, to allow for
    vertical polarization of the 3He target

13
Kinematic coverage of the hadron arm
  • HRSL situated at ? -16 will measure charged
    hadrons with mean momentum p 2.4 GeV/c.
  • The fraction of the virtual photon energy
    carried by the hadron, z Eh/?, is z 0.5 to
    detect leading pion in the current fragmentation
    region.
  • A cut of W gt 1.5 GeV is required to stay away
    from the delta resonance production region.

Summary
  • Significant progress has been made in the
    preparation for the Hall-A transversity
    experiments (Details are presented in later
    talks)
  • The responsibilities of the collaborating
    institutes have been clearly defined. Four Ph.D
    students on the transversity experiments are
    stationed at JLab.
  • The collaboration anticipates data-taking around
    March 2008. The first transversity measurement on
    polarzied 3He target should provide interesting
    new information on the novel nuclear structure
    functions and fragmentation function.
