One way to treat the infrared divergences of the electroweak Next-to-Leading-Order (NLO) differential cross sections to parity-violating (PV) electron-proton scattering is by adding soft-photon emission contribution. Although more physical, the results are left with a logarithmic dependence on the photon detector acceptance, which can only be eliminated by considering Hard Photon Bremsstrahlung (HPB) contribution. Here we present a treatment of HPB for PV electron-proton scattering. HPB differential cross sections for electron-proton scattering have been computed using the experimental values of nucleon form factors. The final results are expressed through kinematic parameters, making it possible to apply the computed PV HPB differential cross sections for the analysis of data of a range of current and proposed experiments.
A detailed study of two-photon exchange in unpolarized and polarized elastic electron--nucleon scattering is presented, taking particular account of nucleon finite size effects. Contributions from nucleon elastic intermediate states are found to have a strong angular dependence, which leads to a partial resolution of the discrepancy between the Rosenbluth and polarization transfer measurements of the proton electric to magnetic form factor ratio, G_E/G_M. The two-photon exchange contribution to the longitudinal polarization transfer P_L is small, whereas the contribution to the transverse polarization transfer P_T is enhanced at backward angles by several percent, increasing with Q^2. This gives rise to a small, ~3% suppression of G_E/G_M obtained from the polarization transfer ratio P_T/P_L at large Q^2. We also compare the two-photon exchange effects with data on the ratio of e^+ p to e^- p cross sections, which is predicted to be enhanced at backward angles. Finally, we evaluate the corrections to the form factors of the neutron, and estimate the elastic intermediate state contribution to the ^3He form factors.
We investigate an idea, how to use analysis of the bremsstrahlung photons to study the internal structure of proton under nuclear reaction with nucleus. A new model is constructed to describe bremsstrahlung emission of photons which accompanies the scattering of protons off nuclei. Our bremsstrahlung formalism uses many-nucleon basis that allows to analyze coherent and incoherent bremsstrahlung emissions. As scattered proton can be under the influence of strong forces and produces the largest bremsstrahlung contribution to full spectrum, we focus on accurate determination of its quantum evolution concerning nucleus basing on quantum mechanics and scattering theory. For such a motivation, we at first time generalize Pauli equation with interacting potential describing evolution of fermion inside strong field, with including the electromagnetic form-factors of nucleon basing on DIS theory. Anomalous magnetic momenta of nucleons reinforce our motivation to develop such a formalism, starting from low energy. The full bremsstrahlung spectrum in our model (after renormalization) is dependent on form-factors of the scattered proton. For calculations, we choose the scattering of $p + ^{197}{rm Au}$ at proton beam energy of 190~MeV, where experimental bremsstrahlung data were obtained with high accuracy. We show that the full bremsstrahlung spectrum is sensitive to the form-factors of the scattered proton. In the limit without such form-factors, we reconstruct our previous result (where internal structure of the scattered proton was not studied).
A dynamical model based on effective Lagrangians is proposed to describe the bremsstrahlung reaction $ pi N to pi N gamma$ at low energies. The $Delta(1232)$ degrees of freedom are incorporated in a way consistent with both, electromagnetic gauge invariance and invariance under contact transformations. The model also includes the initial and final state rescattering of hadrons via a T-matrix with off-shell effects. The $pi N gamma$ differential cross sections are calculated using three different T-matrix models and the results are compared with the soft photon approximation, and with experimental data. The aim of this analysis is to test the off-shell behavior of the different T-matrices under consideration.
The quasielastic charged current (CCQE) $ u_e n rightarrow e^- p$ scattering is the dominant mechanism to detect appearance of a $ u_e$ in an almost $ u_mu$ flux at the 1 GeV scale. Actual experiments show a precision below 1% and between less known background contributions, but necessary to constraint the event excess, we have the radiative corrections. A consistent model recently developed for the simultaneous description of elastic and radiative $pi N$ scattering, pion-photoproduction and single pion production processes, both for charged and neutral current neutrino-nucleon scattering, is extended for the evaluation of the radiative $ u_l Nrightarrow u_l N gamma$ cross section. Our results are similar to a previous (but inconsistent) theoretical evaluation in the low energy region, and show an increment in the upper region where the $Delta$ resonance becomes relevant.
The discrete energy-eigenvalues of two nucleons interacting with a finite-range nuclear force and confined to a harmonic potential are used to numerically reconstruct the free-space scattering phase shifts. The extracted phase shifts are compared to those obtained from the exact continuum scattering solution and agree within the uncertainties of the calculations. Our results suggest that it might be possible to determine the amplitudes for the scattering of complex systems, such as n-d, n-t or n-alpha, from the energy-eigenvalues confined to finite volumes using ab-initio bound-state techniques.
