In an exclusive measurement of the reaction gammad-->K(+)K(-)pn, a narrow peak that can be attributed to exotic baryon with strangeness S=+1 is seen in K(+)n invariant mass spectrum. The at 1.542+/-0.005 GeV/c(2) measured width 0.021 FWHM, which largely determined by experimental resolution. statistical significance (5.2+/-0.6)sigma. and observed are consistent recent reports other groups.
Previous observers have suggested that the main site of respiratory airflow resistance is localized to vestibular region nose. This resistive segment airway was investigated using a "head-out" body plethysmograph in subjects with anatomically normal noses (a) untreated, (b) congested and (c) decongested. In all three conditions, 2/3 total nasal found within bony cavum vicinity pyriform aperture about 1/3 cartilaginous vestibule. As might be expected, caval changed proportionately degree...
The atomic nucleus is composed of two different kinds fermions, protons and neutrons. If the neutrons did not interact, Pauli exclusion principle would force majority fermions (usually neutrons) to have a higher average momentum. Our high-energy electron scattering measurements using 12C, 27Al, 56Fe 208Pb targets show that, even in heavy neutron-rich nuclei, short-range interactions between form correlated high-momentum neutron-proton pairs. Thus, greater probability than momentum Fermi This...

Within first year data taking with Hall B CLAS12 detector following 12 GeV upgrade, a dedicated experiment will aim extract electrocouplings high photon virtualities Q 2 . This allow exploration resonances highest ever achieved, kinematic reach up = high-Q make it possible probe nucleon structures distance scales ranging from where effective degrees freedom, such as constituent quarks, dominant...
This White Paper presents an overview of the current status and future perspective QCD research, based on community inputs scientific conclusions from 2022 Hot Cold Town Meeting. We present progress made in last decade toward a deep understanding both fundamental structure sub-atomic matter nucleon nucleus cold QCD, hot heavy ion collisions. identify key questions research plausible paths to obtaining answers those near future, hence defining priorities our over coming decades.
High-statistics cross sections for the reactions gamma + p --> K^+ Lambda and Sigma^0 have been measured using CLAS at Jefferson Lab center-of-mass energies W between 1.6 2.53 GeV, -0.85 < cos theta_{K^+}^{c.m.}< +0.95. In channel we confirm a resonance-like structure near W=1.9 GeV backward kaon angles. The position width of this change with angle, indicating that more than one resonance is likely playing role. forward angles all well described by t-channel scaling characteristic Regge...

A large with $\mathrm{sin}\ensuremath{\varphi}$ modulation is observed, as predicted for interference term deeply virtual compton scattering (DVCS) and Bethe-Heitler process. The amplitude this...
The possible role of high nasal airway resistance in the pathogenesis obstructive sleep apnea has been examined 7 patients with seasonal (ragweed) allergic rhinitis, a naturally occurring model reversible obstruction. Measurements and overnight polysomnographic studies were performed during ragweed season when complained obstruction; 6 to 8 wk later symptoms had subsided (control study). During symptomatic phase, mean (+/- SE) was 4.9 +/- 0.8 cm H2O/L/s, experienced 1.7 0.3 apneas per hour...
The ratios of inclusive electron scattering cross sections 4He, 12C, and 56Fe to 3He have been measured at 1<xB<3. At Q2>1.4 GeV2, the exhibit two separate plateaus, 1.5<xB<2 xB>2.25. This pattern is predicted by models that include 2- 3-nucleon short-range correlations (SRC). Relative A=3, per-nucleon probabilities SRC are 2.3, 3.1, 4.4 times larger for A=4, 12, 56. first measurement in nuclei.Received 16 August 2005DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.082501©2006 American Physical Society

Models of baryon structure predict a small quadrupole deformation the nucleon due to residual tensor forces between quarks or distortions from pion cloud. Sensitivity quark versus degrees freedom occurs through Q2 dependence magnetic (M1+), electric (E1+), and scalar (S1+) multipoles in gamma*p-->Delta(+)-->p pi(0) transition.
