Amplitudes derived from scattering data on elementary targets are basic inputs to neutrino-nucleus cross section predictions. A prominent example is the isovector axial nucleon form factor, $F_A(q^2)$, which controls charged current signal processes at accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiments. Previous extractions of $F_A$ neutrino-deuteron rely a dipole shape assumption that introduces an unquantified error. new analysis world for performed using model-independent, and...
We present metal-gate high-k-dielectric enhancement-mode (e-mode) III-V MOSFETs with the highest reported effective mobility and transconductance to date. The devices employ a GaGdO high-k (k = 20) gate stack, Pt gate, delta-doped InGaAs/AlGaAs/GaAs hetero-structure.

Constraints from analyticity are combined with experimental electron-proton scattering data to determine the proton charge radius. In contrast previous determinations, we provide a systematic procedure for analyzing arbitrary without model-dependent assumptions on form-factor shape. We also investigate impact of including electron-neutron data, and $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}N\overline{N}$ data. Using representative sets find...
We perform a new analysis of electron-proton scattering data to determine the proton electric and magnetic radii, enforcing model-independent constraints from form factor analyticity. A wide-ranging study possible systematic effects is performed. An improved developed that rebins taken at identical kinematic settings, avoids scaling assumption errors with statistical errors. Employing standard models for radiative corrections, our 2010 Mainz A1 Collaboration yields radius $r_E = 0.895(20)$...

We determine the nucleon electromagnetic form factors and their uncertainties from world electron scattering data. The analysis incorporates two-photon exchange corrections, constraints on low-Q2 high-Q2 behavior, additional to account for tensions between different data sets in radiative corrections.
The discovery of a standard-model-like Higgs boson and the hitherto absence evidence for other new states may indicate that if weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) comprise cosmological dark matter, they are heavy compared to electroweak scale particles, $M\ensuremath{\gg}{m}_{{W}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}}$, ${m}_{{Z}^{0}}$. In this limit, absolute cross section WIMP given quantum numbers scatter from nucleon becomes computable in terms standard model parameters. We develop...

Quasielastic neutrino-nucleon scattering is a basic signal process for neutrino oscillation studies. At accelerator energies, the corresponding cross section subject to significant uncertainty due poorly constrained axial-vector form factor of nucleon. A model-independent description presented. Data from MiniBooNE experiment quasielastic on carbon are analyzed under assumption definite nuclear model. The value axial mass parameter, m_A=0.85^{+0.22}_{-0.07} +/- 0.09 GeV, found differ...
An unbroken discrete symmetry, analogous to $G$ parity in QCD, exists standard model extensions with vectorlike coupling of electroweak $SU(2)$ ``hidden sector'' fermions that are confined by a strong gauge force. For an arbitrary irreducible representation the hidden sector fermions, lightest states form isotriplet ``pions'' calculable mass splittings and couplings fields. The can be extended real representations color $SU(3)$, provide dark matter candidates distinct collider signatures.
Proton structure effects in hydrogenic bound states are analyzed using nonrelativistic QED effective field theory. Implications for the Lamb shift muonic hydrogen discussed. Model-dependent assumptions previous analyses isolated, and sensitivity to poorly constrained hadronic two-photon exchange contribution is identified.
