  22. qqG 1GeV qq Hybrid mesons Flux Tube Model • Provides a framework to understand gluonic excitations. • Conventional mesons have the color flux tube in the ground state. When the flux tube is excited hybrid mesons emerge. For static quarks the excitation level above the ground state is ~1 GeV. • The excitation of the flux tube, when combined with the quarks, can lead to spin-parity quantum numbers that cannot be obtained in the quark model (JPC - exotics). • The decay of hybrid mesons leads to complex final states. JPC = 0+-, 1-+, 2+-

  23. LQCD supports the idea of flux tubes. Flux distribution between static quarks. Flux tubes lead to a linear confining potential.

  24. Exotic Hybrid Mesons Masses With 3 light quarks the conventional and hybrid mesons form flavor nonets for each JPC.

  25. Photons may be more suited to excite exotics • In the flux tube model, using photon beams, the production rate of hybrid mesons is not suppressed compared to conventional mesons. • N. Isgur, PRD (1999); A. Afanasev & A. Szczepaniak, PRD (2000); F. Close & J. Dudek (2004)

  26. GlueX – Exotic meson program at 12GeV To meet these goals GlueX will:

  27. CLAS12 Quark Propagation and Hadron Formation:QCD Confinement in Forming Systems • How long can a light quark remain deconfined? • The production time tp measures this • Deconfined quarks emit gluons • Measure tp via medium-stimulated gluon emission • How long does it take to form the color field of a hadron? • The formation time tfh measures this • Hadrons interact strongly with nuclear medium • Measure tfh via hadron attenuation in nuclei

  28. Expected data – Hadronic multiplicity ratio

  29. Color transparency in ρ electroproduction • ColorTransparency is a spectacular prediction of QCD: under the right conditions, nuclear matter will allow the transmission of hadrons with reduced attenuation • Totally unexpected in an hadronic picture of strongly interacting matter, but straightforward in quark gluon basis • Why ρ? Should be evident first in mesons

  30. The signature of CT is the rising of the nuclear transparency TA with increasing hardness of the reaction (Q) • Measurement at fixed coherence length needed for unambiguous interpretation

  31. CLAS preliminary Color transparency in ρ electroproduction 56Fe • Predicted results high-precision, will permit systematic studies CLAS12 projected

Parity Violating Electron DIS e- e- * Z* X N For an isoscalar target like 2H, one can write in good approximation: provided Q2 and W2 are high enough and x ~ 0.3 Must measure APV to fractional accuracy better than 1% • 11 GeV at high luminosity makes very high precision feasible • JLab is uniquely capable of providing beam of extraordinary stability • Control of systematics being developed at 6 GeV

  36. Conclusions • The JLab Upgrade has well defined physics goals of fundamental importance for the future of hadron physics, addressing in new and revolutionary ways the quark and gluon structure of mesons, nucleons, and nuclei by • accessing generalized parton distributions • exploring the valence quark structure of nucleons • understanding quark confinement and hadronization processes • extending nucleon elastic and transition form factors to short distances • mapping the spectrum of gluonic excitations of mesons • searching for physics beyond the standard model • Design of accelerator and equipment upgrades are underway • Construction scheduled to begin in 2009 • Accelerator shutdown scheduled for 2012

  37. 2007 NSAC Long Range Plan (4 recommendations) Recommendation 1 We recommend the completion of the 12 GeV Upgrade at Jefferson Lab. - It will enable three-dimensional imaging of the nucleon, revealing hidden aspects of its internal dynamics. • It will complete our understanding of the transition between the hadronic and quark/gluon descriptions of nuclei. • It will test definitively the existence of exotic hadrons, long-predicted by QCD as arising from quark confinement. • It will provide low-energy probes of physics beyond the Standard Model complementing anticipated measurements at the highest accessible energy scales.
