Gwinner with an update on Francium APV and anapole moment measurement preparations • S. Sanguinetti on the TRAP-RAD experiment to trap Francium • Two comments: • It would be interesting to see another nonzero anapole moment, though connections to N-N interaction seem challenging • Is it worth doing the isotope measurements to access the neutron radius by assuming the Standard Model? There is tremendous interest in obtaining more information. Conclusions & Perspectives

Error ~ 1 to 2 % 12 beam Data collection at JLab Hall A likely in 2008 C Diamond Backing: • High Thermal Conductivity • Negligible Systematics Piekerewicz, Michaels APV ~ 0.5 ppm (APV) ~ 3% (Rp-Rn) ~ 1% Q2 ~ 0.01 GeV2 • Tight control of beam properties • New “warm” septum • New 18-bit ADC • New radiation-hard detector • Polarimetry upgrade Conclusions & Perspectives

  15. Weak Neutral Currents and the Nucleon Conclusions & Perspectives

  16. Nucleon Structure & Strangeness Strange quarks are relatively light What can we say about its role? Breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry introduces uncertainties pN scattering: Strange mass: 0-20% • Semi-inclusive: Ds = 0.03± 0.03 • fragmentation function Schaefer, Leader, Procureur QCD is intractable at low Q2; what is its relationship to hadron structure? Why don’t sea quarks destroy Quark Model predictions? Neutrino deep inelastic scattering Conclusions & Perspectives

  17. Elastic Electroweak Scattering ~ few parts per million proton: Backward angle Forward angle Kaplan & Manohar (1988) McKeown (1990) GEs(Q2), GMs(Q2) Armstrong, Real, Baunack, Kox, Glaeser, Moffit Helium: Unique GE sensitivity Deuterium: Enhanced GA sensitivity Conclusions & Perspectives

  18. Overview of Experiments Armstrong, Real, Baunack, Kox, Glaeser, Moffit A4 SAMPLE Open geometry Fast counting calorimeter for background rejection open geometry, integrating GEs + 0.23 GMs at Q2 = 0.23 GeV2 GEs + 0.10 GMs at Q2 = 0.1 GeV2 GMs, GAe at Q2 = 0.1, 0.23, 0.5 GeV2 GMs, (GA) at Q2 = 0.1 GeV2 HAPPEX GEs + 0.39 GMs at Q2 = 0.48 GeV2 GEs + 0.08 GMs at Q2 = 0.1 GeV2 GEs at Q2 = 0.1 GeV2 (4He) G0 Open geometry Fast counting with magnetic spectrometer + TOF for background rejection GEs + hGMs over Q2 = [0.12,1.0] GeV2 GMs, GAe at Q2 = 0.23, 0.62 GeV2 Conclusions & Perspectives

  19. Current Status Over the past two years: New data from A4, G0 and HAPPEX Q2 ~ 0.1 GeV2 • Forward angle data nearly finished • One high precision point at Q2~0.6 • Await backward angle measurements from A4, G0 • Deuterium running will provide constraints on GA Conclusions & Perspectives

  20. Strangeness Theory Strangeness in the nucleon has challenged model builders for two decades • Quark Model (Riska) • While the ss-bar component is very compact, specific 5 quark states (with s-bar in the ground state) leads to positive GMs • Chiral Quark Soliton Model (Goeke) • Interesting Q2 dependence will be tested soon! • Heavy Quark Contribution (Toublan) • Raises the issue of the sign of the disconnected light and heavy quark loops • VMD Approach (Bijker, Dubnicka) • Some sensitivity to the assumed asymptotic behaviour of the strange form factors • Lattice Gauge Theoretic Approach (Zanotti, Young) • Nice way to access sea quark dynamics, but a critical component involves a hadronic model without consensus on the assigned error Conclusions & Perspectives

  21. Axial Form Factor Bodek, Schindler • Neutrino oscillations experiments need accurate cross-sections • Discrepancy between neutrino and electroproduction data understood • PV experiments need Q2 dependence for backward angle measurements Minerva will make accurate measurements Conclusions & Perspectives

  22. Charge Symmetry Breaking Lewis Chiral perturbation theory with resonance saturation Conclusions & Perspectives

  23. Nucleon EM Form Factors Alarcon, Pacetti, Dubnicka BLAST at MIT-Bates Low Q2 data critical to reduce systematic error in extraction of Gs Conclusions & Perspectives

  24. Personal Outlook • Forward Angle • Fast variation in the range 0<Q2<0.3 GeV2 ruled out by latest HAPPEX data • Still a window to see non-zero strangeness at Q2~0.6 GeV2 • Charge symmetry, radiative corrections and EM form factor uncertainties preclude any further precision at any Q2 • Backward Angle • New G0 and A4 data sensitive to cancellations at intermediate Q2 • Knowledge of GA and background asymmetries will limit further precision than already proposed • Theory • Models are challenged in dealing with properties purely of the sea • Ultimate insight must come from unquenched lattice calculations with light chiral quarks • Where are we? • We have answered a 20 year-old question about nucleon structure: do strange quark contribute to the charge and magnetization distributions of nucleons? The answer seems to be: smaller than expected but we have to complete the approved program. Beyond that, it is in the realm of lattice QCD. Conclusions & Perspectives

  25. Beam-Normal Asymmetries ' ' Vanderhaeghen, Pasquini, Kaufman, Capozza beam : • Imaginary part of two-photon exchange amplitude • “background” for parity-violation experiments A4 Preliminary at 300 MeV Conclusions & Perspectives

  27. Gluon Polarization  or  lepton beam proton beam heavy flavor, high pT  or  0, (PHENIX), jets (STAR)  or  STAR proton beam nucleon target  or  Leader, Proceureur • Strangeness and gluon polarization are the only two “purely sea” experimentally accessible observables • RHIC and lepton DIS experiments both agree G is small • They will make inroads, but the ultimate measurements will require a lepton-ion collider: obtain G directly and by DGLAP evolution of g1 Conclusions & Perspectives

  28. Weak Neutral Currents and the Valence Quark Conclusions & Perspectives

  29. NuTeV Anomaly Londergan 3σ below SM agree with SM After ~ three years, no consensus yet No “good” new physics scenario • Assumptions: • Isoscalar target (N=Z) • include only light (u, d) quarks • neglect heavy quark masses • assume isospin symmetry for PDFs • no nuclear effects (parton shadowing, EMC, ….) • no contributions outside Standard Model Community Prejudice: some combination of isospin violation, nuclear effects, strangeness asymmetry and systematics on radiative corrections Conclusions & Perspectives

  30. PV DIS Reimer, Souder, Zheng Address outstanding issues in high x physics • Charge Symmetry Violation • Partonic level CSV has never been observed • Needs high precision with inclusive scattering • d(x)/u(x) at as x  1 • Longstanding QCD prediction • Needs high precision without nuclear effects • Higher Twist • Absence of significant higher twist a surprise • Needs high precision on “predictable” reaction Conclusions & Perspectives

  31. PV DIS with JLab Upgrade For hydrogen 1H: 1% APV measurements Longstanding issue: d/u as x1 • Allows d/u measurement on a single proton! • Vector quark current! (electron is axial-vector) Souder, Londergan Charge Symmetry Violation at High x: clean observation possible For an isoscalar target like 2H Global fits allow x3 larger effects Conclusions & Perspectives

  38. Beyond SM with PV DIS For an isoscalar target like 2H, structure functions largely cancel in the ratio: (Q2 >> 1 GeV2 , W2 >> 4 GeV2, x ~ 0.3-0.5) Zheng, Reimer Complementary to LHC • Need to characterize nucleon structure at high-x to high precision • 6 GeV experiment launches PV DIS measurements at JLab • 12 GeV experiment requires tight control of normalization errors • Important constraint should LHC see anomaly Conclusions & Perspectives
