Polarization Transfer from the Twisted Light to an Atom
Andrei Afanasev, Carl E. Carlson, Hao Wang
When polarized light is absorbed by an atom, the excited atomic system carries information about the initial polarization of light. For the light that carries an orbital angular mo…
Physics with Positron Beams at Jefferson Lab 12 GeV
A. Afanasev, I. Albayrak, S. Ali +124
Positron beams, both polarized and unpolarized, are identified as essential ingredients for the experimental program at the next generation of lepton accelerators. In the context o…
Lepton mass effects for beam-normal single-spin asymmetry in elastic muon-proton scattering
Oleksandr Koshchii, Andrei Afanasev
We estimate the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry in elastic lepton-proton scattering without employing the ultrarelativistic approximation. Our calculation is relevant for analyse…
The Schwinger Scattering of Twisted Neutrons by Nuclei
Andrei V. Afanasev, D. V. Karlovets, V. G. Serbo
Thanks to J.~Schwinger, the process of elastic scattering of neutrons by nuclei is known to depend on the interference between a nuclear amplitude and an electromagnetic one for sm…
