Measurement of Longitudinal Spin Transfer to Lambda Hyperons in Deep-Inelastic Lepton Scattering
HERMES Collaboration, A. Airapetian
Spin transfer in deep-inelastic Lambda electroproduction has been studied with the HERMES detector using the 27.6 GeV polarized positron beam in the HERA storage ring. For an avera…
Nuclear Effects on R = sigma_L / sigma_T in Deep-Inelastic Scattering
K. Ackerstaff
Cross section ratios for deep-inelastic scattering from 14N and 3He with respect to 2H have been measured by the HERMES experiment at DESY using a 27.5 GeV positron beam. The data…
Observation of a Single-Spin Azimuthal Asymmetry in Semi-Inclusive Pion Electro-Production
A. Airapetian
Single-spin asymmetries for semi-inclusive pion production in deep-inelastic scattering have been measured for the first time. A significant target-spin asymmetry of the distributi…
Measurement of the Spin Asymmetry in the Photoproduction of Pairs of High-pT Hadrons at HERMES
A. Airapetian
We present a measurement of the longitudinal spin asymmetry A_|| in photoproduction of pairs of hadrons with high transverse momentum p_T. Data were accumulated by the HERMES exper…
Observation of a Coherence Length Effect in Exclusive Rho^0 Electroproduction
K. Ackerstaff
Exclusive incoherent electroproduction of the rho^0(770) meson from 1H, 2H, 3He, and 14N targets has been studied by the HERMES experiment at squared four-momentum transfer Q**2>0.…
Beam-Induced Nuclear Depolarisation in a Gaseous Polarised Hydrogen Target
K. Ackerstaff
Spin-polarised atomic hydrogen is used as a gaseous polarised proton target in high energy and nuclear physics experiments operating with internal beams in storage rings. When such…
