Minutes

Attending: Alex (CMU); Mark, Jose, Beni, Elton (JLab); Aleks, Svetlana (MUN) ; Ilya, Rory (UMass).

  1. Announcements
  2. Action Items
    1. Elton has not received any response from emails to Dai. Lingyun Dai, Hunan University: Changsha, Hunan, CN (dailingyun@hnu.edu.cn)
  3. Theory Priorities (Jose)
    1. Corrections due to virtuality. Jose mentioned that his recollection was that estimates of higher order corrections was 30%. There are both higher order ChiPT corrections in addition to corrections due to virtuality of the exchanged photon
      • Aleks suggested that one could calculate Compton scattering off a pi0 at one loop and evaluate the corrections due to virtuality in that case. It was agreed that this would be a good start
    2. Dispersive approach
      • Evaluating the impact of high mass data on the experiment may be important for the proposal.
      • Elton will provide a t distribution for the reaction.
      • Current group of theorists do not have great expertise in this area. One would need to learn about the approach and contact experts in this field.
      • We will reach out to experts in these areas (Pasquini, Moussallam, Dai and others) to see if they would be willing to support this effort.
    3. Move from gg*->pi0pi0 to gA->pi0pi0A.
      • Jose is almost finished with this calculation.
    4. Sensitivity of polarization to cross section
      • This depends on which meson exchanges (e.g. rho?) contribute to the reaction. One needs to identify the main exchanges.
      • Evaluate existing literature and create context for application to this proposal.
    5. Get control over all other contributions to the cross section, including nuclear corrections.
      • Take advantage of PRIMEX experience (single pi0) to see if one can extrapolate to this proposal (2 pi0s).
      • Engage Serguei to do some of the calculations for this case.
  4. Calculations of gp->pi0pi0 p (Aleks)
    • Aleks showed the diagrams contributing to gp -> pi0 pi0 p using ChiPT as a first step toward understanding the Primakoff reaction.
    • Elton: We might want to consider a large Z isoscaler source of virtual photons, which might be closer to the experimental situation.
    • Mark: Absolute cross section for reaction not as important as angular distribution for use in separating out nuclear coherent from the Primakoff signal.
    • Jose: Need to assess importance of various diagrams (see #4 above) in order to prioritize calculations.
  5. Other business
  6. Next meeting
