Deeply Virtual Meson Production (DVMP) Asymmetry arises due to interference LT’ Measuring asymmetry is simpler since detector acceptance and normalization factors cancel each other Non-zero beam spin asymmetries for exclusive neutral pion electroproduction of the proton have been measured in CLAS. [De Masi et al. CLAS Collaboration]

Neutral pion electroproduction off a helium-4 in CLAS Coherent electroproduction of pion has been studied in deep exclusive regime: GPDs Coherent production on spinless nuclei can be parametrized with single structure function Decomposition of structure functions in term of helicity amplitudes is simplified Experimental Setup to study coherent π0 production on a helium-4 target CLAS detector was used to detect electrons. Inner Calorimeter was used detect small angle photons Radial Time Projection Chamber was used to detect low momentum recoil helium-4

Coherent Selection Coherent events Pion momentum cut Squared Missing Mass cut Coplanarity cut Cut on the cone angle between missing pion and detected one Cut on missing mass squared of helium-4

Suppressing background After applying exclusive cuts, one third of the events are background Events with photon energy smaller that 400 MeV are rejected The distance between two photons in IC needs to be smaller than 7.0 cm. The estimated background after applying the cuts above is about 7%

Summary of Coherent Event Selection Yellow distributions represent coherent event candidates Blue distributions represent the events which passed all the cuts except the quantity plotted The number of events that passed all the cuts is 805. The estimated background is about 60 events

Simulation Event Generator: (e’ π0 4He) events are generated GSIM: simulates detectors responses to particles Smearing (GPP): energy, position and time are smeared to make more realistic RECSIS: reconstruction code (ADCs, TDCs) -> physical quantities fastMC: Simulates RTPC. We use Monte Carlo for two goals: Calculating the acceptance ratio for the purpose of background subtraction - Understanding the behavior of each particle type in our detectors

Extraction of BSA and Statistical Uncertainty Beam-Spin Asymmetry is the ratio of the cross-sections of different helicity states. Data points fitted with αsin(φ) to extract the asymmetry

Systematic Uncertainties The variables directly proportional to cross-sections will cancel each other in asymmetry measurements. However, some sources can contribute to systematic uncertainty: Coherent event selection cuts: Asymmetry calculated again by varying the exclusive cuts. Beam polarization: Global estimated error for Hall-B Moller polarimeter is 3.5% which is taken as a systematic uncertainty. Fitting Method: The dataset has been fitted with un-binned likelihood method and difference between least square fit method has taken as systematic uncertainty.

Un-binned Maximum Likelihood Fitting Method Definition of Likelihood For convenience the negative log of the Likelihood is often used Parameters are estimated by maximizing the Likelihood, or equivalently minimizing –log(L) Functions used in likelihoods must be Probability Density Functions:

Beam Spin Asymmetry extracted by un-binned likelihood method Asymmetry extracted by minimizing ->

Summary of Systematic Uncertainties Sources of Systematic Uncertainty Squared Missing Mass 6.7% Minimum Energy of Photon 4.5% Distance between photons 20.0% Beam polarization 3.5% Fitting method 14.6% Total 26.3%

Regge-based model, J.M. Laget Red circular points: Vector meson cut alone. This is the contribution which has the strongest J=T=0 contribution (two pion exchange in the t-channel). Red dash-dotted line: Vector meson cut alone (figure 6 in PLB695). This is the contribution which has the strongest J=T=0 contribution (two pion exchange in the t-channel), selected by the coherent production of pi0 on 4He. So this red dash-dotted curve provides a hint of what would be the beam asymmetry for 4He target, provided the remaining J>0 and T>0 t-channel contributions are small.

Exclusive Incoherent Pion Production Pion momentum cut Missing transverse momentum cut Cut on the cone angle between missing pion and detected one Cut on missing mass squared Huge background after the cuts

Background The ratio of the signal to background is reduced by applying cut on the cone angle between missing proton and detected one.

Extraction of BSA from Exclusive Incoherent channel

Semi-Exclusive Incoherent Pion Production Only electron and two photons in IC are detected. Pion is reconstructed from invariant mass of photons with the same cut as exclusive incoherent channel. Minimum pion momentum cut (>3 GeV). Data is binned in dihedral angle to have similar statistics in each bin.

Semi-Exclusive Incoherent channel total helicity = -1 helicity = 1

Semi-Exclusive Incoherent channel total helicity = -1 helicity = 1

Semi-Exclusive Incoherent channel total helicity = -1 helicity = 1

Extraction of BSA from Semi-Exclusive Incoherent channel

Comparison results of coherent and incoherent channels The beam spin asymmetry has the same sign in both, coherent and incoherent (on the nucleon) DVCS processes on a helium-4 target, and that sign is the same as measurements on the proton. The beam spin asymmetry of coherent pion electroproduction on helim-4 has opposite sign than the asymmetry measured for pion production on the proton

Thanks for your attention Summary For the first time, the beam spin asymmetry in the coherent neutral pion electroproduction on helium-4 has been measured using the CLAS detector, compact lead-tungsten calorimeter and a radial time projection chamber in Hall-B at JLAB The measure asymmetry has opposite sign compared to the sign of asymmetry measured in the pion electroproduction on the proton More theoretical support is needed to understand this result Work is in progress to extract cross section and try to estimate contributions of longitudinal and transverse photons (L/T separation) Thanks for your attention

Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) DA GPDs(x,ξ,t) is a probability amplitude of taking out a parton with a longitudinal momentum x+ξ from the nucleon and putting it back with momentum x-ξ Factorization GPDs can be accessed via hard exclusive processes such as DVCS or DVMP At leading twist, the partonic structure of the nucleon is described by 4 parton helicity-conserving (chiral even) GPDs and 4 parton helicity-flip (chiral odd) GPDs. Factorization proven only for longitudinally polarized virtual photons for meson production. Neutral pion electroproduction process is identified as sensitive to the chiral odd GPDs p p’ Chiral odd GPDs Chiral even GPDs conserve nucleon helicity flip nucleon helicity Primary contributing GPDs in meson production for transverse photons are: Vector mesons (r, w, f) Pseudoscalar mesons (p, h) flip nucleon helicity conserve nucleon helicity
