Kent PaschkePAVI ’11, Rome, Italy Strange Quarks in Elastic Scattering Do the strange quarks in the sea play a significant role in the electric/magnetic charge distributions in the nucleon? ? Measuring all three enables separation of up, down and strange contributions Measure the neutral weak proton form-factor Three equations and three unknowns Charge Symmetry The weak form factor is accessible via parity violation

Kent PaschkePAVI ’11, Rome, Italy The Axial Term and the Anapole Moment Anapole Moment Correction: Multiquark weak interaction in R A (T=1), R A (T=0) Zhu, Puglia, Holstein, Ramsey-Musolf, Phys. Rev. D 62, Model dependent calculation, with large uncertainty Model dependent calculation, with large uncertainty Dominates Uncertainty in Axial Term Dominates Uncertainty in Axial Term Difficult to achieve tight experimental constraint Reduced in importance for forward-angle measurements G0 Using experimental determination for axial form factor would increase total FF uncertainty about 70%

Kent PaschkePAVI ’11, Rome, Italy Forward-angle proton scattering “Form Factor” error: precision of EMFF (including 2 γ) and Anapole correction

Kent PaschkePAVI ’11, Rome, Italy World data on G s all forward-angle proton data At Q 2 ~ 0.1 GeV 2, G s < few percent of G p Q 2 ~ 0.22 Q 2 ~ 0.62

Kent PaschkePAVI ’11, Rome, Italy Model guidance is unclear: kaon loops, vector dominance, Skyrme model, chiral quark model, dispersion relations, NJL model, quark-meson coupling model, chiral bag model, HBChPT, chiral hyperbag, QCD equalities, … - Dong, Liu, Williams PRD 58(1998) Lewis, Wilcox, Woloshyn PRD 67(2003) Leinweber, et al.,PRL 94(2005) ; 97 (2006) Lin, arXiv:0707: Wang et al, Phys.Rev. C79 (2009) Doi et al., Phys.Rev. D80 (2009) QCD models Recent significant progress in Lattice QCD: these all suggest very small effects

Kent PaschkePAVI ’11, Rome, Italy Global fit of all world data Data set appears to show consistent preference for positive effect Significant contributions at higher Q 2 are not ruled out. Fit includes all world data Q 2 < 0.65 GeV 2 G0 Global error allowed to float with unit constraint Simple fit: G E s = ρ s *τ G M s = μ s

(Plenty of acceptance in forward angles.) 12.5 o minimum angle ~ 3 GeV maximum E’ Statistical FOM suitable for forward-angle PVeS studies Hydrogen, Deuterium from Q 2 ~ [0.25 GeV GeV 2 ] Helium-4 at Q 2 ~ [0.05 GeV GeV 2 ] Very low backgrounds Very clean isolation of 4 He elastic Low Q 2 range extended with septum magnet for 6 o scattering Forward-angle program plays a primary role in strange-quark studies Insensitive to problematic anapole moment 4 He interpretability very robust

Kent PaschkePAVI ’11, Rome, Italy Compton Polarimetry Online plots from run Electron detector achieved 1% accuracy for HAPPEX-2, but e-det system was not functioning for HAPPEX-3 Photon self-triggered analysis has been limited in accuracy, and required electron coincidence measurements for calibration Integrating photon detection: immune to calibration, pile-up, deadtime, response function New DAQ, with SIS 2230 Flash ADC: Accumulator readout: all FADC samples are summed on board for entire helicity window

Kent PaschkePAVI ’11, Rome, Italy Strange Vector Form Factors Are Small HAPPEX-III provides a clean, precise measure of A PV at Q 2 =0.62 GeV 2, and finds that it is consistent with no strangeness contribution to the long-range electromagnetic interaction of the nucleon Recent lattice results indicate values smaller than these FF uncertainties Further improvements in precision would require additional theoretical and empirical input for interpretation Q 2 = 0.62 GeV 2
