Inspire Record 558329 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42898

The Sigma^- mean squared charge radius has been measured in the space-like Q^2 range 0.035-0.105 GeV^2/c^2 by elastic scattering of a Sigma^- beam off atomic electrons. The measurement was performed with the SELEX (E781) spectrometer using the Fermilab hyperon beam at a mean energy of 610 GeV/c. We obtain = (0.61 +/- 0.12 (stat.) +/- 0.09 (syst.)) fm^2. The proton and pi^- charge radii were measured as well and are consistent with results of other experiments. Our result agrees with the recently measured strong interaction radius of the Sigma^-.

First Measurement of Form Factors of the Decay Xi0->Sigma+ e- anti-nu/e

The KTeV collaboration Alavi-Harati, A. ; Alexopoulos, T. ; Arenton, M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 87 (2001) 132001, 2001.
Inspire Record 556399 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.43756

We present the first measurement of the form factor ratios g1/f1 (direct axial-vector to vector), g2/f1 (second class current) and f2/f1 (weak magnetism) for the decay Xi0 -> Sigma+ e- anti-nu/e using the KTeV (E799) beam line and detector at Fermilab. From the Sigma+ polarization measured with the decay Sigma+ -> p pi0 and the e- - anti-nu/e correlation, we measure g1/f1 to be 1.32 +0.21-0.17(stat.) +/- 0.05(syst.), assuming the SU(3)f (flavor) values for g2/f1 and f2/f1. Our results are all consistent with exact SU(3)f symmetry.

A measurement of the electric form-factor of the neutron through d(pol.)(e(pol.),e' n)p at Q**2 = 0.5-(GeV/c)**2.

The E93026 collaboration Zhu, H. ; Ahmidouch, A. ; Anklin, H. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 87 (2001) 081801, 2001.
Inspire Record 556212 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31418

We report the first measurement of the neutron electric form factor $G_E^n$ via $\vec{d}(\vec{e},e'n)p$ using a solid polarized target. $G_E^n$ was determined from the beam-target asymmetry in the scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from polarized deuterated ammonia, $^{15}$ND$_3$. The measurement was performed in Hall C at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF) in quasi free kinematics with the target polarization perpendicular to the momentum transfer. The electrons were detected in a magnetic spectrometer in coincidence with neutrons in a large solid angle segmented detector. We find $G_E^n = 0.04632\pm0.00616 (stat.) \pm0.00341 (syst.)$ at $Q^2 = 0.495$ (GeV/c)$^2$.

Measurement of the branching ratio for D/s- --> tau- anti-nu/tau decays.

Phys.Lett.B 516 (2001) 236-248, 2001.
Inspire Record 553945 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.49836

Using about 3.9 million hadronic Z decays from e+e- collisions recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies near MZ the branching ratio for the decay D_s -> tau nu_tau has been measured to be (7.0 +/- 2.1(stat) +/- 2.0 (syst))%. This result can be used to derive the decay constant of the D_s meson: f(D_s) = 286 +/- 44(stat) +/- 41(syst) MeV.

We have measured the transverse asymmetry from inclusive scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from polarized 3He nuclei at quasi-elastic kinematics in Hall A at Jefferson Lab with high statistical and systematic precision. The neutron magnetic form factor was extracted based on Faddeev calculations with an experimental uncertainty of less than 2 %.

Measurement of Structure Dependent K^+ -> mu^+ nu gamma

Phys.Rev.Lett. 85 (2000) 2256-2259, 2000.
Inspire Record 525021 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19424

We report the first measurement of a structure dependent component in the decay K^+ -> mu^+ nu gamma. Using the kinematic region where the muon kinetic energy is greater than 137 MeV and the photon energy is greater than 90 MeV, we find that the absolute value of the sum of the vector and axial-vector form factors is |F_V+F_A| =0.165 \pm 0.007 \pm 0.011. This corresponds to a branching ratio of BR(SD^+) = (1.33 \pm 0.12 \pm 0.18) \times 10^{-5}. We also set the limit -0.04 < F_V-F_A < 0.24 at 90% c.l.

Parity violation in elastic electron proton scattering and the proton's strange magnetic form-factor.

The SAMPLE collaboration Spayde, D.T. ; Averett, T. ; Barkhuff, D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 84 (2000) 1106-1109, 2000.
Inspire Record 507265 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31230

We report a new measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron scattering from the proton at backward scattering angles. This asymmetry is sensitive to the strange magnetic form factor of the proton as well as electroweak axial radiative corrections. The new measurement of A=-4.92 +- 0.61 +- 0.73 ppm provides a significant constraint on these quantities. The implications for the strange magnetic form factor are discussed in the context of theoretical estimates for the axial corrections.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 82 (1999) 4988-4991, 1999.
Inspire Record 504073 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31239

We report on the first measurement of spin-correlation parameters in quasifree electron scattering from vector-polarized deuterium. Polarized electrons were injected into an electron storage ring at a beam energy of 720~MeV. A Siberian snake was employed to preserve longitudinal polarization at the interaction point. Vector-polarized deuterium was produced by an atomic beam source and injected into an open-ended cylindrical cell, internal to the electron storage ring. The spin correlation parameter A^V_{ed} was measured for the reaction \pol{2H}(\pol{e},e'n)p at a four-momentum transfer squared of 0.21 (GeV/c)^2 from which a value for the charge form factor of the neutron was extracted.

Measurement of the neutron electric form factor G(E,n) in the quasifree H-2(e(pol.),e' n(pol.))p reaction.

Ostrick, M. ; Herberg, C. ; Andresen, H.G. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 83 (1999) 276-279, 1999.
Inspire Record 506748 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19444

The electric form factor of the neutron GE,n has been measured in the quasifree 2H(e→,e′n→)p reaction using the 855 MeV polarized cw electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI. The polarization of the scattered neutrons was analyzed in a polarimeter consisting of two walls of plastic scintillators. The precession of the neutron spin in a magnetic field was used for the first time to circumvent the measurement of the effective analyzing power of the polarimeter and the beam polarization. In this way GE,n could be determined with little model dependence and experimental uncertainties. The result GE,n(0.34GeV2/c2)=0.0611±0.0069stat({+0.0069}{−0.0055})syst is larger than previously assumed.
