Experiment 745 - An Improved Test of QED - An Experiment to MeasureVacuum Polarization in the 3d-3p Transitions in Muonic Helium

Brookhaven National M. MayLaboratory

CERN and E. ZavattiniColumbia University

Columbia University J. Derdarian, J. French, A.M. Sachs

Spokesman: A. Sachs

Present experiments test vacuum polarization effects in QED to an accu-racy of 0.2 to 0.4%. This experiiu^nt is designed to make an order ofmagnitude improvement in these tests by a precise measurement of 3d-3ptransitions in muonic helium, where the level separation is given almostentirely by the vacuum polarization terras.

The transition between high angular momentum states is selected to avoidthe uncertainties in the r.m.s. charge radius of helium - an uncertaintywhich limits the accuracy of the 2s-2p experiments. However, since thelifetimes in the d and p states are 10" 1 1 to 10~ 1 2 sec, the experimentaltechnique involves inducing transitions with a CO2 laser during the fastinitial cascade and detecting the transitions by an increase in the emis-sion of Kg x-rays.

In order to make a beam of stopping negative rauons at the ACS, the designuses the SREL muon channel at 55 deg from the 28 GeV proton beam. Theflexibility of the AGS accelerator permits the extraction of a shortpulse of protons, producing an intense pulse of stopping muons, which iswell matched to the laser pulse.

The aim of this experiment is a detailed study of positive muon depolar-ization (u+SR) in single crystal and polycrystalline samples of aluminumas a function of temperature and orientation in zero and applied trans-verse magnetic fields. The measurements are intended to discriminatebetween recent models of u+ motional behavior in metals: Anderson local-ization, quantum diffusion, classical diffusion, trapping/detrapping atimpurities and in impurity-induced strain fields. The aluminum will bedoped with various concentrations of Ag, Cu, Ga, In, Mg, Si and Zn impuri-ties, selected in order to vary such parameteres as valence difference,solubility and lattice distortion. Classification of u+ dynamics as afunction of sample state variables is essential to the future use of u+SRin more complicated condensed matter systems.

The well-documented SREL muon channel at the AGS installed for QED Exper-iment #745 provides a unique opportunity for condensed matter researchusing rauons during times when the slowly extracted proton beam is incidenton the D-line production target. The SREL channel with a wedge magnet andpossibly focussing elements tunable for 125 MeV/c muons created a highintensity, high duty factor y+ beam competitive with those found elsewherein the world.

Initial beam studies will use scintillators and wire chambers common tohigh-energy physics experiments. Newly designed and relatively standardapparatus will be used for data taking.

Since i ts discovery in 1964 by a team of Brookhaven scientists , there hasbeen surprisingly l i t t l e learned about the 7T. In particular some of i tsquantum numbers, spin for example, have never been measured; almost noth-ing is known about i ts production mechanisms; and there have been almostno systematic studies of the S = - 3 system.

A new approach to the problems of event selection, triggering, data ac-quisition, and analysis which exist in the high interaction rate, complextopology environment available at high energy proton machines such as theAGS is being developed. We believe we can solve these problems with aspectrometer uti l izing modern electronics technology which will eventu-ally be capable of efficiently reconstructing with full numerical pre-cision more than 105 complex events per second. This will allow unprece-dented event selectivity and sensitivity to rare phenomena.

In order to develop this technology a study of the Ji~ system is the f i rs tmajor physics goal. We hope to: (1) Develop the on-line hardware pro-cessing technology and (2) Amass a large enough sample of ft" events in npor pp interactions to be able to (a) determine the fi~ spin, (b) measurethe ft" production cross sections in a variety of completely specifiedexclusive final s tates, and (c) search for other !s | = 3 resonances.

In two very short SEB runs, 500 million high multiplicity np interactionsand a similar number of pp interactions were recorded. This large datasample will be analyzed with the hardware processor which has been set-upin the Wide Angle Hall in the CBA complex. In August 1986, the spectrom-eter system was shipped to Fermi lab where the investigation of the had-ronic production of heavy quark states will continue.

This experiment is concerned with the development of a low energy anti-neutron source and measurement of np annihilation cross section near NNthreshold. The construction of an antineutron beam permits the study ofthe SN interaction at very low energies where dE/dx limits the usefulnessof p beams. Antineutrinos are produced by 500 MeV/c p in the chargeexchange reaction pp + tin. Annihilation (and total) cross sections havebeen measured in the range 100-500 MeV/c antineutron momentum with un-precedented resolution (100 KeV - 6.7 MeV NN mass) and sensitivity veryclose to threshold [see T. Armstrong et al., Phys. Lett. 175B, 383,1986]. No narrow states are observed. A comparison of cross sectionswith predictions based on phenomeno gical potential models or micro-scopic quark models is in progress.

The E(1420) was discovered over a decade ago; yet it has remained a rela-tively obscure resonance due mainly to relatively small production crosssections in the conventional channels. Information on its branching ratiosinto KRU and nuir and even i ts spin-parity are so far contradictory. Re-cently, the E meson has taken on an added topical significance after itsobservation in the radiative J/t|j decay. The speculations are that thereare two s ta tes in the E region, a conventional qq meson and a glueballwhich is a bound state of gluons.

The aim of Exp. 771 is to perform a definitive analysis of the E mesons asobserved in IT", K~ and p beams at 6 to 8 GeV/c. It is anticipated thatthe stat is t ics of Che E-meson events in these reactions will be one to twoorders of magnitude better than any that have hitherto been available. Theexperiment is performed at the MPS with a fast-forward R1" trigger augmentedby a multiplicity requirement near the LH_ target.

This experiment proposes to search for strange dibaryon resonances in theAp missing mass region above the IN threshold. In this region previousexperiments have detected a threshold cusp due to the opening of the TSchannel. But at higher momentum transfers a broader structure appearsunderlining the cusp which may be a predicted S=-l dibaryon resonance.It is proposed to enhance this shoulder relative to the cusp by using arange hodoscope to reject spectator nucleons and events proceedingthrough the £N channel and by choosing the appropriate momentum transferto enhance the reaction. A study of the relative magnitudes of the cuspand shoulder with respect to momentum transfer will be made to determinethe orbital angular momentum of this enhancement.

The experiment has observed narrow Z hypernuclear structure in the (K~,•f+) reaction using \L and Li targets at incident momentum of 715 MeV/c.The object of the experiment is to obtain the E-nucleus spin orbit param-eter. The structure in the 12Be is consistent with structure seen ear-lier in the KEK data. The structure in the 7Z data are consistent withthe predicted spectrum, however further analysis is needed to extract theinteraction parameters.

The experiment will also attempt to observe a state in the I hypernuclearsystem (NNpJT) for all particles in the Is shell.

The selectivity model predicts one narrow state to be populated in thisreaction if the level is bound or nearly bound. This state may also benarrow if it lies high in the continuium through a correction to the tin-*• EN conversion channel as postulated by Gal, et al. It is important totest these conclusions in one of the lightest possible systems.

This is a proposal to measure the branching ratio of the decay K+ •+ ir+lJ+ewith a statistical sensitivity of 5 x 10~ 1 2 and systematic sensitivity ofbetter than 10"1 . The apparatus involves a high flux, unseparated K +

beam with momentum 6 GeV/c and a spectrometer which measures the momentumand species of all of the final state particles. The beam design is basedon an existing beam modified to reduce the number of ambient muons passingthrough the detector. In addition to high kaon fluxes, 2 x 107/machinepulse, features of the experiment that make such sensitivity possible arethe low probability of a negatively charged electron and a muon from a K +

decay, i.e. a good trigger signature, and the ability for good particleidentification at low energies. The apparatus is thus designed aroundgood electron identification employing atmospheric pressure Cerenkovcounters and a lead scintillator shower detector.

In addition to K+ + ir+p+e~, the experimenters will collect several hundredtimes the present data sample for the reaction K+ + n+e+e~. This willenable them to study the Dalitz plot distribution for this decay and lookfor possible e+e' state in the mass range 140 < M g e < 340 MeV.

Spokesman: R.P. Scharenberg

The primary objective of this experiment is to study the production ofheavy nuclear fragments by protons incident on nuclear targets in thethreshold region of 1 < p < 28 GeV/c. The novel features of this experi-ment are:

1. Fragment identification over a wide range of fragment mass andcharge: 4 < Ar < 33, 2 < Z, < 13. On the basis of a recently com-pleted experiment, there is strong experimental evidence that thesefragments are a manifestation of a system undergoing a phasetrans it ion.

2. An acceptance for a wide range of fragment kinetic energies whichpermits: (a) measurement below the peak in the kinetic energy dis-tribution (~ 1 MeV/nucleon), (b) measurement well above the peak,enabling a determination of the kinetic energy slope parameter.

3. A determination of the fragment yields Y(Zc, Ac) as a function ofbeam energy. Since there is a paucity of fragment data in thethreshold region, it is proposed to make a systematic study with asingle apparatus, thereby avoiding normalization problems whichexist in the literature.

4. The use of a 2 ng/cm2 gas jet target located in the main ring beamline.

This experiment is to be conducted in the A-3 external proton beam usinga flux of about 10 1 2 protons per pulse at E =30 GeV.

The basic detector will consist of sets of mini-drift chambers placedabout a 72D18 magnet to form a spectrometer, an atmospheric pressurehydrogen Cerenkov Counter, a large lead glass array, and iron/scintil-lator range stack.

The experimenters intend to search for the transitions K^ + ue and K^+ e+e with a sensitivity to branching ratios larger than 10"10. Theseflavor changing neutral currents are highly suppressed in the StandardModel, and the observation of these decays would imply the existence ofnew interactions.

This is a proposal to measure the Y~ray transitions between hypernuclearstates which differ only by the orientation of the lambda spin with re-spect to the angular momentum of the nuclear core. This directly mea-sures the spin dependence of the A nucleus interaction independent of anymodel. We expect these spin dependent splittings to be less than 300keV. Germanium detectors will be used to observe the y rays in coinci-dence with a pure sample cr hypernuclear events in a narrow range ofexcitation energy selected by the hypernuclear spectrometer in LESBI atthe AGS. This proposal continues the research begun in Experiment 760,the first experiment to utilize this (KTT,Y) coincidence technique. Theprobable energy range of the y rays to be observed is inferred from theresults of Experiment 760 and is very much lower than previous theoreti-cal estimates.

This experiment will utilize the new unique AGS polarized proton beamcapability and our polarized proton target to measure spin-spin effectsin proton-proton elastic scattering. We will measure the elastic differ-ential cross sections in pure initial spin states in a completely unex-plored energy and momentum transfer region. The physics motivation isboth the excitement of studying a totally unexplored area, and the fur-ther study of the large and dramatic high-P^ spin-spin effect discoveredat the ZGS. The ratio of the spin parallel to antiparallel p-p elasticcross section reached o + -f:crt+ = k at the maximum ZGS P? of 5.6 (GeV/c)^at 12.75 GeV/c. The ratio will be observed to see if it will continue torise, to plateau, or to drop off as predicted by QCD quark interchangemodels. The unexpected ZGS results suggest that this proposed experimentshould be very exciting.

Using the K~ + A + T~ + A reaction to formyyHe and y He, i t is proposed to determine the life time and the four par-t i a l decay rates that characterize the weak decay. Because the A and thenucleons are all in relative s states one can extract from the decayrates information on the elementary AN •+ NN spin-isospin amplitudes.

The AGS hypernuclear spectrometer at the separated kaon beam, LESBI, willbe used to tag the formation of ^He and ^He. The Carnegie-Mellon rangeand timing spectrometer will be used to measure the time spectrum andenergy distribution of pion and proton decay products from the taggedevents. Coincident neutrons will be detected in a time of flight neutronspectrometer. Previous data of this type is either non-existent or ofvery poor quality. The life time measurement will be based on the coin-cident proton spectrum with a system that has been demonstrated to becapable of a = 100 ps prompt time resolution.

This experiment investigates rare IC decays. The first priority is asearch for the decay KL + ve with a branching ratio sensitivity of 10" 1 2 .A positive signal would be the first demonstration of the nonconservationof separate lepton number. 'The experimenters can also collect 103-104

events from the decay 1^ + u+jr. with such a sample the longitudinal po-larizations of the positive muons can be measured with a precision of 10-20%. A nonzero value is indicative of a new CP violating interaction.There is presently no experimental information on the muon polarizationin th is decay. The experiment will search for the decay K->- e"*e~.Since Standard Model predictions lie below the sensitivity of the experi-ment, a positive result would be another indication of new physics. Theexperiment also proposes to search for other rare decays: K + ir°e+e~;

Spokesman: P.B. Price

This experiment proposes to use a stack of CR-39 plastic track detectorsto look for fractionally charged projectile fragments produced in col-lisions of 15A GeV sulfur nuclei with lead targets. The expected chargeresolution is a, = 0.06e for fragments with 19 e/3 < Z < 47e/3. Usingsimilar equipment, an upper limit of ~ 10"^ has been set on the fractionof projectile fragments with fractional charge in 2.1A GeV argon colli-sions with a plastic targec at the LBL Bevalac. Theoretical consider-ations suggest that, if QCD is broken, quarks might become separatedduring a nucleus-nucleus collision and form quark-nucleus complexes ifthe CM energy is high enough. With its order-of-magnitude higher energythan the Bevalat the Brookhaven heavy ion accelerator may permit thisgoal to be achieved.

Additional goals of the experiment are to measure the interaction meanfree paths of projectile fragments, to look for forward-directed frag-ments with higher Z than the projectile, and to measure the dependence ofdetector response on Lorentz factor of the beam.

This experiment will scatter a high intensity unpolarized proton beamfrom a polarized proton target and measure the left-right asymmetry orAnalyzing Power in proton-proton elast ic scattering. The elastic differ-e n t i a l cross-sections in different in i t ia l spin states in the large-P^region from 6.5 to 8 (GeV/c) will be measured. The phvsics motivationis both the study of the totally unexplored area beyond P^ = 6.5 (GeV/c)and the improvement of the precision at 6.5 (GeV/c) where recent AGSexperiment E748 found a huge and unexpected value of A. The experimentwill observe whether A continues to rise sharply in this previously unex-plored hard-scattering region.

This experiment proposes to measure Qa. (antineutron velocity*annihila-t ion cross section) for antineutron-protor annihilation at energies ex-tremely close to f?N threshold. This quantity is proportional to theimaginary part of the 1=1 SN 5—wave scattering length. Such a measure-ment may reveal dramatic departures from the classical Bo = constantdependence, which would be suggestive of the existence of bound NKs ta t e s . The energy region in question (T- * 1 MeV) has never been ex-plored, and may be studied with practical upgrades to the existing E767apparatus. The measurement would be complimentary to recently completedE767, which measured antineutron-proton annihilation cross sections athigher energies (5 < T- < 125 MeV). Analysis of data is in progress.

This experiment proposes to extend the (TT+,K+) measurements of E758 bysearching for high-spin hypernuclear scates in 1 60, 2 8Si, and ^Ca and bysearching for dibaryon resonances in deuterium. Targets of i2C and 160will be examined to establish confidence in the calculated quasi-freeproduction. The experimenters intend to measure the ground state excita-tion in Z8Si and possibly 40Ca and to look for highly-excited, deep-lyingstates in 12C.

This experiment proposes to search for fractional charges produced inheavy-ion collisions at the BNL heavy-ion accelerator. Mercury will serveboth as a production target and to stop reaction products. It will sub-sequently be distilled, then searched for quarks by a thoroughly provenautomated Millikan technique.

The target will consist of a number of "tuna-can" shaped containers ofmercury, arranged in the form of a long cylinder, with a radius of about0.5 hadronic interaction lengths and with a length of 11 interactionlengths. It is designed to stop most hadronic secondaries produced inthe heavy-ion collisions.

The mercury from the target will be distilled down to a lOO-milligramresidue with fractionally charged particles being retained in the residueby image-charge forces and an applied electric field. An estimated onemilligram of the final residue can be searched for fractional chargesusing the stable-matter quark search apparatus at San Francisco StateUniversity. A sensitivity to one fractional charge per 101*1 heavy-ioncollisions is expected, an improvement of 101* over the current limit, setat an energy eight times lower.

In addition four liquid-nitrogren tanks will be placed in the beam. Frac-tionally charged particles stopping in these tanks will be collected ongold-plated glass fibers biased at ± 5000 V. After the exposure the goldwill be dissolved in small mercury drops, which will be measured in trieSFSU Millikan apparatus.

An experiment using 32S and 160 beams from the Tandera-AGS accelerator at T/A=14.6GeV/a.m.u. is proposed. Semi-inclusive spectra of p~, T~, K~, d, a, and $ will bemeasured with a 25 msr single arm magnetic spectrometer. The primary physics goalis to establish effective temperatures in the hard nucleus-nucleus collisions andto measure particle production cross sections. These quantities may indicate ifphase transition to a quark-gluon plasma has taken place. Particle identificationfor p, IT, and K will be provided up to 5 GeV/c. Neutral transverse energy-flowwill be recorded using a segmented Pb-glass wall. The trigger arrangements, inaddition to the Pb-glass, encompass a 5000 pad proportional tube arrangement formultiplicity, a 0° thin scintillator to veto events with high Z forward going pro-ject i le fragments, and a beam calorimeter. A 1 msr solid angle complex of threegas Cerenkov counters with TOF and tracking will be used in conjunction with thespectrometer to measure and identify 5 to 20 GeV/c secondaries. The experimentfeatures an active target.

Evidence indicates that the axion must have a light mass (ma - 10 5eV),

and it has been suggested that axions may form the dark matter in thegalaxies. In spite of their weak coupling, axions can be detected throughtheir electromagnetic conversion to a photon in the presence of a strongstatic field.

The detector consists of a copper microwave cavity located in a 6.6Tsuperconducting solenoid with a 20 cm bore and 50 cm in length. The sig-nal from a field probe in the cavity is amplified by a GaAs FET followedby two stages of mixing and detected by an FFT. The cavity is tuned by amovable sapphire rod which is inserted into the cavity under computercontrol.

Data taking began in August 1986 at a frequency of v = 1.090 GHz and it isplanned to search the region up to v = 6 GHz. A set of six cavities willbe used over this range. The detector sensitivity corresponds to an ef-fective noise temperature T N = 0.1'K. A search for continuum radiationthat couples to the electromagnetic field in the same way as the axion isalso being carried out.

There are future plans for the construction of a 17T coil and for extend-ing the search to the range 6 < v < 20 GHz.

This experiment proposes to expose stacks of plastic nuclear track detec-tors at the Tandem-AGS Accelerator Complex to 15 GeV/amu 32S beam. Nu-clear fragmentation cross sections of beam nuclei and fragments withcharges Z > 6 will be measured for collisions with different targets. Theenergy independence of the cross sections and the validity of the factor-ization of these cross sections into a target and a projectile-related-part at high energies will be tested. The experiment is designed to de-tect unexpected large emission angles of the fragments. The anomalousinteraction mean free path effect will also be investigated. A new tech-nique of automatic readout for the plastic detectors will be used whichwill allow the measurement of large quantities of tracks in these passivedetectors.

This experiment proposes to use nuclear track emulsions for investigatinginteractions of 1 6 0 , 32S and, when available, 108Ag and 197Au nuclei inlight (plastic) and heavy (emulsion and lead) targets. Emphasis will beplaced on the analysis of central collisions by selecting events exceedinga given threshold of target excitation, as defined by the number of lowenergy fragments emitted from the target nucleus.

Measurements in the emulsions will include (1) the charges and emissionangles of the projectile fragments, (2) the number and emission angles ofthe produced charged particles, (3) the number and angular distributionsof heavily ionizing particles emitted from the emulsion target nuclei,and, for a subset of the events (4), the number and energy of electronpairs in restricted angular regions. The data will permit studies of (1)projectile fragmentation modes, including transverse momentum distribu-tions and possible dependences on th<e topology of the interactions, (2)the pseudo-rapidity distributions (including structure, correlations, etc)of charged particles and the dependence of the multiplicy on the number ofinteracting nucleons, and (3) the possibility of enhanced production ofdirect photons/electrons in high density matter.

The experimenters will look for anomalous behavior in rapidities (or pseudo-rapidities), multiplicity, strangeness enhancements, P,(E^), energy flow;possibly observe Hanbury-Brown and Twiss effects, deflagration (detona-tions), and other new phenomena. These observations will be on an event-by-event basis so that particularly interesting classes of events can beselected and added together to search for new effects implying a QGP orother new states of matter, in a manner which tends to maximize signal-to-background ratios.

This experiment proposes to measure the branching ratios for p(K~,Y)Aand p(K~,Y)£°as well as the weak radiative decay I+ + p + Y using stopped kaons from LESB II.These will be measured simultaneously using a large, high resolution Nal totalabsorption scintillation counter (TASC) to detect the photons. The weak radiativedecay A + n + Y will be measured in the second half of the experiment. K~ will bestopped in LH2- The photon spectrum in coincidence with a K~ stop will contain theradiative capture photons. The radiative capture branching ratio for Kp + AY isexpected to be measured to a few percent. The observation of the I°Y final stateis less certain as the branching ratio is completely unknown, We will have a sensi-tivity down to 7 x 10~5. These two ratios will provide detailed information on thequark wavefunct ions inside the A, Z°, and the A(1405). The weak radiative decayphotons will appear in two tagged spectra. A(E+) production will be tagged bydetecting the tnonoenerget ic Tr°(ir~) associated with their production. The branchingratio for weak radiative decay (WRD) of the E + will check several controversialexperiments. The branching ratio measurement for the WRD of the A will be thefirst measurement. We will also measure the branching ratio for K~d * nAY as wellas to study the backgrounds present. This will be the first measurement of radi-ative capture in deuterium and will determine the feasibility of other experimentsin deuterium. If the TASC has sufficiently good resolution, the spectrum in theendpoint region will provide information on the An scattering length.

This experiment proposes to study the strangeness -2 two baryon massspectrum from 100 MeV below the mass of the lightest known two baryonstrangeness -2 system, AA, to 20 MeV above the AA mass. The experimentis motivated by Jaffe's 1977 prediction of a six quark object withstrangeness -2 and J1t=0+ at a mass of 2150. This particle, called the"H", has been predicted by later bag models as well. Although th<» masscalculation is somewhat model dependent, the predictions are consideredwithin the expected range of sensitivity. The possibility of resonancesnear rns AA mass due to conventional meson exchange forces can also beexploded since the experiment covers the region both above and below theAA mass.

A possible ex-cess of exclusive events with electrons gives a tantalizing indication ofoscillations. The effect is based on about 20 events. Experiment 816should have an jider of magnitude more events.

Since the discovery that inclusively produced hyperons are polarized, theunderlying cause of the effect has remained a mystery. No perturbativeQCD predictions are possible for the kinematic range covered by experi-ment, but simple parton-based theories that explain the effect in termsof breaking of strings or Thomas precession of strongly acceleratedquarks have had a remarkable degree of success in explaining the effect.This experiment aims to measure the hyperon polarization when produced bya polarized proton beam. The question being addressed is how much thehyperon polarization is influenced by that of the proton. The experimenthas been performed for the case of lambdas produced by polarized protonsat 13 and 18 GeV/c. In rough agreement with the model, the lambda polar-ization is independent of that of the proton (D™ «• 0) and the left-rightasymmetry for lambda production is also near zero. We are eager to mea-sure the case of I" where the predicted effects are large ( D ^ ~ 2/3, A ~.2). This will provide a definitive test of these simple models as wellas further information on the mysterious case of the inclusive hyperonpolarization.

The aim of this experiment is to look for a JPC-exotic meson which cannotcouple to a quarkonium. Such a state is expected as a hybrid meson com-posed of a qq in color octet and a valence gluon. In particular, a hy-brid meson with JPC = 1~ and I = 1 is supposed to decay into the channelsD(1285)n and B(1235)n.

Spokesman: J. C. Hill

This experiment will extend measurements of electromagnetic dissociation(ED) in target fragmentation carried out on 59Co, 89Y, and 197Au targetsat the Bevalac and AGS. The experimenters now propose to bombard Co, Y,and Au targets with beams of 15 GeV/nucleon ^0 and 32S using the AGSheavy ion accelerator. For each target type three foils of successivelygreater thickness (ex. 50, 100, and 250 mg/cm2 Au) will be irradiatedsimultaneously in order to correct for the contributions of secondaryreactions which are significant for one-neutron out processes. The beamwill be monitored using appropriate wire and ion chambers.

The measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment or g-2 value ">f the muon to a preci-sion of 0.35 ppm which would represent an improvement by a factor of 20 over thefamed CERN muon storage ring experiment, has been proposed. The general method willbe the same as that of the latest CERN experiment, but with greatly improved statis-tics due to the high proton beam intensity of the AGS. Major improvements in themagnetic field uniformity and monitoring in the storage ring as well as improveddecay electron detectors and data acquisition electronics will reduce the systematicerrors. The primary aim of the AGS experiment is to measure the electroweak radiativecorrection to mtioa g-2 and thereby test the renormalizability of the standard theory.However, it will go beyond that goal and produce information on physics above 1 TeV byextending the search tor lepton substructure and testing speculative new theories, suchas supersymmetry.

This experiment proposes to verify a recent theoretical prediction of thepossible existence of strongly bound systems of the n-meson and nuclei:the n-mesic nuclei. This prediction is based on two facts: (1) recentanalysis of threshold ir~p + im production indicates that the n-nucleoninteraction is attractive at low energies; and (2) because of quantummechanical effects, a nucleus with sufficient size can cause this attrac-tion to develop strongly bound states that cannot exist between an etameson and a free nucleon.

This experiment proposes to search for ppA and nnA bound systems by usingthe (K~,TT~) reaction on a He target. Experimentation has confirmedthere is no bound state in the S = -1 two-body system. The lighteststrange bound system experimentally known is j He which has very smallbinding energy. Preliminary considerations predict a slightly unboundppA or nnA system; this cannot be taken as conclusive because of thelarge uncertainties of the three-body force. Experimental confirmationis desirable.

This experiment proposes to search for hypernuclear projectile fragmentsin the collision induced by 6 A*GeV/c and 14 A*GeV heavy ions. The pro-duction cross section of the hypernuclear fragment will provide informa-tion on the possibility of a secondary hyperbeam. If the ratio of thehyperfragraents to normal ones (= R) is large, the lives and other prop-erties of the hypernuclei can be studied. R is expected to increase morethan an order of magnitude at 6 A*GeV/c due to increased hyperon produc-tion, and because of better kinematical matching in the formation prob-ability of hyperfragments. In addition, secondary hyperon productionprocesses such as the K, reaction should contribute to the production ofthe hypernuclear fragments. The beam energy will be varied to see if theyield saturates at higher incident energy.

This experiment proposes to study short distance wave functions of had-rons for the case of large pt exclusive scattering to determine whetherthe basis for many large pt perturbative calculations using QuantumChromodyanmics (QCD) is correct. These calculations assume that at themoment of interaction (and for some time before and after) the hadronsconsist only of valence quarks which occupy a very small region in space.During this time, the interaction of such hadrons are anomalously small.

Using the apparatus of Exps. 755, 785 and 790, elastic scattering of 9GeV/c pions from protons inside nuclei will be measured. By observingthe dependence or ""'ie A of the nucleus, conclusions will be made whetherthe interaction o£ the incomiag and outgoing hadrons is anomalously smallor nearly the same as low pt processes. In the former case the crosssection will be proportional to Z and in the latter, it will grow veryslowly with A. Such a small hadronic cross section would be a strikingeffect independent of the precise mechanism.

The classical view of nuclear physics is that nucleons in nuclei have thesame properties as free nucleons. This approach has had substantialsuccess; however, recent data, as well as some problems in low energynuclear physics have led to a suggestion that the size of the nucleonincreases inside the nucleus, as a consequence of a change in quark-deconfineraent scale. It is important to test the hypothesis in a dif-ferent momentum regime and with a different probe. A measurement of theratio of K+-nucleus to K+-deuteron total cross section is proposed. Thisratio is predicted to be sensitive to the proposed change in the radiusof the nucleon in the nucleus.
