Radiative corrections to the lepton current in unpolarized elastic lp-interaction for fixed Q2 and scattering angle

A. Afanasev, A. Ilyichev

Summary: This paper discusses the kinematical difference in describing radiative effects in elastic lepton-proton scattering between fixed Q(2) and fixed scattering angles. It presents the calculation technique and explicit expressions for radiative corrections to the lepton current in unpolarized elastic lepton-proton scattering for these two cases without using an ultrarelativistic approximation. A comparative numerical analysis is performed within the kinematic conditions of Jefferson Lab measurements and MUSE experiment at PSI.

A reassessment of nuclear effects in muonic deuterium using pionless effective field theory at N3LO

Vadim Lensky, Franziska Hagelstein, Vladimir Pascalutsa

Summary: This study provides a systematic assessment of the nuclear contributions to the Lamb shift of muonic deuterium, including radiative corrections and higher-order corrections due to the single-nucleon structure. The findings reveal a correlation between the deuteron charge and Friar radii, and improve the theoretical description of the 2 gamma-exchange contribution, enhancing the agreement between theory and experiment.

Electromagnetic form factors in noncommutative space time

A. Rafiei, Z. Rezaei, A. Mirjalili

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of noncommutative spacetime on electron-proton elastic scattering and explores the physical meaning of form factors. The results show that using the polarization method in noncommutative spacetime can yield the same ratio of electric form factor to magnetic form factor as in normal spacetime, confirming the superiority of the polarization method in experimental measurements. Additionally, the pure noncommutative effect leads to the appearance of an extra ratio.

? and ? electromagnetic form factors in the extended vector meson dominance model

Bing Yan, Cheng Chen, Ju-Jun Xie

Summary: We propose a phenomenological extended vector meson dominance model that well describes the experimental data on the E and F-electromagnetic form factors in the timelike region. We also reproduce the ratios of the total cross sections of reactions e+e- -> E+E over bar -, E0E over bar 0, and E-E over bar +, achieving agreement with the experimental data. Furthermore, we analytically continue the expression of the form factors to the spacelike region and estimate the charge radii of the E and F-hyperons, obtaining agreement with experimental data for the charge radius of E-.

Guowei Zhang

Summary: This paper investigates the existence of nontrivial solutions to a nonlinear differential equation with a derivative term. By using topological degree and the first eigenvalue corresponding to the relevant linear operator, the existence of nontrivial solutions in the periodic boundary value problem is established. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the validity of the main results.

Sub-GeV U(1)R gauge boson to address the proton radius discrepancy

Carlos Alvarado, Alfredo Aranda, Cesar Bonilla

Summary: The study proposes a Standard Model extension using a U(1)(R) gauge symmetry, where only right-handed chiral fermions can carry a nontrivial charge. The simplest anomaly-free solution to accommodate the proton charge radius discrepancy involves right-handed muons, mu(R), and first generation quarks, u(R) and d(R). Consistency with the latest muon's (g - 2) measurements is achieved through an extra light scalar in the tens of MeV mass range.

Proton Electric Charge Radius from Lepton Scattering

Weizhi Xiong, Chao Peng

Summary: A proton is a bound state of strong interaction governed by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), and its electric charge radius is important for Quantum Electrodynamic (QED) calculations. However, there has been a discrepancy between measurements of proton charge radius from different methods. This review focuses on lepton-scattering measurements of proton charge radius, recent theoretical and experimental advancements, and future experiments in this field.

Nucleon axial and pseudoscalar form factors from lattice QCD at the physical point

C. Alexandrou, S. Bacchio, M. Constantinou, P. Dimopoulos, J. Finkenrath, K. Hadjiyiannakou, K. Jansen, G. Koutsou, B. Kostrzewa, T. Leontiou, C. Urbach

Summary: The nucleon axial and induced pseudoscalar form factors are computed using three ensembles of gauge configurations, one of which includes strange and charm quarks. The latter ensemble with finer lattice spacing and larger statistics is used for final results, while the other two are used to assess volume effects. The momentum dependence of these form factors and their relations based on pion pole dominance and the partially conserved axial-vector current hypothesis are examined.

On the Two-body Problem with Mass Loss Depending on Both Time and Radius Vector

Antonio Elipe, Manuel Calvo, Alberto Abad, Jose A. Docobo

Summary: The dynamics of the two-body problem with general mass-loss functions depending on both the independent variable and the radial distance are studied. By reducing the integration to a perturbed harmonic oscillator using appropriate changes of variables and solving it with the KB averaging method, approximate solutions with first-order accuracy in the small parameter epsilon can be obtained for all physical time t >= 0. These results extend previous studies of the authors for the first Gylden-Mestchersky problem.

Summary: Arc proton therapy (ArcPT) is an emerging modality in cancer treatments. This paper investigates three distinct problem statements in order to solve the ArcPT optimization problem. The results show that mixed-integer programming (MIP) performs the best in terms of dose quality and time delivery efficiency, especially for low scale problems.

Summary: The energy levels of hydrogen-like atomic systems can be calculated with great precision, which can be used to study nuclear structure. Through measuring the root-mean-square charge radius of the proton and comparing it with the value from electron scattering, it provides a benchmark for few-nucleon theories, lattice quantum chromodynamics, and electron scattering. The agreement also constrains several beyond-standard-model theories proposed to explain the proton-radius puzzle, establishing spectroscopy of light muonic atoms and ions as a precise tool for studies of nuclear properties.

Improved active fiber-based retroreflector with intensity stabilization and a polarization monitor for the near UV

Vitaly Wirthl, Lothar Maisenbacher, Johannes Weitenberg, Alexander Hertlein, Alexey Grinin, Arthur Matveev, Randolf Pohl, Theodor W. Haensch, Thomas Udem

Summary: The study introduces an improved active fiber-based retroreflector for high-quality wavefront-retracing anti-parallel laser beams in the near UV, with applications in precision spectroscopy of atomic hydrogen. Weak aberrations produced by the fiber collimator can be characterized through caustic measurement and limit the performance of the AFR, with implications for systems requiring collimated high-quality laser beams. Additionally, advancements in collimator design, alignment, and control have been made to stabilize the intensity of the wavefront-retracing beams and monitor polarization.

Summary: This study reports the first measurement of the average of the electron-proton and positron-proton elastic scattering cross sections, which shows that the lepton charge-averaged cross section is insensitive to the leading effects of hard two-photon exchange, providing more robust access to the proton's electromagnetic form factors. The data extracted from the OLYMPUS experiment at DESY will provide valuable constraints to future fits and offer selectivity between existing form factor global fits.
