We report the measurement of the helicity asymmetry $E$ for the $p\pi^0$ and $n\pi^+$ final states using, for the first time, an elliptically polarized photon beam in combination with a longitudinally polarized target at the Crystal Ball experiment a

Light-yield response of liquid scintillators using 2--6 MeV tagged neutrons

Autor: Mauritzson, N., Fissum, K. G., Annand, J. R. M., Perrey, H., Jebali, R. Al, Backis, A., Hall-Wilton, R., Kanaki, K., Maulerova-Subert, V., Messi, F., Frost, R. J. W., Rofors, E., Scherzinger, J.

Knowledge of the neutron light-yield response is crucial to the understanding of scintillator-based neutron detectors. In this work, neutrons from 2--6 MeV have been used to study the scintillation light-yield response of the liquid scintillators NE

A first measurement of the polarisation transfer from a circularly-polarised photon to the final state neutron ($C^n_{x'}$) in deuterium photodisintegration has been carried out. This quantity is determined over the photon energy range 370~--~700~MeV

The strong interaction is not well understood at low energy, or for interactions with low momentum transfer $Q^2$, but one of the clearest insights we have comes from Chiral Perturbation Theory ($\chi$PT). This effective treatment gives testable pred
