RESUMO
We measured the g_{1} spin structure function of the deuteron at low Q^{2}, where QCD can be approximated with chiral perturbation theory (χPT). The data cover the resonance region, up to an invariant mass of W≈1.9 GeV. The generalized Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum, the moment Γ_{1}^{d} and the spin polarizability γ_{0}^{d} are precisely determined down to a minimum Q^{2} of 0.02 GeV^{2} for the first time, about 2.5 times lower than that of previous data. We compare them to several χPT calculations and models. These results are the first in a program of benchmark measurements of polarization observables in the χPT domain.
RESUMO
We report on the first measurement of the F(2) structure function of the neutron from the semi-inclusive scattering of electrons from deuterium, with low-momentum protons detected in the backward hemisphere. Restricting the momentum of the spectator protons to â²100 MeV/c and their angles to â³100° relative to the momentum transfer allows an interpretation of the process in terms of scattering from nearly on-shell neutrons. The F(2)(n) data collected cover the nucleon-resonance and deep-inelastic regions over a wide range of Bjorken x for 0.65
RESUMO
The reaction 2H(e,e'p)n has been studied with full kinematic coverage for photon virtuality 1.75
RESUMO
We extract the Bjorken integral Gamma1(p-n) in the range 0.17 < Q2 < 1.10 GeV2 from inclusive scattering of polarized electrons by polarized protons, deuterons, and 3He, for the region in which the integral is dominated by nucleon resonances. These data bridge the domains of the hadronic and partonic descriptions of the nucleon. In combination with earlier measurements at higher Q2, we extract the nonsinglet twist-4 matrix element f2.
RESUMO
Double-polarization asymmetries for inclusive ep scattering were measured at Jefferson Lab using 2.6 and 4.3 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons incident on a longitudinally polarized NH3 target in the CLAS detector. The polarized structure function g(1)(x,Q2) was extracted throughout the nucleon resonance region and into the deep inelastic regime, for Q(2)=0.15-1.64 GeV2. The contributions to the first moment Gamma(1)(Q2)= integral g(1)(x,Q2) dx were determined up to Q(2)=1.2 GeV2. Using a parametrization for g(1) in the unmeasured low x regions, the complete first moment was estimated over this Q2 region. A rapid change in Gamma(1) is observed for Q2<1 GeV2, with a sign change near Q(2)=0.3 GeV2, indicating dominant contributions from the resonance region. At Q(2)=1.2 GeV2 our data are below the perturbative QCD evolved scaling value.
RESUMO
We have prepared cross-linked, bispecific mAb complexes (heteropolymers) that facilitate rapid and quantitative binding of a prototype pathogen, Escherichia coli, to the complement receptor (CR1) on primate erythrocytes. Incubation of the erythrocyte-heteropolymer-E. coli complexes with freshly isolated human mononuclear cells leads to rapid removal of the E. coli from the erythrocytes, and phagocytosis and killing of the bacteria. The erythrocytes are not lysed or phagocytosed during this transfer reaction, but both heteropolymer and CR1 are removed from the erythrocytes along with the E. coli. These findings parallel observations made in previous in vivo experiments in which heteropolymers were used to facilitate clearance of innocuous prototype pathogens in a monkey model. It should now be possible to extend the heteropolymer paradigm to a live pathogen in a primate model.
