Abstract: Cs2LiYCl6:Ce3+ (CLYC) is a promising new inorganic scintillator for gamma-ray spectroscopy and thermal neutron detection with the capability for pulse-shape discrimination (PSD). We verify the scintillation mechanisms responsible for optical emission under gamma- and neutron-induced excitation by fitting decay functions to the waveform structures. Under gamma-excitation, we observe the ultrafast, fast, intermediate, and slow scintillation mechanisms reported in the literature. Thermal neutron waveforms, however, show no evidence of ultrafast decay. We then investigate the thermal dependence of the waveforms in a range from - 20 to +50°C. Despite some thermally-variant emission components, we conclude that PSD is feasible at the range of temperatures investigated.

Abstract: Cs2LiYCl6:Ce (CLYC) is one of the most promising new scintillators for detecting both neutrons and gamma-rays. Its neutron and gamma-ray discrimination capability using pulse-shape analysis has drawn much attention, and there is significant interest in its use in field applications. For such applications, compact and low-power readout electronics capable of exploiting the pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) capabilities of CLYC will be essential. A readout system centered around a PSD-capable application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that is well-suited for use with CLYC has been characterized, tested, and validated. As part of this study, automated analysis of CLYC data collected with a fast waveform digitizer extracted optimized charge integration windows for PSD. Additionally, several different CLYC samples were studied in order to gain understanding of the dependance of pulse shapes on parameters such as crystal size, 6Li enrichment level, crystal packaging, and choice of PMT. Extremely good PSD performance was obtained from CLYC scintillator and the ASIC-based readout system.

Abstract: The $e p\to e^\prime p \rho^0$ reaction has been measured, using the 5.754 GeV electron beam of Jefferson Lab and the CLAS detector. This represents the largest ever set of data for this reaction in the valence region. Integrated and differential cross sections are presented. The $W$, $Q^2$ and $t$ dependences of the cross section are compared to theoretical calculations based on $t$-channel meson-exchange Regge theory on the one hand and on quark handbag diagrams related to Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) on the other hand. The Regge approach can describe at the $\approx$ 30% level most of the features of the present data while the two GPD calculations that are presented in this article which succesfully reproduce the high energy data strongly underestimate the present data. The question is then raised whether this discrepancy originates from an incomplete or inexact way of modelling the GPDs or the associated hard scattering amplitude or whether the GPD formalism is simply inapplicable in this region due to higher-twists contributions, incalculable at present., Comment: 29 pages, 29 figures

Abstract: Over 120 million vehicles enter the United States each year. Many are capable of transporting hidden nuclear weapons or nuclear material. Currently deployed X-ray radiography systems are limited because they cannot be used on occupied vehicles and the energy and dose are too low to penetrate many cargos. We present a new technique that overcomes these limitations by obtaining tomographic images using the multiple scattering of cosmic radiation as it transits each vehicle. When coupled with passive radiation detection, muon interrogation could contribute to safe and robust border protection against nuclear devices or material in occupied vehicles and containers.

Abstract: We developed two radiation mapping algorithms that can handle different situations based on prior information of the search area. The algorithms were developed in the framework of model-driven measurement, where a world model was used to drive measurement collection, and measurements were used to update the world model.We developed and experimentally tested a robotic implementation of two Bayesian-based radiation mapping strategies in two dimensions, using a commercially available desktop mobile robot fitted with a CsI radiation sensor. Our approach for implementing the Bayesian radiation mapping algorithms was to drive the robot over each segment of the search area, in real time, according to the radiation counts collected by the sensor. Future research directions include extensions to three-dimensional mapping; exploring and characterizing the tradeoffs between time efficiency, map confidence level, and utilization of prior knowledge information; as well as the implementation of Bayesian statistics for the online update of the world model.

Abstract: Highly penetrating cosmic ray muons constantly shower the earth at a rate of about 1 muon per cm2 per minute. We have developed a technique which exploits the multiple Coulomb scattering of these particles to perform nondestructive inspection without the use of artificial radiation. In prior work [1]-[3], we have described heuristic methods for processing muon data to create reconstructed images. In this paper, we present a maximum likelihood/expectation maximization tomographic reconstruction algorithm designed for the technique. This algorithm borrows much from techniques used in medical imaging, particularly emission tomography, but the statistics of muon scattering dictates differences. We describe the statistical model for multiple scattering, derive the reconstruction algorithm, and present simulated examples. We also propose methods to improve the robustness of the algorithm to experimental errors and events departing from the statistical model.

Abstract: The success of scattering muon tomography has prompted us to explore cosmic ray flux attenuation, electro-magnetic shower induction, and muonic X-ray emission as additional means for the non-destructive assay of small and medium size objects. We report on the value of the signatures of these processes as an adjunct to multiple scattering muon tomography. We discuss our experiments and the Monte-Carlo calculations of these processes, the type of information that can be drawn from their signatures, the cost and the value of this information. We discuss the general requirements for detector systems to make use of cosmic ray flux attenuation, induction of electro-magnetic showers, and muonic X-rays in muon tomography. We find that the attenuation of the cosmic ray flux allows for the inference of the density distribution for objects of automobile size and smaller with exposure times of order a few minutes. Our preliminary experiments and calculations have shown that using muonic X-rays to identify composition is exceedingly difficult, requiring months of exposure. Our experiments are not yet sensitive enough to detect muonic x-rays at the rates expected from previous accelerator experiments

Abstract: The Advanced Compton Telescope (ACT) has been selected by NASA for a one-year “vision mission” study. The study’s main goal is to determine feasible instrument configurations to achieve ACT’s sensitivity requirements, and to give recommendations for technology development. Space-based instruments operating in the energy range of nuclear lines are subject to complex backgrounds generated by cosmic rays, earth albedo radiations, trapped particles, and diffuse gamma rays; typically measurements are significantly background-dominated. Therefore accurate, detailed simulations of the background induced in different ACT configurations, and exploration of event selection and reconstruction techniques for reducing these backgrounds, are crucial to determining the capabilities of a given instrument configuration. The ACT simulation team has assembled a complete suite of tools that allows the generation of particle backgrounds for a given orbit, their propagation through any instrument and spacecraft geometry – including delayed photon emission from instrument activation – as well as the selection and reconstruction of Compton events in the given detectors. We describe here the scope of the ACT simulation effort and the suite of tools used.

Abstract: Gigahertz (GHz) imaging technology will be needed at high-luminosity X-ray and charged particle sources. It is plausible to combine fast scintillators with the latest picosecond detectors and GHz electronics for multi-frame hard Xray imaging and achieve an inter-frame time of less than 10 ns. The time responses and light yield of LYSO, LaBr3, BaF2 and ZnO are measured using an MCP-PMT detector. Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is an attractive material for fast hard X-ray imaging based on GEANT4 simulations and previous studies, but the measured light yield from the samples is much lower than expected.

Abstract: We report on the first measurement of the F2 structure function of the neutron from semi-inclusive scattering of electrons from deuterium, with low-momentum protons detected in the backward hemisphere. Restricting the momentum of the spectator protons to < 100 MeV and their angles to < 100 degrees relative to the momentum transfer allows an interpretation of the process in terms of scattering from nearly on-shell neutrons. The F2n data collected cover the nucleon resonance and deep-inelastic regions over a wide range of Bjorken x for 0.65 < Q2 < 4.52 GeV2, with uncertainties from nuclear corrections estimated to be less than a few percent. These measurements provide the first determination of the neutron to proton structure function ratio F2n/F2p at 0.2 < x < 0.8 with little uncertainty due to nuclear effects., 6 pages, 3 pages

Abstract: Identification and characterization of fissile material is of international concern because of the possibility of proliferation. For safeguards applications, techniques providing isotopic information are necessary [1]. However, few techniques can distinguish between fissile isotopes. Nuclear resonance fluorescence is one technique that can be used in applications to identify and quantify isotopic content. NRF has also been proposed in several detector systems as a viable way to identify fissile material in cargo containers [2, 3]. It is necessary to measure the characteristic resonances of each isotope that is to be distinguished in identification and assay applications.

Abstract: Photofission is the process in which a nucleus disintegrates into two daughter products after absorbing a photon. Photofission near threshold in actinides is very similar to spontaneous fission in terms of the number of emitted decay neutrons and their energy distribution. Most of the neutrons are in the ∼2 MeV energy range, and can be efficiently detected with liquid scintillator detectors. Thus, Prompt Neutrons from Photofission (PNPF) near threshold can be used as an excellent tool for the detection of actinides. Since the photofission cross section for most fissionable materials drops to near zero for incident photon energies of less than 6 MeV, a source of photons with a higher energy is needed, for example 9 MeV. At this energy interference from (γ, n) processes is minimal. Photon sources in this energy range are well suited for other non-intrusive inspection applications as well as searching for fissionable materials. Passport Systems, Inc. is currently operating a continuous wave (CW) 9 MeV electron accelerator and an array of liquid scintillator detectors to achieve this goal. Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) techniques are used determine the particle type. The remaining neutrons are also filtered through an in-house developed pileup rejection algorithm. The resulting neutron count is compared with the known background to determine the confidence level for possible shielded Special Nuclear Material identification. Initial testing of this system has been performed and the results will be presented. The results show the utility of a CW photon source as well as the ability to fuse the PNPF data with other data to reduce the dose to cargo, or scan times.

Abstract: We present a novel concept of the SNM imaging system based on cosmic-ray muon tracking in coincidence with neutron/gamma detection. The cosmic-ray flux at sea level is about 1 muon/sq. cm/minute. It is composed of nearly equal numbers of μ+ and μ-. In previous work, we have demonstrated that these muons can be used to image nuclear threats in relatively short times by measuring their multiple scattering through objects. Here we propose to image nuclear objects by combining tracking of the muons into a scene with measurements of the secondary particles produced when the muons stop in dense potentially fissile materials. We use multiple drift tube planes to trace incoming cosmic rays. Plastic scintillator serves as a detector of outgoing neutrons and gamma-rays. Additionally, the same plastic scintillator is used to estimate the energy of incoming cosmic-rays. We use a coincidence of n/gamma detection with the initial cosmic-ray trigger to suppress the background. The fissions produced by the stopped μ-generate fission chains that die away after several (∼5) fissions. Each fission produces ∼10 energetic gamma rays and ∼2.5 neutrons. Although a self-shielding needs to be considered, it is likely that tens of neutrons and gamma rays will escape from the object of typical configuration. The efficiency of detecting at least one of the products within ∼100 ns could be close to 100% for a detector of reasonably large solid angle (∼2 ster). Ten minutes of data should produce 50 trajectories from μ-stopped in 20 kg of U. These numbers can be scaled for other size objects. Our approach has no active source, and therefore it is safe for humans and has no effect on the object under inspection. The detectors are scalable and portable. The drift tubes of the detectors are sealed and do not need the gas replenishment. Detection and localization of SNM is achieved with automatic reconstruction algorithm, which can be run at a standard computer.

Abstract: We report on the results of the first measurement of exclusive f{sub 0}(980) meson photoproduction on protons for E{sub {gamma}}=3.0-3.8 GeV and -t=0.4-1.0 GeV{sup 2}. Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The resonance was detected via its decay in the {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} channel by performing a partial wave analysis of the reaction {gamma}p{yields}p{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}. Clear evidence of the f{sub 0}(980) meson was found in the interference between P and S waves at M{sub {pi}{sup +}}{sub {pi}{sup -}}{approx}1 GeV. The S-wave differential cross section integrated in the mass range of the f{sub 0}(980) was found to be a factor of about 50 smaller than the cross section for the {rho} meson. This is the first time the f{sub 0}(980) meson has been measured in a photoproduction experiment.

Abstract: Semi-inclusive {pi}{sup +} electroproduction on protons has been measured with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. The measurement was performed on a liquid-hydrogen target using a 5.75 GeV electron beam. The complete five-fold differential cross sections were measured over a wide kinematic range including the complete range of azimuthal angles between hadronic and leptonic planes, {phi}, enabling us to separate the {phi}-dependent terms. Our measurements of the {phi}-independent term of the cross section at low Bjorken x were found to be in fairly good agreement with pQCD calculations. Indeed, the conventional current fragmentation calculation can account for almost all of the observed cross section, even at small {pi}{sup +} momentum. The measured center-of-momentum spectra are in qualitative agreement with high-energy data, which suggests a surprising numerical similarity between the spectator diquark fragmentation in the present reaction and the antiquark fragmentation measured in e{sup +}e{sup -} collisions. We have observed that the two {phi}-dependent terms of the cross section are small. Within our precision the cos2{phi} term is compatible with zero, except for the low-z region, and the measured cos{phi} term is much smaller in magnitude than the sum of the Cahn and Berger effects.

The analysis is made using two approaches, dispersion relations and a unitary isobar model, which give consistent ${Q}^{2}$ behavior of the helicity amplitudes for the ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{*}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}$N(1440)P${}_{11}$ transition. It is found that the transverse helicity amplitude ${A}_{1/2}$, which is large and negative at ${Q}^{2}=0$, becomes large and positive at ${Q}^{2}\ensuremath{\simeq}2\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}$, and then drops slowly with ${Q}^{2}$. The longitudinal helicity amplitude ${S}_{1/2}$, which was previously found from CLAS $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{e}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathit{ep}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0},\mathit{en}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ data to be large and positive at ${Q}^{2}=0.4,0.65\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}$, drops with ${Q}^{2}$. Available model predictions for ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{*}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}$N(1440)P${}_{11}$ allow us to conclude that these results provide strong evidence in favor of N(1440)P${}_{11}$ as a first radial excitation of the $3q$ ground state. The results of the present paper also confirm the conclusion of our previous analysis for ${Q}^{2}l1$ GeV${}^{2}$ that the presentation of N(1440)P${}_{11}$ as a q$^{3}\mathrm{G}$ hybrid state is ruled out.

Abstract: Electroproduction of exclusive \ensuremath{\phi} vector mesons has been studied with the CLAS detector in the kinematic range $1.4\ensuremath{\leqslant}{Q}^{2}\ensuremath{\leqslant}3.8$ GeV${}^{2},0.0\ensuremath{\leqslant}{t}^{'}\ensuremath{\leqslant}3.6$ GeV${}^{2}$, and $2.0\ensuremath{\leqslant}W\ensuremath{\leqslant}3.0$ GeV. The scaling exponent for the total cross section as $1/({Q}^{2}+{M}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{2}){}^{n}$ was determined to be $n=2.49\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.33$. The slope of the four-momentum transfer ${t}^{'}$ distribution is ${b}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}=0.98\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.17$ GeV${}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$. Under the assumption of $s$-channel helicity conservation, we determine the ratio of longitudinal to transverse cross sections to be $R=0.86\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.24$. A two-gluon exchange model is able to reproduce the main features of the data.

Abstract: The light vector mesons ($\rho$, $\omega$, and $\phi$) were produced in deuterium, carbon, titanium, and iron targets in a search for possible in-medium modifications to the properties of the $\rho$ meson at normal nuclear densities and zero temperature. The vector mesons were detected with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) via their decays to $e^{+}e^{-}$. The rare leptonic decay was chosen to reduce final-state interactions. A combinatorial background was subtracted from the invariant mass spectra using a well-established event-mixing technique. The $\rho$ meson mass spectrum was extracted after the $\omega$ and $\phi$ signals were removed in a nearly model-independent way. Comparisons were made between the $\rho$ mass spectra from the heavy targets ($A > 2$) with the mass spectrum extracted from the deuterium target. With respect to the $\rho$-meson mass, we obtain a small shift compatible with zero. Also, we measure widths consistent with standard nuclear many-body effects such as collisional broadening and Fermi motion., Comment: 15 pages, 18 figures, 3 tables

Abstract: The exclusive electroproduction process $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{e}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{'}n{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ was measured in the range of the photon virtuality ${Q}^{2}=1.7\text{\ensuremath{-}}4.5 {\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}$, and the invariant mass range for the $n{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ system of $W=1.15\text{\ensuremath{-}}1.7 \mathrm{GeV}$ using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer. For the first time, these kinematics are probed in exclusive ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ production from protons with nearly full coverage in the azimuthal and polar angles of the $n{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ center-of-mass system. The $n{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ channel has particular sensitivity to the isospin \textonehalf{} excited nucleon states, and together with the $p{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ final state will serve to determine the transition form factors of a large number of resonances. The largest discrepancy between these results and present modes was seen in the ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{{\mathit{LT}}^{'}}$ structure function. In this experiment, 31,295 cross section and 4,184 asymmetry data points were measured. Because of the large volume of data, only a reduced set of structure functions and Legendre polynomial moments can be presented that are obtained in model-independent fits to the differential cross sections.

Abstract: 1 tex file (6 pages), 4 (eps) figures; The beam spin asymmetries in the hard exclusive electroproduction of photons on the proton (ep -> epg) were measured over a wide kinematic range and with high statistical accuracy. These asymmetries result from the interference of the Bethe-Heitler process and of deeply virtual Compton scattering. Over the whole kinematic range (x_B from 0.11 to 0.58, Q^2 from 1 to 4.8 GeV^2, -t from 0.09 to 1.8 GeV^2), the azimuthal dependence of the asymmetries is compatible with expectations from leading-twist dominance, A = a*sin(phi)/[1+c*cos(phi)]. This extensive set of data can thus be used to constrain significantly the generalized parton distributions of the nucleon in the valence quark sector.

Abstract: The photoproduction of vector mesons on various nuclei has been studied using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Laboratory. The vector mesons, $$\rho$$, $$\omega$$, and $$\phi$$, are observed via their decay to $e^+e^-$, in order to reduce the effects of final state interactions in the nucleus. Of particular interest are possible in-medium effects on the properties of the $$\rho$$ meson. The $$\rho$$ spectral function is extracted from the data on various nuclei, carbon, iron, and titanium, and compared to the spectrum from liquid deuterium, which is relatively free of nuclear effects. We observe no significant mass shift for the $$\rho$$ meson; however, there is some widening of the resonance in titanium and iron, which is consistent with expected collisional broadening.

Abstract: Differential cross sections for the reaction $\gamma p \to p \pi^0$ have been measured with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) and a tagged photon beam with energies from 0.675 to 2.875 GeV. The results reported here possess greater accuracy in the absolute normalization than previous measurements. They disagree with recent CB-ELSA measurements for the process at forward scattering angles. Agreement with the SAID and MAID fits is found below 1 GeV. The present set of cross sections has been incorporated into the SAID database, and exploratory fits have been extended to 3 GeV. Resonance couplings have been extracted and compared to previous determinations.

Abstract: In this paper we build on, and extend our previous work on automated nuclear search, by taking the principle of a bidirectional interaction between perception and the sensor management to the implementation level. In the algorithm that we implement in hardware, a model of the underlying physical process is used to guide measurement, which then closes the loop by updating the model. Realization of our "model-driven-measurement" concept leads to a working robotic prototype, capable of confirming the presence of weak radiation sources at the specified statistical confidence level, within a bounded, two-dimensional area. The contribution of this paper is in demonstrating that automated nuclear search is feasible, can be performed with commercially available robotic hardware and measuring devices, and that experimental data are consistent with existing theoretical and computational results.

Abstract: Differential cross sections for the reaction $$\gamma p \to K^{*0} \Sigma^+$$ are presented at nine bins in photon energy in the range from 1.7 to 3.0 GeV. The \kstar was detected by its decay products, $$K^+\pi^-$$, in the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. These data are the first \kstar photoproduction cross sections ever published over a broad range of angles. Comparison with a theoretical model based on the vector and tensor $K^*$-quark couplings shows good agreement with the data in general, after adjusting the model's two parameters in a fit to our data. Disagreement between the data at forward angles and the global angle-energy fit to the model suggests that the role of scalar $$\kappa$$ meson exchange in $t$-channel diagrams should be investigated.

Abstract: We measured angular distributions of differential cross section, beam analyzing power, and recoil polarization for neutral pion electroproduction at Q(2)=1.0 (GeV/c)(2) in 10 bins of 1.17 M-Delta. We performed a multipole analysis that adjusts suitable subsets of center dot(pi) Delta quadrupole ratios are not negligible. Parabolic fits to the W dependence around M-Delta for the multiple analysis gives values for Re(S1+/M1+)=(-6.61 +/- 0.18)% and Re(E1+/M1+)=(-2.87 +/- 0.19)% for the p pi(0) channel at W=1.232 GeV and Q(2)=1.0 (GeV/c)(2) that are distinctly larger than those from the Legendre analysis of the same data. Similarly, the multipole analysis gives Re(S0+/M1+)=(+7.1 +/- 0.8)% at W=1.232 GeV, consistent with recent models, while the traditional Legendre analysis gives the opposite sign because its truncation errors are quite severe.

Abstract: The cross section and decay angular distributions for the coherent \phi meson photoproduction on the deuteron have been measured for the first time up to a squared four-momentum transfer t =(p_{\gamma}-p_{\phi})^2 =-2 GeV^2/c^2, using the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The cross sections are compared with predictions from a re-scattering model. In a framework of vector meson dominance, the data are consistent with the total \phi-N cross section \sigma_{\phi N} at about 10 mb. If vector meson dominance is violated, a larger \sigma_{\phi N} is possible by introducing larger t-slope for the \phi N \to \phi N process than that for the \gamma N \to \phi N process. The decay angular distributions of the \phi are consistent with helicity conservation., Comment: 6 pages

Abstract: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Passport Systems have collaborated to perform nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) experiments using several high quality high-explosive simulant samples. These measurements were conducted to determine the feasibility of finding and characterizing high explosive material by NRF interrogation. Bremstrahlung photon beams, produced from electron beams of 5.1, 5.3, 8.3, 9 and 10 MeV, irradiated the samples. Gamma-rays emitted from the samples were detected using high-purity germanium detectors. Nitrogen-to-carbon ratios of the high-explosive simulants were extracted from the 5.1 and 5.3 MeV data and compare favorably with accepted values. Analysis of the 8, 9 and 10 MeV data is in progress; preliminary isotopic comparisons within the samples are consistent with the expected results.

Abstract: We report a new measurement of the exclusive electroproduction reaction gamma*_p --> pi0_p to explore the evolution from soft nonperturbative physics to hard processes via the Q2 dependence of the magnetic (M1+), electric (E1+), and scalar (S1+) multipoles in the N --> Delta transition. 9000 differential cross section data points cover W from threshold to 1.4 GeV/c2, 4pi center-of-mass solid angle, and Q2 from 3 to 6 GeV2/c2, the highest yet achieved. It is found that the magnetic form factor G^*M decreases with Q2 more steeply than the proton magnetic form factor, the ratio E1+/M1+ is small and negative, indicating strong helicity nonconservation, and the ratio S1+/M1+ is negative, while its magnitude increases with Q2.

Abstract: The reaction {gamma}p{yields}pK{sup +}K{sup -} was studied at Jefferson Lab with photon energies from 1.8 to 3.8 GeV using a tagged photon beam. The goal was to search for a {theta}{sup ++} pentaquark, a narrow, doubly charged baryon state having strangeness S=+1 and isospin I=1, in the pK{sup +} invariant mass spectrum. No statistically significant evidence of a {theta}{sup ++} was found. Upper limits on the total and differential cross section for the reaction {gamma}p{yields}K{sup -}{theta}{sup ++} were obtained in the mass range from 1.5 to 2.0 GeV/c{sup 2}, with an upper limit for a narrow resonance with a mass M{sub {theta}{sup ++}}=1.54 GeV/c{sup 2} of about 0.15 nb, 95% C.L.. This result places a stringent upper limit on the {theta}{sup ++} width {gamma}{sub {theta}{sup ++}}

Abstract: The exclusive reactions {gamma}p {yields} {bar K}{sup 0} K{sup +} n and {gamma}p {yields} {bar K}{sup 0} K{sup 0} p have been studied in the photon energy range 1.6--3.8 GeV, searching for evidence of the exotic baryon {Theta}{sup +}(1540) in the decays {Theta}{sup +} {yields} nK{sup +} and {Theta}{sup +} {yields} pK{sup 0}. Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The integrated luminosity was about 70 pb{sup -1}. The reactions have been isolated by detecting the K{sup +} and proton directly, the neutral kaon via its decay to K{sub S} {yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and the neutron or neutral kaon via the missing mass technique. The mass and width of known hyperons such as {Sigma}{sup +}, {Sigma}{sup -} and {Lambda}(1116) were used as a check of the mass determination accuracy and experimental resolution. Approximately 100,000 {Lambda}*(1520)'s and 150,000 {phi}'s were observed in the {bar K}{sup 0} K{sup +} n and {bar K}{sup 0} K{sup 0} p final state respectively. No evidence for the {Theta}{sup +} pentaquark was found in the nK{sup +} or pK{sub S} invariant mass spectra. Upper limits were set on the production cross section of the reaction {gamma}p {yields} {Theta}{supmore » +} {bar K}{sup 0} as functions of center-of-mass angle, nK{sup +} and pK{sub S} masses. Combining the results of the two reactions, the 95% C.L. upper limit on the total cross section for a resonance peaked at 1540 MeV was found to be 0.7 nb. Within most of the available theoretical models, this corresponds to an upper limit on the {Theta}{sup +} width, {Gamma}{sub {Theta}{sup +}}, ranging between 0.01 and 7 MeV.« less

Abstract: For the first time, the reaction gamma d -> Lambda n K+ has been analyzed in order to search for the exotic pentaquark baryon Theta+(1540). The data were taken at Jefferson Lab, using the Hall-B tagged-photon beam of energy between 0.8 and 3.6 GeV and the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS). No statistically significant structures were observed in the nK+ invariant mass distribution. The upper limit on the gamma d -> Lambda Theta+ integrated cross section has been calculated and found to be between 5 and 25 nb, depending on the production model assumed. The upper limit on the differential cross section is also reported.

Abstract: We demonstrate the principle of a bidirectional interaction between the perception model that describes the environment, and the sensor data collection that shapes the model, through the first automated scheme for sequential nuclear search. The objective is to detect and localize a weak radioactive point source, with consideration to the time spent for the search. Numerical simulations verify that desired false positive and false negative rates can be achieved using the control algorithm developed for deployment on prototype system. The simulation results are also consistent with previous theoretical, discrete simulation of the sequential search strategy that our continuous search control algorithm is based on.

Abstract: Inclusive electron scattering off the deuteron has been measured to extract the deuteron structure function F{sub 2} with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The measurement covers the entire resonance region from the quasielastic peak up to the invariant mass of the final-state hadronic system W{approx_equal}2.7 GeV with four-momentum transfers Q{sup 2} from 0.4 to 6 (GeV/c){sup 2}. These data are complementary to previous measurements of the proton structure function F{sub 2} and cover a similar two-dimensional region of Q{sup 2} and Bjorken variable x. Determination of the deuteron F{sub 2} over a large x interval including the quasielastic peak as a function of Q{sup 2}, together with the other world data, permit a direct evaluation of the structure function moments for the first time. By fitting the Q{sup 2} evolution of these moments with an OPE-based twist expansion we have obtained a separation of the leading twist and higher twist terms. The observed Q{sup 2} behavior of the higher twist contribution suggests a partial cancelation of different higher twists entering into the expansion with opposite signs. This cancelation, found also in the proton moments, is a manifestation of the 'duality' phenomenon inmore » the F{sub 2} structure function.« less

Abstract: We explored the cosmic ray flux attenuation, the induction of electro-magnetic showers, and muonic X-rays as a means to radiograph small scale objects. We are reporting on the value of the signatures provided by these physical processes to the muon tomography. The results of the related experiments and the Monte-Carlo calculations that we performed are discussed. Based on our data and our validated models we present the type of information that can be drawn from signatures of the above processes, the value, and the associated cost of this information. We discuss the general requirements to the detector systems that have to be met in order to reach the desired signal to noise ratio and make use of cosmic ray flux attenuation, induction of electromagnetic showers, and muonic X-rays in muon tomography

Abstract: The ratios of inclusive electron scattering cross sections of {sup 4}He, {sup 12}C, and {sup 56}Fe to {sup 3}He have been measured at 1 1.4 GeV{sup 2}, the ratios exhibit two separate plateaus, at 1.5 2.25. This pattern is predicted by models that include 2- and 3-nucleon short-range correlations (SRC). Relative to A=3, the per-nucleon probabilities of 3-nucleon SRC are 2.3, 3.1, and 4.4 times larger for A=4, 12, and 56. This is the first measurement of 3-nucleon SRC probabilities in nuclei.

Abstract: The ep {yields} e'pi{sup +}n reaction was studied in the first and second nucleon resonance regions in the 0.25 GeV{sup 2} < Q{sup 2} < 0.65 GeV{sup 2} range using the CLAS detector at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. For the first time the absolute cross sections were measured covering nearly the full angular range in the hadronic center-of-mass frame. The structure functions {sigma}{sub TL}, {sigma}{sub TT} and the linear combination {sigma}{sub T} + {epsilon}{sigma}{sub L} were extracted by fitting the {phi}-dependence of the measured cross sections, and were compared to the MAID and Sato-Lee models.

Abstract: The exclusive reaction gammap-->K0K+n was studied in the photon energy range between 1.6 and 3.8 GeV searching for evidence of the exotic baryon Theta+ (1540)-->nK+. The decay to nK+requires the assignment of strangeness S=+1 to any observed resonance. Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 70 pb-1. No evidence for the Theta+ pentaquark was found. Upper limits were set on the production cross section as function of center-of-mass angle and nK+ mass. The 95% C.L. upper limit on the total cross section for a narrow resonance at 1540 MeV was found to be 0.8 nb.

48. Optimizing the Tracking Efficiency for Cosmic Ray Muon Tomography

Abstract: We have built a detector capable of locating high Z objects in the sampling (middle) region of the detector. As atomic number increases, radiation length rapidly decreases, yielding larger variance in scattering angle. Cosmic ray muon tomography works by tracking muons above the sampling region, and tracking them below the region as well. The difference between the two trajectories yield information, via the muon scattering variance, of the materials contained within the sampling region [Borozdin, K, et al., 2003]. One of most important aspects of cosmic ray tomography is minimizing exposure time. The cosmic ray flux is about 1 cm-2 min-1, and the goal is to use them for detecting high-density materials as quickly as possible. This involves using all of the information possible to reconstruct tracks with redundant detectors. Detector scattering residuals yield a low precision measurement of muon energy. Knowing the rough energy of an incoming particle will yield more precisely the expected scattering variance (currently the expectation value of ~3 GeV is used).

Abstract: Differential cross sections for the reaction gamma p -> eta-prime p have been measured with the CLAS spectrometer and a tagged photon beam with energies from 1.527 to 2.227 GeV. The results reported here possess much greater accuracy than previous measurements. Analyses of these data indicate for the first time the coupling of the etaprime N channel to both the S_11(1535) and P_11(1710) resonances, known to couple strongly to the eta N channel in photoproduction on the proton, and the importance of j=3/2 resonances in the process., 6 pages, 3 figures

50. Optimized Strategies for Smart Nuclear Search

Abstract: In many applications the time available for nuclear materials detection is short, the signals are weak, and the backgrounds are large, variable, and difficult to control. We develop optimal strategies for nuclear search in these difficult conditions, and demonstrate these strategies in experiments. Model-driven algorithms promise to reduce search time by order of magnitude, with increased reliability of detection and reduced number of false positives. These strategies can be applied to various nuclear search scenarios, for both mobile and stationary detectors, hand-held detectors and sensors on robotic platforms. Our methods can be used against nuclear smugglers and terrorists, for safeguards and non-proliferation treaty monitoring, as well as in other situations where radioactive sources need to be found.
