Measurement of the Σ− charge radius by Σ−–electron elastic scattering

Abstract: The Σ − mean squared charge radius has been measured in the space-like Q 2 range 0.035-0.105 GeV 2 /c 2 by elastic scattering of a Σ − beam off atomic electrons. The measurement was performed with the SELEX (E781) spectrometer using the Fermilab hyperon beam at a mean energy of 610 GeV/c. We obtain r 2 ch Σ − = (0.61 ± 0.12 (stat.) ± 0.09 (syst.)) fm 2 . The proton and π − charge radii were measured as well and are consistent with results of other experiments. Our result agrees with the recently measured stron… Show more

“…[643] for a compilation). Therefore, fitting theory to experiment allows one to extract the proton charge radius R E = 0.84087 (39). Its value is an order of magnitude more precise than the one obtained with electron measurements, but it is also by 7σ smaller than the CODATA value -hence the proton radius puzzle.…”

“…While there is abundant experimental information on nucleon electromagnetic structure, our experimental knowledge of hyperons is limited to their static properties [39][40][41][42]. First measurements of hyperon form factors at large timelike photon momenta have been recently presented by the CLEO collaboration [43].…”

“…The composite structure of hadronic bound states is encoded in their form factors. While there is abundant experimental information on the nucleon electromagnetic structure [1,2], our experimental knowledge of the structure of other baryons and, in particular, of those with strange-quark content (hyperons) is scarce and limited to some values for static properties [3][4][5][6][7]. First measurements of hyperon form factors at large time-like photon momentum have been presented recently by the CLEO collaboration [8].…”
