Observation of the Charge Symmetry Breakingd+dHe4+π0Reaction Near Threshold

Abstract: We report the first observation of the charge symmetry breaking d + d → 4 He + π 0 reaction near threshold at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility. Kinematic reconstruction permitted the separation of 4 He + π 0 events from double radiative capture 4 He + γ + γ events. We measured total cross sections for neutral pion production of 12.7 ± 2.2 pb at 228.5 MeV and 15.1 ± 3.1 pb at 231.8 MeV. The uncertainty is dominated by statistical errors.Charge symmetry is the approximate symmetry of the strong interact… Show more

“…(1) has to be multiplied by cos θ q cos θ p before integration. This results in the following formula to determine A 5 : dσ dϕ = 8 9 πCA 5 I pS+sP (6) with σ (q, p) = σ (q, p) cos θ q cos θ p . It has to be noted that the coefficients A 0 , A 1 , and A 3 cannot be extracted unambiguously from the differential distribution dσ/dM3 Hen .…”

“…The first observation of the charge symmetry breaking dd → 4 Heπ 0 reaction was reported for beam energies very close to the reaction threshold [6]. At the same time information on CSB in np → dπ 0 manifesting itself in a forward-backward asymmetry became available [7].…”

“…The larger central value suggests a larger contribution to M p − M n from m d − m u , consistent with expectations from lattice QCD, thus impacting the phenomenology of Refs. [22][23][24][25][26][27]. With plausible model assumptions and additional input from lattice QCD, this knowledge can be used to provide a competitive estimate of the nucleon isovector magnetic polarizability, albeit still with a 100% uncertainty.…”

“…While the lattice calculations of m d − m u effects are robust, the contributions from electromagnetism are less mature and suffer from larger systematics, due in large part to the disparity between the photon mass and a typical hadronic scale. Improved knowledge of m d − m u and its effects in nucleons will enhance the ability to use effective field theory to compute a variety of isospin-violating (charge asymmetric) effects in nuclear reactions [7,[22][23][24][25][26][27]]. …”

“…In the past three years, progress in the description of one-and two-nucleon (N N ) systems was made on several fronts, including the renormalization of nuclear forces 6,7 , low-energy Compton scattering 8,9 , charge-symmetry breaking in pion production 10,11,12,13,14 , charge-symmetry breaking in the N N force 15,16 , and parity violation 17,18 . The EFT framework can be extended to more complex systems.…”
