论文摘要

我们报告使用160〜GEV/$ C $ polarized $μ^{+μ^{+} $和$μ^{ - } $ beams在Compass上的旋转密度矩阵元件（SDME）的测量。该测量涵盖运动范围5.0〜GEV/$ C^2 $ $ <w <$ 17.0〜GEV/$ C^2 $，1.0（GEV/$ C $）$^2 $^2 $ $ <q^2 <$ <q^2 <$ 10.0（GEV/$ C $）（GEV/$ C $）$^2 $。在这里，$ w $表示最终的HADRONIC系统的质量，$ q^2 $交换光子的虚拟性和$ p _ {\ rm {t}} $相对于虚拟photon方向，$ρ^0 $梅森的横向动量。测量的非零SDME用于横向极化光子向纵向极化的媒介媒介（$γ^*_ t \ to v^{} _l $）的过渡的过渡表明违反了$ s $ -s $ - $ -CHANNEL HELICITICY HELICITITY CONCERATION。此外，我们观察到自然 - 交换过渡的主要贡献，以及不自然的 - 超级交换过渡的贡献很小，这与实验不确定性中的零兼容。结果为建模广义Parton分布（GPD）提供了重要的输入。特别是，它们可能允许一个人以模型依赖性的方式评估Parton Helicity-Flip GPD在独家$ρ^0 $生产中的作用。

We report on a measurement of Spin Density Matrix Elements (SDMEs) in hard exclusive $ρ^0$ meson muoproduction at COMPASS using 160~GeV/$c$ polarised $ μ^{+}$ and $ μ^{-}$ beams impinging on a liquid hydrogen target. The measurement covers the kinematic range 5.0~GeV/$c^2$ $< W <$ 17.0~GeV/$c^2$, 1.0 (GeV/$c$)$^2$ $< Q^2 <$ 10.0 (GeV/$c$)$^2$ and 0.01 (GeV/$c$)$^2$ $< p_{\rm{T}}^2 <$ 0.5 (GeV/$c$)$^2$. Here, $W$ denotes the mass of the final hadronic system, $Q^2$ the virtuality of the exchanged photon, and $p_{\rm{T}}$ the transverse momentum of the $ρ^0$ meson with respect to the virtual-photon direction. The measured non-zero SDMEs for the transitions of transversely polarised virtual photons to longitudinally polarised vector mesons ($γ^*_T \to V^{ }_L$) indicate a violation of $s$-channel helicity conservation. Additionally, we observe a dominant contribution of natural-parity-exchange transitions and a very small contribution of unnatural-parity-exchange transitions, which is compatible with zero within experimental uncertainties. The results provide important input for modelling Generalised Parton Distributions (GPDs). In particular, they may allow one to evaluate in a model-dependent way the role of parton helicity-flip GPDs in exclusive $ρ^0$ production.
