[Halld-physics] [GlueX] J/psi paper accepted for publication in PRL

[Sean Dobbs]

Dear all,

To follow up on the summary for PRL for the J/psi paper, please find
below some proposed text along with the detailed guidelines for the
summary from the APS website.  Briefly, a roughly 200 word summary is
requested along with a "headline" describing the results at the level
of "non-scientists"

If you have any comments on this, please send them to the authors at
the J/psi paper discussion mailing list: gluex-jpsi at googlegroups.com

Cheers,
Sean


Suggested submission:

GlueX measures J/psi production near threshold energies, yields
insight into proton mass and "charmed" pentaquarks

The GlueX Experiment has measured the production rates of the J/psi
particle, which consists of a charm quark and charm antiquark, in
photon-proton interactions just above the threshold for J/psi
production.  The J/psi and the proton interact by exchanging gluons,
the carriers of the strong force which binds the quark constituents of
the proton together.  This measurement is in a region that has been
barely explored experimentally, and provides important insight on the
distributions of the gluons in the proton and their contribution to
the proton mass.  Another potential product of this reaction is the
"charmed" pentaquarks observed by the LHCb experiment, which If seen
would be the first independent confirmation of these "exotic"
particles. As the name says, the pentaquark is built of five quarks,
unlike the "standard" hadrons that consist of two or three quarks. No
evidence for these particles is seen, which provides an important
constraint on their nature, and another step towards understanding
which bound states of quarks and gluons are allowed to exist.


APS Guidlines:

To Have Your Paper Considered for Coverage:

Write a one-paragraph summary that explains what you did and why it's
important at the level of a NON-SCIENTIST. See below for hints on
writing a good summary.
* Put a newspaper-style headline at the top of your text to summarize
the result.
* Send your plain text summary (no LaTeX or Word documents) to
author-summaries at aps.org with the subject line "summary [accession
code]".
* You may attach one or a few small, low-resolution image files.
Preferred formats are jpeg/jpg, gif, and png. These images are to
enhance the summary, not for consideration for the PRL cover.
* Please notify your institution's public information or press office
regarding your paper's acceptance for publication, and if you write a
summary, send it to them. They may even be able to help you write the
summary, or they may want to mention the work in their own
publications or want to inform your local media. (You may be able to
find their email address by searching for your institution at
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.newswise.com_resources_ncd_&d=DwIGaQ&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=p3b5acpwYNkmZ3alLqoe1DpcHi6vq5JvK_7ohJe1WqI&m=h5VLfzSzIiBlQxQWXytwOhrdixXMfAXp4SRi3G89SBc&s=zgWz9CX_4rPPnfgVbSOvNDqkRpKT22IWkXL5Qc9L1tY&e= .)

Hints for Writing a Good Summary

* Be brief. 200 words is usually enough. Shorter summaries are usually
better because they include fewer details that tend to distract from
the main points.
* Try to get to the "bottom line" in the first sentence or two before
stepping back to go over background information. Think of the way a
newspaper article is written, with the most important points at the
top.
* Aim your summary at the general public, not physicists. Using this
style helps the editors to visualize how the topic could be presented
to a general audience. Avoid or define any jargon. State why your
result is important in direct terms, even if it seems obvious.
* Clearly distinguish between what is new in your paper and what is
merely background information. Your summary may contain some brief
discussion of previous work, but make it obvious where you are
switching to discussing the new work.
