[Pwg] [EXTERNAL] Positrons and TPE at QCD Town Hall

[sparveri at jlab.org]

Apologies if you receive this message twice.
I sent this message earlier through my university email (that is not
registered in the Pwg mailing list) and I got a response that it is being
held until the list moderator can review it for approval:


Dear Axel,

A non-TPE topic that can be pursued with a positron beam is the
electromagnetic polarizabilities of the proton.

Our most recent results from Hall-C point to an anomaly in the electric
generalized polarizability of the proton. The paper was accepted in Nature
three weeks ago, but it is not published yet. The use of positron beams
will enable an alternative experimental path to extend further this
program and to conduct an independent cross check of the effect. The
latter, as we all know, is extremely valuable in cases like that.

Feel free to refer to it in your talk, if you want to discuss "other
relevant avenues".
This of course could in principle fit also nicely in Carlos' talk, since
the electric GP (being the electric "strechability" of the proton) can be
discussed in the context of the 3D structure of hadrons.
If you, Carlos or Thia want input or a slide for your talks, please let me
know and I can prepare and send something.

Cheers,
Nikos
