Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Tsung-Shung Lee Project Name: anl-dcc Division: PHY Project title: Dynamical coupled-channel analysis of hadrons at Argonne Associated funding: DOE Other Systems: NERSC Science: This project will develop theoretical approaches for studying the spectrum and structure of excited baryon states within the fundamental theory of strong interaction; Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The results will provide information for advancing our understanding of strong interactions and structure of visible matter in universe. Project description: In 2016-2017, we have applied the ANL-Osaka 8-channel coupled-channel model of pi-N and gamma-N reactions to extract the N-N*(nucleon resonances) transition form factors from the Jlab's data of pion electro-production reactions. The results for the well-established N* with masses lower than about 1.6 GeV are robust for testing the predictions from LQCD and various hadron models. A paper describing our results is being prepared for a publication in Physical Review. Our analysis has also demonstrated that the data with pi-N, eta-N, and KN production channels are not sufficient to obtain reliable results for the higher mass N* (> 1.6 GeV) which couple strongly with the two-pions and omega production channels. In 2017-2018, we plan to extend our code to include the data of these two channels in our analysis, as a step to improve our results for the higher mass N* and also as a necessary step to analysize the next-generation data which will soon be obtained from the new experiments to be performed at JLab with 12 GeV upgrade and J-PARC in Japan. Accordingly, we will need much more computation resources than what were needed in the analysis in 2013-2017. The information on the higher mass N* is essential to establish the spectrum of baryons within QCD. We have used ANL-Osaka model to investigate the electroweak pion production reactions on the deuteron. Our results reveal a substantial final state interaction effects and hence must be taken into account in extracting the photo-neutron and the neutrino-neutron cross sections from the data on the deuteron target. Our predictions have provided information to assess the validity of various cut-procedures used by experimentalists to analyze the data from JLab and Mainz in Germany. We will continue this effort in 2017-2018, focusing on the polarization observables which are essential in determining the excitations of neutron to N* states. The neutron-N* transitions are needed to determine the isospin structure of the N* states for testing LQCD and various hadron models. A model for the Kd¯ → πY N reactions with Y = Λ, Σ is developed, aiming at establishing the low-lying Λ and Σ hyperon resonances through analyzing the forthcoming data from the J-PARC E31 experiment. The off-shell amplitudes generated from the ANL-Osaka dynamical coupled-channel model are used as input to the calculations. The predictions have been made for the forthcoming experimental tests. In particular, the question on the existence of a low-lying J(P) = 1/2(+) Σ resonance with a pole mass MR = 1457 − i39 MeV will be resolved. In 2017-2018, we will extend this investigation to also investigate the possible di-baryon states with strangeness S=-2 associated with K(+)d → K(-)YY.
