RAPID COMMUNICATION

Updated T2K measurements of muon neutrino and antineutrino disappearance using $1.5 \times 1 0^{21}$ protons on target

K. Abe et al. (The T2K Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. D 96, 011102(R) (2017) - Published 31 July, 2017

T2K measured the neutrino mass difference $δ m_{32}^{2}$ and the mixing angle $θ_{23}$ both for neutrinos and, separately, for anti-neutrinos. Their results for the mass difference and mixing angle are not only highly competitive, but, since they show no difference in these two modes, provide important evidence that CPT is not violated within the accuracy of their measurements.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Double-longitudinal spin asymmetry in single-inclusive lepton scattering at NLO

Patriz Hinderer, Marc Schlegel, and Werner Vogelsang

Phys. Rev. D 96, 014002 (2017) - Published 10 July, 2017

The authors compute full next-to-leading order corrections (NLO) to the double longitudinal spin asymmetry in lepton nucleon collisions producing a jet or hadron. Comparison with data shows that discrepancies with the predictions remain, motivating further work on both the theory and experimental fronts.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Lattice calculation of electric dipole moments and form factors of the nucleon

M. Abramczyk, S. Aoki, T. Blum, T. Izubuchi, H. Ohki, and S. Syritsyn

Phys. Rev. D 96, 014501 (2017) - Published 10 July, 2017

The authors reexamine the form of the expression used to extract the nucleon EDM from lattice QCD calculations and discover a subtle additional subtraction due to mixing between form factors. They check their claim by comparing with a different method to compute the EDM. Applying their correction to previous computations they obtain more consistent results, albeit now all consistent with a vanishing EDM within errors.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Charge asymmetry in elastic scattering of massive leptons on protons

Oleksandr Koshchii and Andrei Afanasev

Phys. Rev. D 96, 016005 (2017) - Published 10 July, 2017

Elastic lepton-proton scattering has drawn considerable attention in recent years, particularly as it relates to the proton radius puzzle. In this paper, the authors improve on previous calculations of the charge asymmetry, including two-photon exchange effects without ultra-relativistic approximations. Their results are evaluated for the upcoming MUSE experiment.
