A noticeable shift of the percolation threshold towards higher values of the metal phase volume concentration, which is observed in the plane of the film and in the perpendicular direction during the synthesis of composites with the addition of reactive gases, is attributed to the increase in the volume concentration of the dielectric phase.

Single-spin asymmetries for semi-inclusive electroproduction of charged pions in deep-inelastic scattering of positrons are measured for the first time with transverse target polarization. The ...asymmetry depends on the azimuthal angles of both the pion (phi) and the target spin axis (phi(S)) about the virtual-photon direction and relative to the lepton scattering plane. The extracted Fourier component sin((phi+phi(S))(pi)(UT) is a signal of the previously unmeasured quark transversity distribution, in conjunction with the Collins fragmentation function, also unknown. The component sin((phi-phi(S)(pi)(UT) arises from a correlation between the transverse polarization of the target nucleon and the intrinsic transverse momentum of quarks, as represented by the previously unmeasured Sivers distribution function. Evidence for both signals is observed, but the Sivers asymmetry may be affected by exclusive vector meson production.

A series of semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering measurements on deuterium, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon targets has been performed in order to study hadronization. The data were collected ...with the HERMES detector at the DESY laboratory using a 27.6 GeV positron or electron beam. Hadron multiplicities on nucleus

A recoil detector will be installed surrounding the internal gas target of the HERMES experiment at DESY. The recoil detector will improve the selection of exclusive events by a direct measurement of ...the momentum and track direction of the recoiling particle. The innermost layer of this recoil detector is a new silicon strip detector (SSD). Since Monte Carlo simulations predict proton momenta as low as 100 MeV/c, the SSD will be placed inside the HERA vacuum. A new setup of the electronics enables a dynamic range from below 4 fC at a signal-to-noise ratio of 6.8 up to 270 fC. In this paper, the assembly of the first module and the final setup within the HERMES experiment will be presented. Results from charge-injection tests of a prototype module are given.
The exclusive electroproduction of π+ mesons was studied with the HERMES spectrometer at the DESY laboratory by scattering 27.6 GeV positron and electron beams off an internal hydrogen gas target. ...The virtual-photon cross sections were measured as a function of the Mandelstam variable t and the squared four momentum −Q2 of the exchanged virtual photon. A model calculation based on Generalized Parton Distributions is in fair agreement with the data at low values of |t| if power corrections are included. A model calculation based on the Regge formalism gives a good description of the magnitude and the t and Q2 dependences of the cross section.
