A Modular Multi-Document Framework for Scientific Visualization and Simulation in Java

This paper presents the design and implementation of a modular multi-document interface (MDI) framework for scientific visualization and simulation in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) ecosystem. The framework emphasizes architectural separation between visualization layers, simulation engines, and optional hardware-accelerated 3D rendering. 3D functionality is isolated into a separate module to prevent unnecessary dependency coupling in 2D-only applications. We describe the core abstractions, threading model, simulation integration strategy, and dependency isolation approach. A case study involving a real-time 3D gas expansion simulation integrated with synchronized 2D entropy plotting demonstrates architectural cohesion. The framework is publicly available via Maven Central and targets long-lived scientific and engineering desktop applications.

Measurement of the generalized form factors near threshold via $γ^* p \to nπ^+$ at high $Q^2$

We report the first extraction of the pion-nucleon multipoles near the production threshold for the $nπ^+$ channel at relatively high momentum transfer ($Q^2$ up to 4.2 $\rm{GeV^2}$). The dominance of the s-wave transverse multipole ($E_{0+}$), expected in this region, allowed us to access the generalized form factor $G_1$ within the light-cone sum rule (LCSR) framework as well as the axial form factor $G_A$. The data analyzed in this work were collected by the nearly $4π$ CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) using a 5.754 $\rm{GeV}$ electron beam on a proton target. The differential cross section and the $π-N$-multipole $E_{0+}/G_D$ were measured using two different methods, the LCSR and a direct multipole fit. The results from the two methods are found to be consistent and almost $Q^2$ independent.
