Triple Coincidence Beam Spin Asymmetry Measurements In Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering, Mustafa Canan Apr 2011

Triple Coincidence Beam Spin Asymmetry Measurements In Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering, Mustafa Canan

Physics Theses & Dissertations

The Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) provides hitherto the most complete information about the quark structure of hadron. GPDs are accessible through hard-exclusive reactions, among which Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) is the cleanest reaction. A dedicated DVCS experiment on Hydrogen (E00-110) ran in the Hall A at Jefferson Laboratory in Fall 2004. I present here Beam Spin Asymmetry (BSA) results for the epepγ reaction studied in the E00-110 experiment with fully exclusive triple coincidence H(e, e'γp ) detection. I present a re-calibration of the electromagnetic calorimeter used to detect the high energy photon. This calibration …

Experimental Results In Dis, Sidis And Des From Jefferson Lab, Sebastian E. Kuhn

Physics Faculty Publications

Jefferson Lab’s electron accelerator in its present incarnation, with a maximum beam energy slightly above 6 GeV, has already enabled a large number of experiments expanding our knowledge of nucleon and nuclear structure (especially in Deep Inelastic Scattering—DIS—at moderately high x, and in the resonance region). Several pioneering experiments have yielded first results on Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and other Deep Exclusive Processes (DES), and the exploration of the rich landscape of transverse momentum‐dependent (TMD) structure functions using Semi‐Inclusive electron scattering (SIDIS) has begun. With the upgrade of CEBAF to 12 GeV now underway, a significantly larger kinematic …
