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 …
