Single And Double Spin Asymmetries For Pion Electro-Production From The Deuteron In The Resonance Region, Sharon L. Careccia Apr 2012

Single And Double Spin Asymmetries For Pion Electro-Production From The Deuteron In The Resonance Region, Sharon L. Careccia

Physics Theses & Dissertations

The single and double spin asymmetries At and Aet have been measured in π- electro-production off the deuteron using a longitudinally polarized electron beam and a polarized ND3 target. The electron beam was polarized using a strained GaAs cathode and the target was polarized using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization. The data were collected at beam energies of 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 and 4.2 GeV in Hall B at Jefferson Lab in the spring of 2001. The final state particles were detected in the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS). The d(e,e'π-p)p exclusive channel was identified using the missing mass …


Exclusive Π- Electro-Production From The Neutron In The Resonance Region, Jixie Zhang Apr 2010

Exclusive Π- Electro-Production From The Neutron In The Resonance Region, Jixie Zhang

Physics Theses & Dissertations

The study of baryon resonances is crucial to our understanding of nucleon structure. Although the excited states of the proton have been studied in great detail, there are very few data available for the neutron resonances because of the difficulty inherent in obtaining a free neutron target. To overcome this limitation, the spectator tagging technique was used in one of the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) collaboration experiments, Barely off-shell Nuclear Structure (BoNuS), in Hall-B at Jefferson Lab. We have constructed a radial time projection chamber (RTPC) based on the gaseous electron multiplier (GEM) technology to detect low momentum …
