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 …


Spin Structure Of The Deuteron, Nevzat Guler Jan 2009

Spin Structure Of The Deuteron, Nevzat Guler

Physics Theses & Dissertations

Double spin asymmetries for the proton and the deuteron have been measured in the EG1b experiment using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. Longitudinally polarized electrons at energies 1.6, 2.5, 4.2 and 5.7 GeV were scattered from longitudinally polarized NH3 and ND3 targets. The double spin asymmetry A|| for the proton and the deuteron has been extracted from these data as a function of W and Q2 with unprecedented precision. The virtual photon asymmetry A1 and the spin structure function g1 can be calculated from these measurements by using parametrization to the world data for the virtual …
