Item Two-Body Photodisintegration of the Deuteron up to 2.8 GeV(The American Physical Society, 1995-01) Belz, J.E.; Potterveld, D.H.; Anthony, P.; Arnold, R.G.; Arrington, J.; Beck, D.; Beise, E.J.; Bosted, P.E.; Bulten, H.-J.; Chapman, M.S.; Coulter, K.P.; Dietrich, F.; Ent, R.; Epstein, M.; Filippone, B.W.; Gao, H.; Gearhart, R.A.; Geesaman, D.F.; Hansen, J.-O.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, H.E.; Jones, C.E.; Keppel, C.E.; Kinney, E.R.; Kuhn, S.; Lee, K.; Lorenzon, W.; Makins, N.C.R.; Lung, A.; Margaziotis, D.J.; McKeown, R.D.; Meziani, Z.E.; Milner, R.G.; Mueller, B.; Napolitano, J.; Nelson, J.; O'Neill, T.G.; Papavassiliou, V.; Petratos, G.G.; Rock, S.E.; Segel, R.E.; Spengos, M.; Szalta, Z.M.; Tao, L.H.; van Bibber, K.; van der Brand, F.J.; White, J.L.; Zeidman, B.Measurements were performed for the photodisintegration cross section of the deuteron for photon energies from 1.6 to 2.8 GeV and center-of-mass angles from 37° to 90°. The measured energy dependence of the cross section at θc.m.=90° is in agreement with the constituent counting rules.Item Momentum transfer dependence of nuclear transparency from the quasielastic 12C(e,e’p) reaction(1994-03) Makins, N.C.R.; Ent, R.; Chapman, M.S.; Hansen, J.-O.; Lee, K.; Milner, R.G.; Nelson, J.; Bosted, P.E.; Keppel, C.E.; Lung, A.; Rock, S.E.; Spengos, M.; Szalata, Z.M.; Tao, L.H.; White, J.L.; Coulter, K.P.; Geesaman, D.F.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, H.E.; Papavassiliou, V.; Potterveld, D.H.; Zeidman, B.; Arrington, J.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, E.; Filippone, B.W.; Gao, H.; Lorenzon, W.; Mueller, B.; McKeown, R.D.; O'Neill, T.G.; Epstein, M.; Margaziotis, D.J.; Napolitano, J.; Anthony, P.L.; van Bibber, K.; Dietrich, F.S.; Gearhart, R.A.; Petratos, G.G.; Kuhn, S.E.The cross section for quasielastic 12C(e,e’p) scattering has been measured at momentum transfer Q2=1, 3, 5, and 6.8 (GeV/c)2. The results are consistent with scattering from a single nucleon as the dominant process. The nuclear transparency is obtained and compared with theoretical calculations that incorporate color transparency effects. No significant rise of the transparency with Q2 is observed.Item Evidence for virtual Compton scattering from the proton(1995-11) van der Brand, J.F.J.; Ent, R.; Anthony, P.L.; Arnold, R.G.; Arrington, J.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, J.E.; Bosted, P.E.; Bulten, H.-J.; Chapman, M.S.; Coulter, K.P.; Dietrich, F.S.; Epstein, M.; Filippone, B.W.; Gao, H.; Gearheat, R.A.; Geesaman, D.F.; Hansen, J.-O.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, H.E.; Jones, C.E.; Margaziotis, D.J.; McKeown, R.D.; Milner, R.G.; Mueller, B.; Napolitano, J.; Nelson, J.; Keppel, C.E.; Kinney, R.D.; Kuhn, S.; Lee, K.; Lorenzon, W.; Lung, A.; Makins, N.C.R.; O'Neill, T.G.; Papavassiliou, V.; Petratos, G.; Potterveld, D.H.; Rock, S.E.; Spengos, M.; Szalata, Z.M.; Tao, L.H.; van Bibber, K.; Wasson, D.A.; White, J.L.; Zeidman, B.In virtual Compton scattering an electron is scattered off a nucleon such that the nucleon emits a photon. We show that these events can be selected experimentally, and present the first evidence for virtual Compton scattering from the proton in data obtained at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The angular and energy dependence of the data is well described by a calculation that includes the coherent sum of electron and proton radiation.Item Charged pion form factor between Q2=0.60 and 2.45 GeV2. II. Determination of, and results for, the pion form factor(2008-10) Huber, G.M.; Blok, H.P.; Horn, T.; Beise, E.J.; Gaskell, D.; Mack, D.J.; Tadevosyan, V.; Volmer, J.; Abbott, D.; Aniol, K.; Anklin, H.; Armstrong, C.; Arrington, J.; Assamagan, K.; Avery, S.; Baker, O.K.; Barrett, B.; Bochna, C.; Boeglin, W.; Brash, E.J.; Breuer, H.; Chang, C.C.; Chant, N.; Christy, M.E.; Dunne, J.; Eden, T.; Ent, R.; Fenker, H.; Gibson, E.F.; Gilman, R.; Gustafsson, K.; Hinton, W.; Holt, J.; Jackson, H.; Jin, S.; Jones, M.K.; Keppel, C.E.; Kim, P.H.; Kim, W.; King, P.M.; Klein, A.; Koltenuk, D.; Kovaltchouk, V.; Liang, M.; Liu, J.; Lolos, G.J.; Lung, A.; Margaziotis, D.J.; Markowitz, P.; Matsumura, A.; McKee, D.; Meekins, D.; Mitchell, J.; Miyoshi, T.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Mueller, B.; Niculescu, G.; Niculescu, I.; Okayasu, Y.; Pentchev, L.; Perdrisat, C.; Pitz, D.; Potterveld, D.; Punjabi, V.; Qin, L.M.; Reimer, P.E.; Reinhold, J.; Roche, J.; Roos, P.G.; Sarty, A.; Shin, I.K.; Smith, G.R.; Stepanyan, S.; Tang, L.G.; Tvaskis, V.; van der Meer, R.L.J.; Vansyoc, K.; VanWestrum, D.; Vidakovic, S.; Vulcan, W.; Warren, G.; Wood, S.A.; Xu, C.; Yan, C.; Zhao, W.-X.; Zheng, X.; Zihlmann, B.; The Jefferson Lab Fπ CollaborationThe charged pion form factor, Fπ(Q2), is an important quantity that can be used to advance our knowledge of hadronic structure. However, the extraction of Fπ from data requires a model of the 1H(e,e'π+)n reaction and thus is inherently model dependent. Therefore, a detailed description of the extraction of the charged pion form factor from electroproduction data obtained recently at Jefferson Lab is presented, with particular focus given to the dominant uncertainties in this procedure. Results for Fπ are presented for Q2=0.60-2.45 GeV2. Above Q2=1.5 GeV2, the Fπ values are systematically below the monopole parametrization that describes the low Q2 data used to determine the pion charge radius. The pion form factor can be calculated in a wide variety of theoretical approaches, and the experimental results are compared to a number of calculations. This comparison is helpful in understanding the role of soft versus hard contributions to hadronic structure in the intermediate Q2 regime.Item Measurement of the spin-dependent asymmetry in 3→(e→,e′) inelastic scattering at low energy transfer(1995-09) Arrington, J.; Beise, E.J.; Bray, B.; Carr, R.W.; Filippone, B.W.; Gao, H.; Lung, A.; McKeown, R.D.; Mueller, B.; Pitt, M.L.; DeSchepper, D.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Ent, R.; Farkhondeh, M.; Hansen, J.-O.; Korsch, W.; Kramer, L.H.; Lee, K.; Makins, N.C.R.; Milner, R.G.; Teiger, D.R.; Welch, T.P.; Candell, E.; Napolitano, J.; Tripp, C.; Wojtsekhowski, B.B.We present the results of a measurement of the spin-dependent asymmetry in 3→(e→,e′) inelastic scattering at kinematics on the low-energy transfer side of the quasielastic peak, including the region near the breakup threshold. Comparison with existing calculations based upon the plane wave impulse approximation shows significant deviation between the data and the model near the breakup threshold. Good agreement between data and theory is seen at higher energy transfer.Item Measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor from inclusive quasielastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized 3He(1994-08) Gao, A.; Arrington, J.; Beise, E.J.; Bray, B.; Carr, R.W.; Filippone, B.W.; Lung, A.; McKeown, R.D.; Mueller, B.; Pitt, M.L.; Jones, C.E.; DeSchepper, D.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Ent, R.; Farkhondeh, M.; Hansen, J.-O.; Korsch, W.; Kramer, L.H.; Lee, K.; Makins, N.; Milner, R.G.; Teiger, D.R.; Welch, T.P.; Candell, E.; Napolitano, J.; Wojtsekhowski, B.B.; Tripp, C.; Lorenzon, W.We report a measurement of the asymmetry in spin-dependent quasielastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from a polarized 3He target. The neutron magnetic form factor GMn has been extracted from the measured asymmetry based on recent PWIA calculations using spin-dependent spectral functions. Our determination of GMn at Q2=0.19 (GeV/c)2 agrees with the dipole parametrization. This experiment represents the first measurement of the neutron magnetic form factor using spin-dependent electron scattering.Item Quasielastic (e,e′p) reaction on 12C,56Fe, and 197Au(2003-12) Dutta, D.; van Westrum, D.; Abbott, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Amatuni, A.; Armstrong, C.; Arrington, J.; Assamagan, K.A.; Bailey, K.; Baker, O.K.; Barrow, S.; Beard, K.; Beatty, D.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, E.; Belz, E.; Bochna, C.; Bosted, P.E.; Breuer, H.; Bruins, E.E.W.; Carlini, R.; Cha, J.; Chant, N.; Cothran, C.; Cummings, W.J.; Danagoulian, S.; Day, D.; DeSchepper, D.; Ducret, J.-E.; Duncan, F.; Dunne, J.; Eden, T.; Ent, R.; Fortune, H.T.; Frolov, V.; Geesaman, D.F.; Gao, H.; Gilman, R.; Gueye, P.; Hansen, J.O.; Hinton, W.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, C.; Jackson, H.E.; Jones, C.; Kaufman, S.; Kelly, J.J.; Keppel, C.; Khandaker, M.; Kim, W.; Kinney, A.; Klein, A.; Koltenuk, D.; Kramer, L.; Lorenzon, W.; Lung, A.; McFarlane, K.; Mack, D.J.; Madey, R.; Markowitz, P.; Martin, J.; Mateos, A.; Meekins, D.; Miller, M.A.; Milner, R.; Mitchell, J.; Mohring, R.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Nathan, A.M.; Niculescu, G.; Niculescu, I.; O'Neill, T.G.; Potterveld, D.; Price, J.W.; Reinhold, J.; Salgado, C.; Schiffer, J.P.; Segel, R.E.; Stoler, P.; Suleiman, R.; Tadevosyan, V.; Tang, L.; Terburg, B.; Welch, T.P.; Williamson, C.; Wood, S.; Yan, C.; Yang, J.-C.; Yu, J.; Zeidman, B.; Zhao, W.; Zihlmann, B.We report the results from a systematic study of the quasielastic (e,e′p) reaction on 12C, 56Fe, and 197Au performed at Jefferson Lab. We have measured nuclear transparency and extracted spectral functions (corrected for radiation) over a Q2 range of 0.64–3.25 (GeV∕c)2 for all three nuclei. In addition, we have extracted separated longitudinal and transverse spectral functions at Q2 of 0.64 and 1.8 (GeV∕c)2 for these three nuclei (except for 197Au at the higher Q2). The spectral functions are compared to a number of theoretical calculations. The measured spectral functions differ in detail but not in overall shape from most of the theoretical models. In all three targets the measured spectral functions show considerable excess transverse strength at Q2=0.64 (GeV∕c)2, which is much reduced at 1.8 (GeV∕c)2.Item Measurement of longitudinal and transverse cross sections in the 3He(e,e′π+)3H reaction at W=1.6 GeV(2001-12) Gaskell, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Ambrozewicz, P.; Anklin, H.; Arrington, J.; Assamagan, K.; Avery, S.; Bailey, K.; Baker, O.K.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, B.; Breuer, H.; Brown, D.S.; Carlini, R.; Cha, J.; Chant, N.; Cowley, A.; Danagoulian, S.; De Schepper, D.; Dunne, J.; Dutta, D.; Ent, R.; Gan, L.; Gasparian, A.; Geesaman, D.F.; Gilman, R.; Glashausser, C.; Gueye, P.; Harvey, M.; Hashimoto, O.; Hinton, W.; Hofman, G.; Jackson, C.; Jackson, H.E.; Keppel, C.; Kinney, E.; Koltenuk, D.; Lung, A.; Mack, D.; McKee, D.; Mitchell, J.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Mueller, B.; Niculescu, G.; Niculescu, I.; O'Neill, T.G.; Papavassiliou, V.; Potterveld, D.; Reinhold, J.; Roos, P.; Sawafta, R.; Segel, R.; Stepanyan, S.; Tadevosyan, V.; Takahashi, T.; Tang, L.; Terburg, B.; Van Westrum, D.; Volmer, J.; Welch, T.P.; Wood, S.; Yuan, L.; Zeidman, B.; Zihlmann, B.The coherent 3He(e,e′π+)3H reaction was measured at Q2=0.4 (GeV/c)2 and W=1.6 GeV for two values of the virtual photon polarization, ε, allowing the separation of longitudinal and transverse cross sections. The results from the coherent process on 3He were compared to H(e,e′π+)n data taken at the same kinematics. This marks the first direct comparison of these processes. At these kinematics (pπ=1.1 GeV/c), pion rescattering from the spectator nucleons in the 3He(e,e′π+)3H process is expected to be small, simplifying the comparison to π+ production from the free proton.Item Inclusive electron scattering from nuclei at x≃1(1996-05) Arrington, J.; Anthony, P.; Arnold, R.G.; Beise, E.J.; Belz, J.E.; Bosted, P.E.; Bulten, H.-J.; Chapman, M.S.; Coulter, K.P.; Dietrich, F.; Ent, R.; Epstein, M.; Filippone, B.W.; Gao, H.; Gearhart, R.A.; Geesaman, D.F.; Hansen, J.-O.; Holt, R.J.; Jackson, H.E.; Jones, C.E.; Keppel, C.E.; Kinney, E.R.; Kuhn, S.; Lee, K.; Lorenzon, W.; Lung, A.; Makins, N.C.R.; Margaziotis, D.J.; McKeown, R.D.; Milner, R.G.; Mueller, B.; Napolitano, J.; Nelson, J.; O'Neill, T.G.; Papavassiliou, V.; Petratos, G.G.; Potterveld, D.H.; Rock, S.E.; Spengos, M.; Szalata, Z.M.; Tao, L.H.; van Bibber, K.; van den Brand, J.F.J.; White, J.L.; Winter, D.; Zeidman, B.The inclusive A(e,e′) cross section for x≃1 was measured on 2H, C, Fe, and Au for momentum transfers Q2 from 1 to 6.8 (GeV/c)2. The scaling behavior of the data was examined in the region of transition from y scaling to x scaling. Throughout this transitional region, the data exhibit ξ scaling, reminiscent of the Bloom-Gilman duality seen in free nucleon scattering.Item Strange Quark Contributions to Parity-Violating Asymmetries in the Forward G0 Electron-Proton Scattering Experiment(2010-01) Armstrong, D.S.; Arvieux, J.; Asaturyan, R.; Averett, T.; Bailey, S.L.; Batigne, G.; Beck, D.H.; Beise, E.J.; Benesch, J.; Bimbot, L.; Birchall, J.; Hannelius, L.; Hasty, R.; Hawthorne-Allen, A.; Horn, T.; Johnston, K.; Jones, M.; Kammel, P.; Kazimi, R.; King, P.M.; Kolarkar, A.; Korkmaz, E.; Korsch, W.; Kox, S.; Kuhn, J.; Lachniet, J.; Lee, L.; Lenoble, J.; Liatard, E.; Liu, J.; Loupias, B.; Lung, A.; MacLachlan, G.A.; Marchand, D.; Martin, J.W.; McFarlane, K.W.; McKee, D.W.; McKeown, R.D.; Merchez, F.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Moffit, B.; Morlet, M.; Nakagawa, I.; Nakahara, K.; Nakos, M.; Neveling, R.; Niccolai, S.; Ong, S.; Page, S.; Papavassiliou, V.; Pate, S.F.; Phillips, S.K.; Pitt, M.L.; Poelker, M.; Porcelli, T.A.; Quemener, G.; Quinn, B.; Ramsay, W.D.; Rauf, A.W.; Real, J.S.; Roche, J.; Roos, P.; Rutledge, G.A.; Secrest, J.; Simicevic, N.; Smith, G.R.; Spayde, D.T.; Stepanyan, S.; Stutzman, M.; Sulkosky, V.; Tadevosyan, V.; Tieulent, R.; van de Wiele, J.; van Oers, W.; Voutier, E.; Vulcan, W.; Warren, G.; Wells, S.P.; Williamson, S.E.; Wood, S.A.; Yan, C.; Yun, J.; Zeps, V.; Biselli, A.; Bosted, P.; Boukobza, E.; Breuer, H.; Carlini, R.; Carr, R.; Chant, N.; Chao, Y.C.; Chattopadhyay, S.; Clark, R.; Covrig, S.; Cowley, A.; Dale, D.; Davis, C.; Falk, W.; Finn, J.M.; Forest, T.; Franklin, G.; Furget, C.; Gaskell, D.; Grames, J.; Griffioen, K.A.; Grimm, K.; Guillon, B.; Guler, H.We have measured parity-violating asymmetries in elastic electron-proton scattering over the range of momentum transfers 0.12 ≤ Q2 ≤ 1.0 GeV2. These asymmetries, arising from interference of the electromagnetic and neutral weak interactions, are sensitive to strange quark contributions to the currents of the proton. The measurements were made at JLab using a toroidal spectrom- eter to detect the recoiling protons from a liquid hydrogen target. The results indicate non-zero, Q2 dependent, strange quark contributions and provide new information beyond that obtained in previous experiments.
