    (American Physical Society, 2005-08-26) 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.; Korsch, W.; Kox, S.; Kuhn, J.; Lachniet, J.; Lee, L.; Lenoble, J.; Liatard, E.; Liu, J.; Loupias, B.; G0 Collaboration; 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.; G0 Collaboration; 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.; Hannelius, L.; Hasty, R.; Hawthorne Allen, A.; Horn, T.; Johnston, K.; Jones, M.; Kammel, P.; Kazimi, R.; King, P.M.; Kolarkar, A.; Korkmaz, E.
    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 Jefferson Laboratory using a toroidal spectrometer to detect the recoiling protons from a liquid hydrogen target. The results indicate nonzero, Q2 dependent, strange-quark contributions and provide new information beyond that obtained in previous experiments.

    Longitudinal Electroproduction of Charged Pions from 1H, 2H, and 3He
    (American Physical Society, 2001-11-12) 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.; DeSchepper, 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.; Kyle, G.; 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.
    Separated longitudinal and transverse cross sections for charged pion electroproduction from 1H, 2H, and 3He were measured at Q2 = 0.4(GeV/c)2 for two values of the invariant mass, W = 1.15GeV and W = 1.60GeV, in a search for a mass dependence which would signal the effect of nuclear pions. This is the first such study that includes recoil momenta significantly above the Fermi surface. The longitudinal cross section, if dominated by the pion-pole process, should be sensitive to nuclear pion currents. Comparisons of the longitudinal cross section target ratios to a quasifree calculation reveal a significant suppression in 3He at W = 1.60GeV. The W = 1.15GeV results are consistent with simple estimates of the effect of nuclear pion currents, but are also consistent with pure quasifree production.

    (American Physical Society, 2000-05-29) Abbott, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Anklin, H.; Arvieux, J.; Ball, J.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, E.J.; Bimbot, L.; Boeglin, W.; Breuer, H.; Brindza, P.; Carlini, R.; Chant, N.S.; Danagoulian, S.; Dow, K.; Ducret, J.-E.; Dunne, J.; Ewell, L.; Eyraud, L.; Furget, C.; Garcon, M.; Gilman, R.; Glashausser, C.; Gueye, P.; Gustafsson, K.; Hafidi, K.; Honegger, A.; Jourdan, J.; Kox, S.; Kumbartzki, G.; Lu, L.; Mack, D.; Markowitz, P.; McIntyre, J.; Meekins, D.; Merchez, F.; Mitchell, J.; Mohring, R.; Mtingwa, S.; Mrktchyan, H.; Pitz, D.; Qin, L.; Ransome, R.D.; Real, J.-S.; Roos, P.G.; Rutt, P.; Sawafta, R.; Stepanyan, S.; Tieulent, R.; Tomasi-Gustafsson, E.; Turchinetz, W.; Vansyoc, K.; Volmer, J.; Voutier, E.; Vulcan, W.; Williamson, C.; Wood, S.A.; Yan, C.; Zhao, J.; Zhao, W.; Lung, A.; Jefferson Lab t20 Collaboration
    Tensor polarization observables ( t20, t21, and t22) have been measured in elastic electron-deuteron scattering for six values of momentum transfer between 0.66 and 1.7(GeV/c)2. The experiment was performed at the Jefferson Laboratory in Hall C using the electron High Momentum Spectrometer, a specially designed deuteron magnetic channel and the recoil deuteron polarimeter POLDER. The new data determine to much larger Q2 the deuteron charge form factors GC and GQ. They are in good agreement with relativistic calculations and disagree with perturbative QCD predictions.

    Precise Measurement of the Deuteron Elastic Structure Function A(Q2)
    (American Physical Society, 1999-02-15) Abbott, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Anklin, H.; Arvieux, J.; Ball, J.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, E.J.; Bimbot, L.; Boeglin, W.; Breuer, H.; Carlini, R.; Chant, N.S.; Danagoulian, S.; Dow, K.; Ducret, J.-E.; Dunne, J.; Ent, R.; Ewell, L.; Eyraud, L.; Furget, C.; Garcon, M.; Gilman, R.; Glashausser, C.; Gueye, P.; Gustafsson, K.; Hafidi, K.; Honegger, A.; Jourdan, J.; Kox, S.; Kumbartzki, G.; Lu, L.; Lung, A.; Mack, D.; Markowitz, P.; McIntyre, J.; Meekins, D.; Merchez, F.; Mitchell, J.; Mohring, R.; Mtingwa, S.; Mrktchyan, H.; Pitz, D.; Qin, L.; Ransome, R.; Real, J.-S.; Roos, P.G.; Rutt, P.; Sawafta, R.; Stepanyan, S.; Tieulent, R.; Tomasi-Gustafsson, E.; Turchinetz, W.; Vansyoc, K.; Volmer, J.; Voutier, E.; Vulcan, W.; Williamson, C.; Wood, S.A.; Yan, C.; Zhao, J.; Zhao, W.; The Jefferson Lab t20 Collaboration
    The A(Q2) structure function in elastic electron-deuteron scattering was measured at six momentum transfers Q2 between 0.66 and 1.80(GeV/c)2 in Hall C at Jefferson Laboratory. The scattered electrons and recoil deuterons were detected in coincidence, at a fixed deuteron angle of 60.5°. These new precise measurements resolve discrepancies between older sets of data. They put significant constraints on existing models of the deuteron electromagnetic structure, and on the strength of isoscalar meson exchange currents.

    Longitudinal and Transverse Cross Sections in the 1H(e,e′K+)Λ Reaction
    (American Physical Society, 1998-08-31) Niculsescu, G.; Mohring, R.M.; Gueye, P.; Abbott, D.; Ahmidouch, A.; Amatuni, Ts.A.; Ambrozewicz, P.; Angelescu, T.; Armstrong, C.S.; Assamagan, K.; Avery, S.; Bailey, K.; Baker, O.K.; Beard, K.; Beedoe, S.; Beise, E.; Breuer, H.; Carlini, R.; Cha, J.; Chang, C.C.; Chant, N.; Cisbani, E.; Collins, G.; Cummings, W.; Danagoulian, S.; DeLeo, R.; Duncan, F.; Dunne, J.; Dutta, D.; Eden, T.; Ent, R.; Eyraud, L.; Ewell, L.; Finn, M.; Fortune, T.; Frolov, V.; Frullani, S.; Furget, C.; Garibaldi, F.; Gaskell, D.; Geesaman, D.F.; Gustafsson, K.K.; Hansen, J.-O.; Harvey, M.; Hinton, W.; Hungerford, E.; Iodice, M.; Jackson, C.; Keppel, C.; Kim, W.; Kino, K.; Koltenuk, D.; Kox, S.; Kramer, L.; Leone, T.; Lolos, G.; Lung, A.; Mack, D.; Madey, R.; Maeda, M.; Majewski, S.; Markowitz, P.; Martoff, C.J.; Meekins, D.; Mihul, A.; Mitchell, J.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Mtingwa, S.; Niculescu, I.; Perrino, R.; Potterveld, D.; Price, J.W.; Raue, B.A.; Real, J.-S.; Reinhold, J.; Roos, P.; Saito, T.; Savage, G.; Sawafta, R.; Segel, R.; Stepanyan, S.; Stoler, P.; Tadevosian, V.; Tang, L.; Teodorescu, L.; Terasawa, T.; Tsubota, H.; Urciuoli, G.M.; Volmer, J.; Vulcan, W.; Welch, P.; Williams, R.; Wood, S.; Yan, C.; Zeidman, B.
    The 1H(e,e′K+)Λ reaction was studied as a function of the squared four-momentum transfer, Q2, and the virtual photon polarization, ɛ. For each of four Q2 settings, 0.52, 0.75, 1.00, and 2.00 (GeV/c)2, the longitudinal and transverse virtual photon cross sections were extracted in measurements at three virtual photon polarizations. The Q2 dependence of the σL/σT ratio differs significantly from current theoretical predictions. This, combined with the precision of the measurement, implies a need for revision of existing calculations.

    We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry in elastic scattering of transversely polarized 3 GeV electrons from unpolarized protons at Q2=0.15, 0.25  (GeV/c)2. The results are inconsistent with calculations solely using the elastic nucleon intermediate state and generally agree with calculations with significant inelastic hadronic intermediate state contributions. An provides a direct probe of the imaginary component of the 2γ exchange amplitude, the complete description of which is important in the interpretation of data from precision electron-scattering experiments.

    Cross sections are presented for the reaction 2H(e,e′p)n for momentum transfers in the range 1.2≤Q2≤6.8(GeV/c)2 and for missing momenta from 0 to 250 MeV/c. The longitudinal-transverse interference structure function has been separated at Q2 = 1.2(GeV/c)2. The observables are compared to calculations performed in nonrelativistic and relativistic frameworks. The data are best described by a fully relativistic calculation.

    Measurement of the Proton's Neutral Weak Magnetic Form Factor
    (American Physical Society, 1997-05-19) Mueller, B.; Beck, D.H.; Beise, E.J.; Candell, E.; Cardman, L.; Carr, R.; DiBari, R.C.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Duncan, F.; Farkhondeh, M.; Filippone, B.W.; Forest, T.; Gao, H.; Korsch, W.; Kowalski, S.; Lung, A.; McKeown, R.D.; Mohring, R.; Napolitano, J.; Nilsson, D.; Pitt, M.; Simicevic, N.; Terburg, B.; Wells, S.P.; SAMPLE Collaboration
    We report the first measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron scattering from the proton. The asymmetry depends on the neutral weak magnetic form factor of the proton which contains new information on the contribution of strange quark-antiquark pairs to the magnetic moment of the proton. We obtain the value GMZ = 0.34±0.09±0.04±0.05n.m. at Q2 = 0.1 (GeV/c)2.

    The transverse-longitudinal asymmetry ATL′ in 3He⃗(e⃗, e′) quasielastic scattering at momentum transfer Q2=0.14 (GeV/c)2 has been measured to be 1.52 ± 0.55(stat) ± 0.15(syst)%. The plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) prediction for this measurement ranges from 2.1% to 2.9%, where the variation is due to uncertainty in the initial state wave function, nucleon form factors, and off-shell prescription. The data may suggest a suppression with respect to the PWIA, which has also been observed for the unpolarized longitudinal response function.
