Abstract

Much is understood about the interaction of both high energy electrons with nucleons and lower energy electrons with nucleons and nuclei. Although a number of experiments involving high energy inelastic scattering of electrons from quarks bound in nuclei have been performed, many interpretations of the data are still discussed. A project called PEGASYS was conceived at PEP to further investigate this physics. Unfortunately, the termination of PEP operations curtailed this experiment and much of the physics remains unexplored. In this paper we present some details of one proposed part of this project (tagged nuclear structure functions) and some considerations made in designing a detector suitable for observing very low momentum nuclear fragements around a cold-cluster gas target.

The JLab 12 GeV Energy Upgrade of CEBAF for QCD and Hadronic Physics

Conference Cardman, Lawrence; Harwood, Leigh

CEBAF at Jefferson Lab is a 5-pass, recirculating cw electron linac operating at ~6 GeV and devoted to basic research in nuclear physics. The 12 GeV Upgrade is a major project, sponsored by the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics, that will expand its research capabilities substantially by doubling the maximum energy and adding major new experimental apparatus. We anticipate that the project will receive Critical Decision 2 approval this year and begin construction in 2008. The research program motivating the Upgrade includes: the study of hybrid mesons, which involve excited states of the glue, to explore the nature of quarkmore »« less

Hadron production in S+nucleus collisions at 200 GeV/nucleon

Technical Report Margetis, S

Central collisions between nuclei at relativistic energies form a hot and dense hadronic system over a large volume. Phenomenological models, as well as QCD calculations on the lattice, predict a phase transition in nuclear matter leading to deconfinement, a state of matter in which quarks and gluons are free to move inside the entire volume of the deconfined region. This new state was given the name of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). Based on the conjecture that collisions of heavy nuclei at high energies can create the necessary condition of a high energy density thermalized system, a series of experiments weremore »« less

(Studies of target fragmentation in intermediate energy, relativistic and ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions)

Technical Report Loveland, W

The work described herein is part of a project involving the study of low energy (< 10 MeV/A), intermediate energy (10--100 MeV/A) and relativistic (> 250 MeV/A) heavy ion reactions. In the low energy regime, we published a monograph on the properties of the heaviest elements and used that publication as a basis for making a set of best'' semi-empirical predictions of heavy element decay properties. The intermediate energy research effort focussed upon the completion of studies already begun and the initiation of a number of new experiments.
