Title: Spin Degrees of Freedom in Electron Nucleon Scattering in the Resonance Region

Conference ·
OSTI ID:954097

Some aspects of using polarized electrons and/or polarized targets in electron-nucleon scattering experiments are discussed.Polarization measurements can be used to extend the knowledge of nucleon form-factor measurements to higher Q^2 and are indispensable for model-independent extraction of the helicity amplitudes of exclusive meson production.Measurements of polarization asymmetries may also help in revealing the excitation of weaker resonances.
