Title: Experimental techniques and performance of $Λ$ -hypernuclear spectroscopy with the $(e, e^{'} K^{+})$ reaction

Abstract

The missing-mass spectroscopy of $$\Lambda$$ hypernuclei via the $$(e,e^{\prime}K^{+})$$ reaction has been developed through experiments at JLab Halls A and C in the last two decades. For the latest experiment, E05-115 in Hall C, we developed a new spectrometer system consisting of the HKS and HES; resulting in the best energy resolution ($$E_{\Lambda} \simeq0.5$$-MeV FWHM) and $$B_{\Lambda}$$ accuracy ($$B_{\Lambda}\leq0.2$$ MeV) in $$\Lambda$$-hypernuclear reaction spectroscopy. This paper describes the characteristics of the $$(e,e^{\prime}K^{+})$$ reaction compared to other reactions and experimental methods. In addition, the experimental apparatus, some of the important analyses such as the semi-automated calibration of absolute energy scale, and the performance achieved in E05-115 are presented.

The GEp-III and GEp-2γ experiments, carried out in Jefferson Lab's Hall C from 2007–2008, consisted of measurements of polarization transfer in elastic electron–proton scattering at momentum transfers of Q2=2.5,5.2,6.8, and 8.54 GeV 2. These measurements were carried out to improve knowledge of the proton electromagnetic form factor ratio R=μpGEp GMp at large values of Q2 and to search for effects beyond the Born approximation in polarization transfer observables at Q2=2.5GeV2. The final results of both experiments were reported in a recent archival publication. A full reanalysis of the data from both experiments was carried out in order to reduce themore »« less

First measurement of the polarization observable E in the $\vec{p} (\vec{γ}, π^{+}) n$ reaction up to 2.25 GeV

Journal Article Strauch, S. ; Briscoe, W. J. ; Döring, M. ; ... - Physics Letters B

First results from the longitudinally polarized frozen-spin target (FROST) program are reported. The double-polarization observable E , for the reaction y^→p^→→π⁺n, has been measured using a circularly polarized tagged-photon beam, with energies from 0.35 to 2.37 GeV. The final-state pions were detected with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. These polarization data agree fairly well with previous partial-wave analyses at low photon energies. Over much of the covered energy range, however, significant deviations are observed, particularly in the high-energy region where high-L multipoles contribute. The data have been included in newmore »« less
