Abstract

Over the past few decades, investigations of the nucleon structure mainly focused on the one-dimensional study of parton distributions and structure functions. New theoretical developments, including both transverse momentum distributions (TMDs) and generalized parton distributions (GPDs), provide a new way to understand the 3-dimensional structure of the nucleon. TMDs give access to the nucleon tomography in the momentum space, and also provide an opportunity to evaluate the contribution of quarks’ and gluons’ orbital angular momenta to the nucleon spin. The experimental study of TMDs requires a device with high luminosity, large kinematic coverage and great detection resolutions. With the Jefferson Lab (JLab) 12 GeV electron beam, we have proposed a Solenoidal Large Intensity Device (SoLID) in Hall A which is capable of performing such measurements. Several newly approved experiments will perform measurements of both the single and double spin asymmetries via semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) from polarized ³He ("neutron") and proton targets. The new data will provide important information to extract TMDs with unprecedented precision. Besides, we are also able to use SoLID to explore many more important physics topics. Several experiments for the measurements of PVDIS and J=y production have been approved, and new proposals are under development.more »« less

Our collaboration has submitted the pre-conceptual design report to JLab and successfully passed the Director’s Review in early 2015.

Exploring the 3D nucleon structure with CLAS and CLAS12 at JLAB

Conference Diehl, Stefan

Exploring the 3 dimensional structure of the nucleon can help to understand several fundamental questions of nature, such as the origin of the nucleon spin and the charge and density distributions inside the nucleon. In QCD, the 3-dimensional structure of the nucleon is described by Wigner functions. However, experimentally momentum and coordinate space have to be assessed independently. The momentum distribution can be accessed by transverse momentum dependent distribution functions (TMDs) measured in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) or Drell-Yan processes while the distribution in transverse coordinate and longitudinal momentum space is described by generalized parton distributions (GPDs) which canmore »« less

COMPASS-II (Physics of Particles and Nuclei, v. 44(6))

Journal Article Chiosso, M. - Physics of Particles and Nuclei

On December 1st 2010 the proposal of the COMPASS-II Experiment [1] has been approved by the CERN Research Board. After almost ten years of important results achieved by the COMPASS Collaboration in both nucleon spin physics, with the use of muon beam, and hadron spectroscopy, using hadron beams, this second phase offers now a unique chance to address in the very near future newly opened QCD-related challenges, at very moderate upgrade cost, thanks to the versatility of the COMPASS apparatus [2]. This implies mainly study of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT), by measuring the pion polarizability through Primakoff reaction; generalized partonmore »« less

The TMD Program at JLab

Conference Gao, Haiyan; Liu, Tianbo; Zhao, Zhiwen

As a part of the general nucleon imaging effort, there have been many efforts to access the transversemomentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) by using the semi-inclusive deep inelasticscattering (SIDIS) processes. The recently upgraded Continuous Electron Beam AcceleratorFacility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab (JLab) provides golden opportunities to study them in valencequark region. The TMDs describe the three-dimensional, spin-correlated distributions of quarksand gluons in the nucleon in momentum space. The corresponding SIDIS measurements requirehigh intensity and polarization with large kinematic coverage which will be provided by severaldifferent detectors. We present an overview of the planned JLab TMD program in the 12 GeVera.

Deeply virtual Compton scattering cross sections with CLAS and generalized parton distributions

Conference Jo, Hyon-Suk

Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) are the object of an intense research effort. Among other aspects, they allow us to unravel the correlation between the longitudinal momentum fraction and the transverse spatial distributions of quarks and gluons inside the nucleon. Of particular interest is that GPDs provide access to the orbital angular momentum of the partons in the nucleon. Deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS), the electroproduction of a real photon on a single parton of the nucleon eN --> eNy, is the most straightforward deep exclusive process allowing access to GPDs.

Study of TMDs with SoLID at 12-GeV Jefferson Lab

Conference Allada, Kalyan

Solenoidal Large Intensity Device (SoLID) was proposed at JLab to take the full advantage of the 12-GeV upgrade. SoLID is designed to handle high luminosities with large acceptance, which is ideal for measuring transverse momentum depended parton distribution functions (TMDs). Currently there is a highly-rated approved program focusing on the study of TMDs using semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) with longitudinal/transversely polarized 3He target and a transversely polarized proton target. These experiments will provide a comprehensive set of data on proton and neutron (effective) in a wide range of kinematics, allowing us to perform precise 4-d (x, Q^2, P_T, z)more »« less
