Baltmann, Stephen

The BoNuS experiment at Jefferson Lab's Hall B is going to measure the structure of the quasi-free neutron via electron scattering off a deuteron target and detection of the slowly recoiling spectator proton at very backward angles. To detect the low momentum backward recoiling protons, the CLAS detector will be augmented with a novel radial time projection chamber featuring gas electron multipliers. Data taking is anticipated for 2005 or 2006.
