Description

During the first experiment (GMn) using the Super BigBite Spectrometer in experimental Hall A at Jefferson Lab, elastic proton and neutron cross sections were measured using a high timing and position resolution hadron calorimeter as the hadron arm of the spectrometer. The design of the calorimeter emphasizes precision timing and position measurements over energy resolution expecting a clean selection of elastic hadrons from reconstructed scattered electrons in the electron arm BigBite. This talk will review the design of the SBS Hadron Calorimeter (HCal) and present data from GMn, which will include necessary calibrations and preliminary in-beam resolution results.
