Nucleon elastic form factors help us understand the nucleon structure by probing their four-current distribution. But very little is known of neutron's magnetic form factor, $G_M^n$, for $Q^2>4$ $(\text{GeV}/\text{c}{)}^2$. To shed some light in this area, an experiment, SBS-$G_M^n$ (E12-09-019), has run in Jefferson Lab's experimental Hall A from October 2021 to February 2022 and recorded...

33. Design, Calibration, and Performance of a Segmented, Sampling Hadron Calorimeter Employed in the Super BigBite Spectrometer

Sebastian Seeds (UConn)

8/6/22, 11:50 AM

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...

32. GRINCH Gas Cherenkov Detector for SuperBigbite Spectrometer, Jefferson Lab

Maria Satnik (William & Mary)

The GRINCH is a new heavy gas chereknov threshold detector developed for the Super Bigbite (SBS) program in Hall A in Jefferson Lab. The purpose of the GRINCH is to distinguish between pions and electrons during electromagnetic form factor scattering experiments in the SBS program. Consisting of 510 1-in photomultipier tubes and filled with $C_4{F}_{8}O$ heavy gas, this novel detector is...
