29. Exploring proton in-medium modifications through polarization-transfer measurements

Tim Kolar

8/6/22, 4:00 PM

Knowledge of whether the proton’s electromagnetic (EM) structure changes when it is bound inside an atomic nucleus is important for a better understanding of nuclear matter and its behavior. If such change is present it is expected to be relatively small and therefore difficult to experimentally determine[1,2].
A measurement of the polarization transfer in A(⃗e,e′p⃗) reaction is a proven...

27. Pion parton distribution functions within a light-front wave function approach

Simone Venturini (University of Pavia)

8/6/22, 4:20 PM

Pion parton distribution functions have been achieving most interest among hadronic physicists in this years; nevertheless there are still few models that use a light-front wave function (LFWF) approach for the pion.
Our theoretical model is based on the pion-state decomposition in terms of different Fock state components. In particular, we focused on the lowest number of partons constituting...

13. An overview of the MOLLER experiment at Jefferson lab

Devi Adhikari (Virginia Tech)

8/6/22, 5:00 PM

The MOLLER experiment purposes to carry out a precise measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry from electron-electron scattering in Hall A at Jefferson lab. The measured asymmetry will be used to extract the weak charge of the electron with unprecedented precision, which in turn results in an ultra-precise determination of the weak mixing angle. The measurement precision allows us to...
