25th International Spin Symposium (SPIN 2023)

Tensor Polarized ND3 Target for Measuring Spin-1 Structure Functions

30m

Junior Ballroom A1-A2 (Durham Convention Center)

Talk Spin physics in Nuclear Reactions and Nuclei Joint Helicity/Nuclear

Speaker

Karl Slifer (University of New Hampshire)

Description

Several experiments are planned at Jefferson Lab and other facilities which will utilize a solid tensor polarized target. This new program will help clarify how the properties of the nucleus arise from the underlying partons, and provide novel information about gluon contributions, quark angular momentum, and the polarization of the quark sea that is not accessible in spin-1/2 targets. We will discuss the status of the target and experiments.
