Talk Nucleon helicity structure Joint Helicity/Future

Speaker

Cameron Cotton (University of Virginia)

Description

Quark helicity distributions play a crucial role in our understanding of the strong force and nucleon structure. An upgrade of Jefferson Lab's electron beam from 11 to 22 GeV would provide a unique opportunity to advance our understanding of quark helicity distributions, allowing us to probe at higher $Q^2$ and $x_{Bj}$ than ever before. In this talk, I will present an exploratory study of the impact such an upgrade would have on our knowledge of the nucleon spin structure and quark helicity distributions.
