Abstract

At the Electron Stretcher Accelerator ELSA of Bonn University the left-right asymmetry A_Φ of the reaction d(e, é p)n has been measured in quasi-free kinematics (E_e = 1.6 GeV, θ_e = 14°). The scattered electrons were detected with a magnetic spectrometer. Due to the high duty cycle of ELSA non-magnetic proton detectors could be used. The experimental data are in good agreement with theoretical calculations, if relativistic corrections are taken into account.

Performance of a compact detector package for the out-of-plane spectrometer system
2002, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
We report on the design and performance of compact detector packages currently installed in the four magnetic out-of-plane spectrometers for electron scattering experiments at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center. The detector packages have been designed to meet the mechanical requirements arising from out-of-plane particle detection. They offer good trajectory and momentum reconstruction, particle identification and time-of-flight measurements for electrons, pions, protons, and deuterons with large momentum bites and in broad kinematical ranges and high luminosities. The detectors have so far been used with great success in out-of-plane measurements of $^{12} C (e →, e ′ p)$ , $^{2} H (e →, e ′ p)$ , virtual Compton scattering below pion threshold and in studies of the N→Δ transition in both exclusive reaction channels $^{1} H (e →, e ′ p) π^{0}$ and $^{1} H (e →, e ′ π^{+})n$ .
MIT-Bates out-of-plane and polarized internal target programs
2000, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
The OOPS and BLAST projects are the main thrusts to the research program at MIT-Bates for the next few years. The OOPS system is a unique facility of multiple magnetic spectrometers specifically designed for accurate extraction of the five response functions accessible through the (e,e′p) reaction with polarized beam. Results from the initial round of experiments are presented as well as a brief out-look into the upcoming measurements. The Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid (BLAST) is a detector designed to study in a comprehensive and precise way the spin dependent electromagnetic response of few-body nuclei. At present BLAST is under construction and a brief status is presented as well as projected results for some of the key experiments.
New observables in <sup>2</sup>H(e,e′p)n
1998, Nuclear Physics A
This presentation includes a review of the available data on response functions in the ²H(e,e′p)n reaction. In a set of new measurements, high quality data on the interference response functions have been obtained, and are described here. A discussion of several future measurements is also presented. High quality data on the response functions is essential for the characterization of the electromagnetic currents in the deuteron.
Relativistic effects in the electrodisintegration of deuterium
1997, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The structure function R_LT and the cross-section asymmetry A_φ with respect to the direction of the momentum transfer in the reaction ²H(e, e′ p) have been measured at a four-momentum transfer squared of 0.2 (GeV/c)², for missing momenta between 160 and 220 MeV/c at an invariant mass of 1050 MeV. For a proper description of these data calculations that include a relativistic form of the nucleon current operator are favoured. The absolute ²H(e, e′ p) cross-section data favour a covariant calculation over non-relativistic calculations with relativistic corrections.
