Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
A series of experiments will be carried out at Jefferson lab to study electron-induced nuclear reactions. This will be done using electron energies up to 2 GeV and the new, large-acceptance detector CLAS. There are two aims of this set of experiments. Firstly, the properties of the first nucleon resonance, the Delta, will be studied to investigate the influence of the surrounding nuclear medium on the wave function of the DELTA. We will also be able to examine the strength of the poorly known nucleon-Delta force. Secondly, all the separate reaction channels which contribute to the electron scattering cross-section from nuclei will be measured over a large range of energy transfer. This will allow us to disentangle all the different reaction mechanisms and study, for example, processes such as short range correlations by measuring multi-particle knockout reactions.
