Abstract

The Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid experiment, BLAST, at the MIT–Bates Linear Accelerator Laboratory was designed to study in a systematic manner the spin–dependent electro–magnetic interaction in few–nucleon systems at momentum transfers below 1 GeV/c. Utilizing a polarized electron beam; highly polarized, internal gas targets of H and D; and a symmetric detector configuration: BLAST is able to make simultaneous measurements of several reaction channels for different combinations of beam helicity and target polarization (vector for H, both vector and tensor for D). BLAST will provide new data on the nucleon and deuteron form factors as well as study few body physics and pion production. Preliminary results are presented.

Keywords: Electron scattering; polarization; form factors.

 

Resumen

El experimento Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer toroid (BLAST) en el laboratorio MIT–Bates ha sido diseñado para estudiar en forma sistemática la interacción electromagnética dependiente del spin. El enfoque es en sistemas con pocos nucleones y a transferencias de momentum menores de 1 (GeV/c). BLAST utiliza electrones polarizados, blancos altamente polarizados de gases internos de hidrógeno y deuterio, y una configuración simétrica de detectores. De esta manera BLAST es capable de mediciones simultáneas en varias reacciones y con diferentes combinaciones de polarizaciones entre el haz de electrones y los blancos de hidrógeno y deuterio. BLAST proveerá datos de estructura del nucleón y el deuterón. Se presentan aquí resultados preliminares.

Descriptores: Scattering de electrones; polarización; estructura del nucleón.
