Mention how construction of R1 illustrates the groups level of investment in Hall B's physics research program. The group's involvement will continue by training students in the calibration of the CLAS12 drift chambers. Olga Cortez has already been contributing in this manner.

Major Goals:

Probing Nuclear structure with Parity Violation: Neutron radii and skin measurements

  • The Pb Radius Experiment (PREX)
  • The Ca Radius Experiemnt (CREX)

Preparing for BSM physics searches using Parity Violation in purely leptonic sector

  • The MOLLER experiment

What was Accomplished:

Activities


Objectives


Results


Key Outcomes:

  • PREX-II and CREX passed their Experiment Readiness Review on May 19, 2017 and can now request scheduling; expectation is that the experiments will run consecutively in Fall 2018 or Winter/Spring 2019.
  • The MOLLER experiment achieved DOE's CD-0 status at the end of December 2016. This means the collaboration has achieved mission-need recognition from DOE.

2018 report

Since constructing the R1 drift chambers for the CLAS12 upgrade, the group has been preparing for upcoming experiments by focusing on simulations to optimize run conditions. A program to optimize CLAS12's ability to detect pions is currently underway. Three components of this effort currently at various stages of completion are to incorporated a dual polarized target geometry into the official CLAS12 simulation, quantify the moller electron background for beam pipe shielding, and improve the vertex reconstruction for a dual polarized target. The geometry and materials for polarized target to be used in an upcoming experiment in JLab's Hall B has been completed and is being incorporated in the Hall's monte-carlo distribution. The background from Moller scattering in Hall B has been simulated and is now guiding the design of beam line shielding elements with the results to be reported in a graduate student thesis this year. A second graduate student has begun work on adapting the tracking software to accommodate reconstructing vertices when using the above dual polarized target. These three efforts will be used to optimized data taking in JLab's Hall B during the Fall of 2020.

Impact

This component will be used to describe ways in which the work, findings, and specific products of the project have had an impact during this reporting period. For NSF purposes, include, where appropriate, discussion of data resources and the acquisition of data skills. Include the emergence of new career paths, such as data scientists, or new disciplines.

2017 report

Since constructing the R1 drift chambers for the CLAS12 upgrade, the group has been preparing for upcoming experiments by focusing on simulations to optimize run conditions. A program to optimize CLAS12's ability to detect pions is currently underway. Three elements under investigation seek to quantify the moller electron background for beam pipe shielding, determine the expected vertex resolution for scattering from an extended target, and predict the detectors efficiency for detecting semi-inclusive pion scattering events.

Simulations for upcoming Run Group C experiment in Hall B. Moller background simulation to evaluate beam line shielding design.

Below is the Xbj distribution predicted by clasDIS using an 11 GeV beam and a deuteron target after running two hours at full luminosity. These simulated events will be used to predict the reconstruction efficiency of the CLAS12 detector as an input to optimize the running conditions for the polarized proton and deuteron targets.
