Description

We are working on the preparation of a detector for a new experiment at Jefferson Lab, in the Hall A. This detector will ensure the reconstruction of scattered photons and electrons in high energy beam electron and target proton collisions. The CEBAF accelerator is providing the electrons, and this detector will be placed within the SBS (super big bite) spectrometer, for a new generation experiment aiming at measuring the elastic Form Factors (FFs) of the nucleon (protons and neutrons). The FFs are parametrizing the "position" of quarks inside of the nucleon. We started working on this project in the spring of 2024 with the preparation and assembly of photomultipliers, and we are now contributing to the installation of the detector at JLab.
