The Central Neutron Detector, a recently constructed scintillator barrel which is used in CLAS12 at Jefferson Lab to detect 0.2–1 GeV neutrons at backwards angles, is here described. The motivations and R&D tests leading to its final design, based on three radial layers of coupled paddles with one-side light readout by photomultipliers plus “U-turn” lightguides on the other side, are outlined. The performance of the detector, evaluated from cosmic-ray tests and simulations, which satisfies the physics requirements, is reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

A new Large-Acceptance Forward Angle Spectrometer [Super Bigbite Spectrometer (SBS)], is under development for the upcoming experiments in Hall A at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Virginia, USA), where a longitudinally polarized (up to 85%) electron beam up to 12 GeV energy is now available. The excellent beam intensity (up to 100μA), combined with innovative polarized targets, will provide luminosity up to 1039/(s · cm²), opening interesting opportunities to investigate unexplored aspects of the inner structure of the nucleons. In one of the most demanding configuration, the new spectrometer will consist of a dipole magnet, one front charged particle tracker, two identical proton polarimeters with related back trackers and a segmented hadron calorimeter. The front tracker, placed just after the dipole magnet, consists of up to six layers of large area GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) chambers (40 cm × 150 cm); each chamber is made by three adjacent GEM modules of 40 cm × 50 cm active rectangular area (18 modules as a total). We have chosen the GEM technology in order to optimize spatial resolution (∼80 mm), high hit rate (∼ 100 MHz/cm²), cost/performance and high radiation hardness. We present the main features of the SBS front tracker and its GEM detectors and, finally, we discuss the ongoing tracker commissioning at JLab and show some representative test results.

ULTRAVIOLET radiation , *ULTRAVIOLET detectors , *TERPHENYL , *PHOTOMULTIPLIERS , *SPECTROMETERS - Abstract
UV-glass photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have poor photon detection efficiency for wavelengths below 300 nm due to the opaqueness of the window material. Costly quartz PMTs could be used to enhance the efficiency below 300 nm. A less expensive solution that dramatically improves this efficiency is the application of a thin film of a p-terphenyl (PT) wavelength shifter on UV-glass PMTs. This improvement was quantified for Photonis XP4500B PMTs for wavelengths between 200 nm and 400 nm. The gain factor ranges up to 5 . 4 ± 0 . 5 at a wavelength of 215 nm, with a material load of 110 ± 10 μ g ∕ cm 2 (894 nm). The wavelength shifter was found to be fully transparent for wavelengths greater than 300 nm. The resulting gain in detection efficiency, when used in a typical C̆erenkov counter, was estimated to be of the order of 40%. Consistent coating quality was assured by a rapid gain testing procedure using narrow-band UV LEDs. Based on these results, 200 Photonis XP4500B PMTs were treated with PT for the upgraded low-threshold C̆erenkov counter (LTCC) to be used in the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer upgraded detector (CLAS12) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.

COSMIC ray muons , *TESTING laboratories , *TELESCOPES , *COSMIC rays , *MUONS , *SPATIAL resolution , *NEUTRINO detectors - Abstract
The Extreme Energy Events (EEE) 'telescope' is made by 3 Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC), each with an active area of 158x82 cm 2 in size. Each detector is part of a large network of about sixty telescopes spread over the Italian territory. Due to the good tracking capabilities (100 ps time resolution and cm 2 spatial resolution) the EEE telescope can be used also as test station for large area detectors. The link between the EEE track and signals from the detector under test can be obtained by implementing a streaming DAQ with a common time reference between the two systems given by the GPS signal. The installation and first results of the cosmic muon test facility with the EEE MRPC telescope based on the low-cost, streaming-compatible 12 channels, 250MHz, 14 bits digitizer (INFN-WaveBoard or WB) developed by the JLAB12 Collaboration, is presented.

12. Inclusive and exclusive electron scattering data analysis from Jefferson Lab experiment E12-14-012

Murphy, Matthew Douglas and Murphy, Matthew Douglas
- Abstract
Since the first observations of neutrino oscillation, neutrino experiments have come a long way toward precise measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters, but some obstacles still remain. The next generation of oscillation experiments, including the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), will be using the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) with natural argon as the neutrino target material. A precise model of the neutrino cross section on argon does not exist, which is a source of significant uncertainty in such experiments. The E12-14-012 experiment at Jefferson Lab seeks to help remedy this via electron scattering measurements on argon and titanium targets. The experiment collected both inclusive (e,e') and exclusive (e,e'p) data at a wide range of kinematics with the intent to measure the electron-nucleus cross section and thus derive a spectral function for argon that can be used with neutrino experiments. The use of titanium in this experiment stems from the equivalent shell structure that its protons share with the neutrons in argon, which will be crucial in oscillation experiments but cannot be measured directly in electron scattering. This thesis collects several papers which present results from the E12-14-012 experiment. These results include the inclusive (e,e') cross sections for carbon, titanium, argon, and aluminum at a beam energy of 2.22 GeV and a scattering angle of 15.54 deg with uncertainty of less than 5%. Also included are the first results of the exclusive (e,e'p) cross section on argon and titanium. more...

The preliminary results are presented for Jefferson Lab experiment E02-104 which was performed in the CLAS detector at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. During the experiment, data on semi-inclusive production of hadrons in deep-inelastic scattering of a lepton off nuclei were acquired. These data provide important information about the space-time development of in-medium hadronizaton as well as give an opportunity to investigate the fragmentation processes in the nuclear medium. Transverse momentum broadening and hadronic multiplicity ratios for positively charged pions were measured as multidimensional functions of kinematic variables from different nuclear targets.

Nucleon spin structure has been an active, exciting and intriguing subject of interest for the last three decades. Recent precision spin-structure data from Jefferson Lab have significantly advanced our knowledge of nucleon structure at low Q2. In particular, it has improved our understanding of spin sum rules and higher-twist effects. First, results of neutron spin sum rules and polarizabilities in the low to intermediate Q2 region are presented. Comparison with theoretical calculations, in particular with Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) calculations, are discussed. Surprising disagreements of ChPT calculations with experimental results on the generalized spin polarizability, δLTn, were found. Results of precision measurements of the g2 structure function to study higher-twist effects are presented. The data indicate a significant higher-twist (twist-3 or higher) effect. The second moment of the spin structure functions and the twist-3 matrix element d2 results were extracted. The high Q2 result was compared with a Lattice QCD calculation. Finally, other neutron spin structure results, such as the resonance data for quark-hadron duality study and a precision measurement of the neutron spin asymmetry in the valence quark (high-x) region are briefly discussed.

In light of the recent developments with the International Linear Collider (ILC), and the recommendation to utilize “Cold” technology for this future particle accelerator, this paper will present the lessons learned from the recently concluded Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cryomodule production run at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab). Over the past twenty years Jefferson Lab has worked with industry to successfully design, manufacture, test and commission more SRF cryomodules than any other entity in the United States. The knowledge gained from the design and fabrication of the SNS prototype, eleven — 0.61 (medium) beta and the twelve — 0.81 (high) beta cryomodules, will prove to be an effective asset to the ILC project. After delivery of the final production cryomodule in March 2005, design and fabrication data will be collected, evaluated and presented to make this information beneficial for future particle accelerator projects. Recommendations with respect to these findings will also be presented as an integral part of this paper. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

Positron beams, both polarized and unpolarized, are identified as essential ingredients for the experimental programs at the next generation of lepton accelerators. In the context of the hadronic physics program at Jefferson Lab (JLab), positron beams are complementary, even essential, tools for a precise understanding of the electromagnetic structure of nucleons and nuclei, in both the elastic and deep-inelastic regimes. For instance, elastic scattering of polarized and unpolarized electrons and positrons from the nucleon enables a model independent determination of its electromagnetic form factors. Also, the deeply-virtual scattering of polarized and unpolarized electrons and positrons allows unambiguous separation of the different contributions to the cross section of the lepto-production of photons and of lepton-pairs, enabling an accurate determination of the nucleons and nuclei generalized parton distributions, and providing an access to the gravitational form factors. Furthermore, positron beams offer the possibility of alternative tests of the Standard Model of particle physics through the search of a dark photon, the precise measurement of electroweak couplings, and the investigation of charged lepton flavor violation. This document discusses the perspectives of an experimental program with high duty-cycle positron beams at JLab., Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures This version superseeds the previous version which scientific content was decomposed into several more elaborated articles. All of these articles will be collected in the EPJ A Topical Issue about "Positron beam and physics at Jefferson Lab (e+@Jlab)" more...

Abstract: The Central Time-of-Flight detector for the Jefferson Laboratory 12-GeV upgrade is being designed with linear-focused photomultiplier tubes that require a robust magnetic shield against the CLAS12 main 5-T solenoid fringe fields of 100mT (1kG). Theoretical consideration of a ferromagnetic cylinder in an axial field has demonstrated that its shielding capability decreases with increasing length. This observation has been confirmed with finite element analysis using POISSON model software. Several shields composed of coaxial ferromagnetic cylinders have been studied. All difficulties caused by saturation effects were overcome with a novel dynamical shield, which utilizes a demagnetizing solenoid between the shielding cylinders. Basic dynamical shields for ordinary linear-focused 2-in. photomultiplier tubes were designed and tested both with models and experimental prototypes at different external field and demagnetizing current values. Our shield design reduces the 1kG external axial field by a factor of 5000. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] more...

Abstract: We present first discharge rate measurements for Micromegas detectors in the presence of a high longitudinal magnetic field in the GeV kinematical region. Measurements were performed by using two Micromegas detectors and a photon beam impinging a CH2 target in the Hall B of the Jefferson Laboratory. One detector was equipped with an additional GEM foil, and a reduction of the discharge probability by two orders of magnitude compared to the stand-alone Micromegas was observed. The detectors were placed in the FROST solenoid providing a longitudinal magnetic field up to 5T. It allowed for precise measurements of the discharge probability dependence with a diffusion-reducing magnetic field. Between 0 and 5T, the discharge probability increased by a factor of 10 for polar angles between 19° and 34°. A GEANT4-based simulation developed for sparking rate calculation was calibrated against these data in order to predict the sparking rate in a high longitudinal magnetic field environment. This simulation is then used to investigate the possible use of Micromegas in the Forward Vertex Tracker (FVT) of the future CLAS12 spectrometer. In the case of the FVT a sparking rate of 1Hz per detector was obtained at the anticipated CLAS12 luminosity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] more...

Meson electro-production is used in Hall C at Jefferson Lab to probe nucleon, baryon and nuclear structure. The experimental program in Hall C includes studies of semi-inclusive pion production, p, d(e, e′π±)X, where low energy factorization has been observed, suggesting that these reactions can be used to probe nucleon structure, including transverse momentum distributions of quarks, at energies available at JLab after the upcoming 12 GeV upgrade.

Hypernuclear spectroscopy with electron beam at JLab Hall C has been studied since 2000. The first experiment, JLab E89-009, demonstrated the possibility of the (e, e′ K+) reaction for hypernuclear spectroscopy by achieving an energy resolution of better than 1 MeV (FWHM). The second experiment, JLab E01-011 employed a newly constructed high resolution kaon spectrometer and introduced a vertically tilted electron arm setup to avoid electrons from bremsstrahlung and Moeller scattering. The setup allowed us to have 10 times yield rate and 4 times better signal to accidental ratio with expected energy resolution of 400 keV (FWHM). The third experiment, JLab E05-115 will be performed in 2009 with employing newly constructed high resolution electron spectrometer and a new charge-separation magnet. With the fully customized third generation experimental setup, we can study a variety of targets up to medium-heavy ones such as 52Cr. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

Abstract: A specialized system of target and detector was developed at Jefferson Lab to provide new access to information about neutron structure from electron–neutron interactions. It allows identification and measurement of spectator protons produced in scattering events. The detector is a radial time-projection chamber optimized for the acceptance of low-momentum protons. Gas gain is provided by three cascaded curved Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs), the first application of GEMs in any configuration other than flat. This article provides details about the development and construction of the detector, its performance, and the analysis of the data from the successful running of its first physics experiment.

Abstract: Improvements in the time resolution of the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) below will be required for experiments using the planned upgraded accelerator facility at Jefferson Lab. The improved time resolution will allow particle identification using time-of-flight techniques to be used effectively up to the proposed operating energy of . The challenge of achieving this time resolution over a relatively large area is compounded because the photomultipliers (PM) in the CLAS “time-zero” scintillating counters must operate in very high magnetic fields. Therefore, we have studied the resolution of “time-zero” prototypes with microchannel plate PMs 85001-501 from Burle. For reference and comparison, measurements were also made using the standard PMs R2083 from Hamamatsu using two timing methods. The cosmic ray method, which utilizes three identical scintillating counters (Bicron BC-408, ) with PMs at the ends, yields . The location method of particles from a radiative source with known coordinates has been used to compare timing resolutions of R2083 and 85001-501. This method yields and it also provides an estimate of the number of primary photoelectrons. For the microchannel plate PM from Burle the method yields due to lower number of primary photoelectrons.

MAGNETIC spectrometer , *ELECTROMAGNETISM - Abstract
The CEBAF large acceptance spectrometer (CLAS) is used to study photo- and electro-induced nuclear and hadronic reactions by providing efficient detection of neutral and charged particles over a good fraction of the full solid angle. A collaboration of about 30 institutions has designed, assembled, and commissioned CLAS in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The CLAS detector is based on a novel six-coil toroidal magnet which provides a largely azimuthal field distribution. Trajectory reconstruction using drift chambers results in a momentum resolution of 0.5% at forward angles. Cherenkov counters, time-of-flight scintillators, and electromagnetic calorimeters provide good particle identification. Fast triggering and high data-acquisition rates allow operation at a luminosity of
1034 nucleon cm−2 s−1 . These capabilities are being used in a broad experimental program to study the structure and interactions of mesons, nucleons, and nuclei using polarized and unpolarized electron and photon beams and targets. This paper is a comprehensive and general description of the design, construction and performance of CLAS. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] more...- Published

Abstract: The CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab is a unique instrument, which has provided the lionʼs share of the worldʼs data on meson photo- and electroproduction in the resonance excitation region. The electroexcitation amplitudes for the low-lying resonances , , , and were determined over a wide range of in a comprehensive analysis of exclusive single-meson () reactions in the electroproduction off protons. Further, CLAS was able to precisely measure electroproduction differential cross sections provided by the nearly full kinematic coverage of the detector. The electrocouplings of the and excited states are determined from the exclusive- reaction. Consistent results on the electrocouplings from two-independent analyses (single- and double-pion electroproduction) have provided compelling evidence for the reliable extraction of the electrocouplings. Preliminary results on the electrocouplings of the , , , and states have recently become available. Theoretical analyses of these results have revealed that there are two major contributions to the resonance structure: a) an internal quark core and b) an external meson-baryon cloud. These CLAS results have had considerable impact on QCD-based studies on structure and in the search for manifestations of the dynamical masses of the dressed quarks. Future CLAS12 structure studies at high photon virtualities will considerably extend our capabilities in exploring the nature of confinement in baryons. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] more...

The heavy photon search (HPS) experiment in Jefferson Lab (USA) is looking for a new vector gauge boson, called "heavy photon" or "dark photon", in a mass range of 20 MeV to 1000 MeV. Such particle can couple to the standard model photon through kinetic mixing and therefore can be radiated in electron scatterings. Using a high intensity, one to six GeV electron beam sent onto a tungsten target, HPS will look for a narrow resonance above the QED background that would be a signature of a dark photon. HPS will also exploit the fact that for small couplings, this dark photon would also travel a detectable distance before decaying, providing a second signature in the form of a vertex away from the target. In this thesis, I will present the motivations to look for such a dark photon in this particular domain of phase space, then present the HPS spectrometer, with a particular focus on the electromagnetic calorimeter which was a focus of my work. Then, I will present my work using a Monte-Carlo integration to calculate the cross section of the expected background QED processes for the HPS experiment.

The missing mass spectroscopy of the HeΛ7 hypernucleus was performed using the Li7(e, e ′K+)HeΛ7 reaction at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Hall C. The Λ- binding energy of the ground-state (1/2+) was determined with a smaller error than that of the previous measurement, being BΛ=5.55±0.10stat.±0.11sys.MeV. The experiment also provided new insight into charge symmetry breaking in p-shell hypernuclear systems. Finally, a peak at BΛ=3.65±0.20stat. ±0.11sys.MeV was observed and assigned as a mixture of 3/2+ and 5/2+ states, confirming the "gluelike" behavior of Λ, which makes an unstable state in He6 stable against neutron emission. more...

L'interaction forte, qui permet de lier entre eux les quarks afin de former les nucléons, est assez bien décrite par la chromodynamique quantique (QCD) à très haute énergie lorsque les quarks sont quasiment libres. Mais cette interaction, qui permet aussi de lier les nucléons entre eux pour former les noyaux, est incalculable à basse ou moyenne énergie lorsque les quarks sont confinés. La physique des énergies intermédiaires essaye de comprendre comment les caractéristiques des nucléons ou mésons, ainsi que leur interaction effective, peuvent s'expliquer à partir des quarks et interactions de QCD. C'est dans ce cadre que je travaille depuis mon entrée au CNRS il y a maintenant 15 ans. Ma première activité a été la construction et l'utilisation d'un polarimètre à deuton qui a été utilisé au Laboratoire National SATURNE pour diverses expériences avec des hadrons de basses énergies, et plus récemment au Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory aux États-Unis pour l'expérience $t_{20}$. Puis je me suis engagé ces 10 dernières années dans la mesure du quark étrange dans les propriétés électromagnétiques du nucléon. Le Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory (TJNAF aussi appelé JLab pour Jefferson Laboratory) héberge l'accélérateur d'électrons de dernière génération CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Facility) qui est capable de produire des faisceaux de haute énergie (jusqu'à 6 GeV), très intenses et avec une très grande polarisation. C'est grâce à des accélérateurs comme celui-ci qu'a été possible le développement des expériences de mesure de violation de parité en diffusion d'électron. En 1998, la collaboration $G^{0}$ a commencé la construction d'un détecteur dédié à ce genre de mesures, avec comme objectif de séparer les contributions du quark étrange à la structure électrique et magnétique des nucléons. Deux laboratoires en France étaient engagés dans cette collaboration et avaient en charge la construction de la moitié du détecteur et de l'électronique associée pour la première phase de cette expérience qui s'est déroulée entre 2002 et 2005. Parallèlement, le LPSC Grenoble a développé de nouveaux détecteurs ainsi que leur électronique pour la deuxième phase de ce programme qui s'est déroulée entre 2001 et 2009. Dans le premier chapitre, j'expose le formalisme qui permet d'accéder à la contribution des quarks étranges puis, après une présentation des techniques expérimentales de violation de parité pour mesurer cette contribution, je décris les différentes expériences en diffusion d'électron. Dans le chapitre expérimental, je me concentre sur l'expérience $G^{0}$ qui a été mon activité de recherche dominante des 11 dernières années. Le chapitre 4 est consacré au bilan de 15 ans de programme expérimental dans ce domaine et présente ce que l'on sait aujourd'hui à partir de toutes ces mesures. more...

Photoproduction of the cascade resonances has been investigated in the reactions $\gamma p \to K^+ K^+ (X)$ and $\gamma p \to K^+ K^+ \pi^- (X)$. The mass split of the $\Xi$ doublet is measured to be $5.4\pm 1.8$ MeV/c$^2$, consistent with existing measurements. The differential (total) cross sections for the $\Xi^{-}$ have been determined for photon beam energies from 2.75 to 3.85 (4.75) GeV, and are consistent with a possible production mechanism of $Y^*\to K^+\Xi^-$ through a $t$-channel process. The reaction $\gamma p \to K^+ K^+ \pi^-[\Xi^0]$ has also been investigated in search of excited cascade resonances. No significant signal of excited cascade states other than the $\Xi^-(1530)$ is observed. The cross section results of the $\Xi^-(1530)$ have also been obtained for photon beam energies from 3.35 to 4.75 GeV., Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures more...

- Abstract
Hadron propagation in the nuclear medium is essential for building an accurate model of the nuclear many-body system. Quasi-free electron scattering from nuclei is one of the tools used in the study of hadron propagation effects in the nuclear medium. Electroproduction and propagation of kaons from nuclei provides an additional (strangeness) degree of freedom, inaccessible with other hadrons. An experiment to measure the transparency of pions was completed in Dec 2004 at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Hall C. Using same data set, we report the first measurement of the nuclear transparency of kaons for ¹²C, ⁶³Cu and ¹⁹⁷Au nuclei at Q²= 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 (GeV/c)². We have also extracted the average effective kaon-nucleus cross section from the nuclear transparency. The Q² and A dependence of the transparency and average effective cross section are compared to results from kaon-nucleus scattering data and found consistent within experimental uncertainties. more...

This paper briefly reviews the present status of strange nuclear physics. Recently, significant progress has been made. One example to be discussed is a new, electroproduction experiment which offers the possibility of obtaining hypernuclear spectra with at least a factor of 3 better resolution than previously. However, many different experiments impact a spectrum of problems from weak interactions to astrophysics. Although in this short paper it is not possible to cover many topics in depth, sufficient information is provided so that the interested reader can obtain all of the most relevant material., Kratko se raspravlja o stranoj nuklearnoj fizici. Nedavno je načinjen važan napredak. Primjer koji se raspravlja je novo mjerenje elektrotvorbe koje pruža mogućnost za dobivanje Λ hiperjezgri s razlučivanjem boljim barem tri puta od dosadašnjih. Međutim, mnoga se različita mjerenja sučeljavaju s nizom teškoća od slabih međudjelovanja do astrofizike. Ovdje se ne raspravljaju podrobnije mnoge teme, ali se izlažu podaci kojima se može dobiti najveći dio povezane građe. more...

This paper presents a large solid angle measurement of the positive pion absorption cross-section on 4He and its decomposition into partial channels. A large fraction of the absorption cross-section at incident pion kinetic energies of Tπ+ =70, 118, 162, 239, and 330 MeV is due to multinucleon channels., Daju se ishodi mjerenja pod velikim prostornim kutom udarnog presjeka za apsorpciju pozitivnih piona u He4 i razdjela na pojedine kanale.

This thesis, divided into two parts, presents the calculation of radiative corrections to virtual Compton scattering (VSC) and describes the magnetic method (ARC project) adopted in the Hall A of Jefferson Lab. to measure the electron beam energy within an accuracy of 10-4.Virtual Compton scattering experiments allow us to access to new proton observables: the generalized polarizabilities. As the extraction of those polarizabilities is made by comparing experimental and theoretical cross sections, systematical errors and radiative effects related to the experiments must be very accurately controlled. Therefore, a complete calculation of internal radiative corrections has been done in the frame work of quantum electrodynamics. This original calculation takes into account all graphs which contribution to the cross section is in alpha^4 except those related to proton radiation and to the exchange of two photons between leptonic and hadronic arms. The dimensional regularization method has been used for ultraviolet and infrared divergences treatment. After an addition-subtraction procedure, the infrared compensation is verified. Analytical calculation has been favored for the more internal integrals and then a specific numerical treatment has been employed for all other integrals. The results presented correspond to the different kinematics of VCS experiment which was held at TJNAF.The method of absolute energy measurement we developed is based on the magnetic deviation composed of eight identical dipoles and leading the beam to the Hall A. The energy is determined from the measurement of the bending angle of the beam and from the measurement of the magnetic field integral along the deviation. The measurement of the bending angle is decomposed in a punctual measurement of a reference angle (by autocollimation) and in an on-line measurement of the deviations of the beam from that reference angle (four wire scanners are used). The absolute field integral along the deviation results from the punctual measurement of the relative field integral of the eight dipoles to a reference magnet and from the on-line measurement of that reference magnet.; Cette thèse, articulée en deux parties, présente le calcul des corrections radiatives à la diffusion Compton virtuelle (VCS) et décrit la méthode magnétique (projet ARC) adoptée dans le Hall A à Jefferson Lab. pour mesurer l'énergie absolue du faisceau d'électrons avec une précision de 10-4.Les expériences de diffusion Compton virtuelle nous permettent d'accéder à de nouvelles observables du proton : les polarisabilités généralisées. L'extraction de ces polarisabilités s'effectuant par comparaison des sections efficaces expérimentale et théorique, il est indispensable de contrôler avec une grande précision les erreurs systématiques et les effets radiatifs liés à l'expérience. Un calcul complet des corrections radiatives internes a donc été mené dans le cadre de l'électrodynamique quantique. Ce calcul inédit tient compte de tous les graphes contribuant à l'ordre alpha^4 au niveau de la section efficace à l'exception de ceux mettant en jeu l'échange de deux photons entre les bras leptonique et hadronique ainsi que ceux relatifs au rayonnement du proton. La méthode de régularisation dimensionnelle a été employée pour le traitement des divergences ultraviolettes et infrarouges. Après utilisation d'une procédure d'addition-soustraction, la compensation infrarouge est vérifiée. Nous avons privilégié le calcul analytique pour les intégrales les plus internes et avons eu ensuite recours à un traitement numérique spécifique. Les résultats présentés correspondent aux différentes cinématiques de l'expérience VCS qui s'est déroulée à TJNAF en 1998. La méthode de mesure absolue d'énergie que nous avons développée s'appuie sur la déviation magnétique, constituée de huit dipôles identiques, conduisant le faisceau de l'accélérateur au hall A expérimental. L'énergie est déterminée à partir de la mesure absolue de l'angle de déviation du faisceau dans le plan horizontal et de la mesure absolue de l'intégrale de champ magnétique le long de la déviation magnétique. La mesure de l'angle de déviation se décompose en une mesure ponctuelle d'un angle de référence (par une méthode optique d'autocollimation) et en une mesure « en ligne » des déviations angulaires du faisceau par rapport à cet angle de référence (utilisation de quatre profileurs à fil : une paire en amont et une paire en aval de l'arc). L'intégrale de champ absolue le long de la déviation résulte, elle, de la mesure ponctuelle de la somme des intégrales de champ relatives des huit dipôles de l'arc par rapport à un aimant de référence et de la mesure « en ligne » de l'intégrale de champ de cet aimant de référence alimenté en série avec les huit autres de l'arc. more...

Hypernuclear spectroscopy with electron beam at JLab Hall C has been studied since 2000. The first experiment, JLab E89-009, demonstrated the possibility of the (e, e′ K+) reaction for hypernuclear spectroscopy by achieving an energy resolution of better than 1 MeV (FWHM). The second experiment, JLab E01-011 employed a newly constructed high resolution kaon spectrometer and introduced a vertically tilted electron arm setup to avoid electrons from bremsstrahlung and Moeller scattering. The setup allowed us to have 10 times yield rate and 4 times better signal to accidental ratio with expected energy resolution of 400 keV (FWHM). The third experiment, JLab E05-115 will be performed in 2009 with employing newly constructed high resolution electron spectrometer and a new charge-separation magnet. With the fully customized third generation experimental setup, we can study a variety of targets up to medium-heavy ones such as 52 Cr . more...
