A High Power Hydrogen Target for Parity Violation Experiments
Parity-violating electron scattering measurements on hydrogen and deuterium,
such as those underway at the Bates and CEBAF laboratories, require
luminosities exceeding cms, resulting in large beam
power deposition into cryogenic liquid. Such targets must be able to absorb 500
watts or more with minimal change in target density. A 40~cm long liquid
hydrogen target, designed to absorb 500~watts of beam power without boiling,
has been developed for the SAMPLE experiment at Bates. In recent tests with
40~A of incident beam, no evidence was seen for density fluctuations in
the target, at a sensitivity level of better than 1\%. A summary of the target
design and operational experience will be presented.Comment: 13 pages, 9 postscript figure

State of the South Slough and Coastal Frontal watersheds
Prepared for Partnership for Coastal WatershedsThis State of the Watersheds assessment is a summary of newly collected and existing data which describe the environmental and socioeconomic conditions in Coos Bay’s South Slough and Coastal Frontal watersheds. This is the first attempt to compile these data into a summary report. The assessment, also accessible online (www.partnershipforcoastalwatersheds.org), is intended to be updated periodically to give our community a dynamic resource with which to track the health of our community and watersheds over time.Keywords: Watershed assessment, Watershed plan, South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, Coos Bay, Environmental action pla
Flux profile scanners for scattered high-energy electrons
The paper describes the design and performance of flux integrating Cherenkov
scanners with air-core reflecting light guides used in a high-energy, high-flux
electron scattering experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The
scanners were highly radiation resistant and provided a good signal to
background ratio leading to very good spatial resolution of the scattered
electron flux profile scans.Comment: 22 pages, 17 figure
Unpolarized structure functions at Jefferson Lab
Over the past decade measurements of unpolarized structure functions at
Jefferson Lab with unprecedented precision have significantly advanced our
knowledge of nucleon structure. These have for the first time allowed
quantitative tests of the phenomenon of quark-hadron duality, and provided a
deeper understanding of the transition from hadron to quark degrees of freedom
in inclusive scattering. Dedicated Rosenbluth-separation experiments have
yielded high-precision transverse and longitudinal structure functions in
regions previously unexplored, and new techniques have enabled the first
glimpses of the structure of the free neutron, without contamination from
nuclear effects.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figures; typo in Eq. (3) corrected, references added; to

Measurement of the Proton's Neutral Weak Magnetic Form Factor
We report the first measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic
electron scattering from the proton. The asymmetry depends on the neutral weak
magnetic form factor of the proton which contains new information on the
contribution of strange quark-antiquark pairs to the magnetic moment of the
proton. We obtain the value n.m. at
(GeV/c).Comment: 4 pages TEX, text available at
