Review of solid polarized targets

In the following pages I review polarized solid-state target briefly. What I discovered through my reading and writing about this technology, that is amazing tool to study the nucleon structure. I started with what is polarized solid-state target, went through Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) to understanding how it works, then its setup, in what experiments they used polarized solid-state target and some results of these experiments and finally I wrote a brief definition to many of terms, they are important to know to understand what is polarized solid state target

Elastic Electron Scattering From Mirror Nuclei 3He and 3H.

The primary aim of my work is the extraction of the elastic cross-sections from data collected in Jefferson Lab Hall A experiment E12-11-112, which measured inclusive elastic scattering from the mirror nuclei 3He and 3H at low momentum transfer. I determined the ratio of the 3He and 3H cross-sections since it cancels many of the systematic uncertainties that enter the absolute cross-section extraction, and it reduced fractional uncertainty to 1.85%. By going to low energy and forward angle, the effect of the magnetic form factor Fm(Q2) can be minimized, which allows for an extraction of the charge form factor Fch(Q2) without having to do a Rosenbluth-type experiment. The RMS charge radius of the nucleus is proportional to the slope, dFch/dQ2 as Q2 → 0, so by measuring the electric form factor of a target at low Q2, we can extrapolate and extract the nucleus charge radius. A preliminary sensitivity study shows that the inclusion of this measurement in fits to worlds data reduces the normalization uncertainty of existing data sets by 30-50%

The Jefferson Lab tritium program of nucleon and nuclear structure measurements

A series of experiments were performed in Hall A of Jefferson Lab in 2018 that used a novel tritium and helium-3 target system. These experiments took advantage of the isospin symmetry of these mirror nuclei to make precise measurements of isospin dependence in both nucleon and nuclear structure. We summarize here the design and properties of these cells, the physics measurements that have been published, and results currently under analysis from this program
