Pseudoscalar Meson Electroproduction Above the Resonance Region
One principal motivation for studying exclusive reactions is that they
provide a new class of observables, called off-diagonal parton distributions,
for the internal structure of the nucleon. The study of exclusive reactions
provides a probe of nucleon structure complementary to purely inclusive
studies. The simplest, and possibly the most promising, type of experiment is
exclusive electroproduction of pseudoscalar mesons at small t, and at large Q2
and W.
We show that using the CLAS spectrometer at JLAB and with beam energies
between 4 and 6 GeV, we can obtain good quality electroproduction data that
will improve our understanding of nucleon structure.Comment: LaTex, 12 pages with 2 Postscript figure
Tracking simulation and wire chamber requirements for the SSC
Limitations placed on wire chambers by radiation damage and rate requirements in the SSC environment are reviewed. Possible conceptual designs for wire chamber tracking systems which meet these requirements are discussed. Computer simulation studies of tracking in such systems are presented. Simulations of events from interesting physics at the SSC, including hits from minimum bias background events, are examined. Results of some preliminary pattern recognition studies are given. 16 refs., 16 figs., 2 tabs

Wire chamber requirements and tracking simulation studies for tracking systems at the superconducting super collider
Limitations placed on wire chambers by radiation damage and rate requirements in the SSC environment are reviewed. Possible conceptual designs for wire chamber tracking systems which meet these requirements are discussed. Computer simulation studies of tracking in such systems are presented. Simulations of events from interesting physics at the SSC, including hits from minimum bias background events, are examined. Results of some preliminary pattern recognition studies are given. Such computer simulation studies are necessary to determine the feasibility of wire chamber tracking systems for complex events in a high-rate environment such as the SSC. 11 refs., 9 figs., 1 tab
