Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering & GPDs Unprecedented set of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering data accumulated in Hall A and with CLAS Hall A Phys.Rev.Lett.97:262002,2006 CLAS t hard vertices g A = DsLU 2s s+ - s- s+ + s- = At low and medium energies DVCS is the cleanest probe of GPDs. A hard virtual photon strikes a quark in the proton, which emits a hard real photon. The prpton remains intact and gets a transverse momentum kick. DVCS is sensitive to all 4 GPDs. Hall A cross section measurements showed that DVCS is consistent with dominance of the handbag mechanism. The CLAS data cover much larger kinematics in x_B, Q2, and t. but are currently limited to polarized beam asymmetries which also depend on the real parts of the Compton amplitude in a convolution integral that are more difficult to model. GPD based description show qualitative agreement with the CLAS asymmetry measurements. Nevertheless, these sets of data have been subjected to a model-independent extraction of the GPD related Compton form factors.

CLAS12 – Solenoid and Torus Magnets The Torus and Solenoid magnets provide bending power for tracking with sufficient momentum resolution to allow exclusive processes to be identified. At forward angles the Torus field provides large integral Bdl while the solenoid provides tracking at large angles over a limited radial distance. The B-field transverse to the particle trajectory is approximately matched to the average particle momentum.

2007 NSAC Long Range Plan (4 recommendations) We recommend the completion of the 12 GeV Upgrade at Jefferson Lab. - It will enable three-dimensional imaging of the nucleon, revealing hidden aspects of its internal dynamics. It will complete our understanding of the transition between the hadronic and quark/gluon descriptions of nuclei. It will test definitively the existence of exotic hadrons, long-predicted by QCD as arising from quark confinement. It will provide low-energy probes of physics beyond the Standard Model complementing anticipated measurements at the highest accessible energy scales. The importance of GPDs for the future of hadronic and nuclear physics was recognized last week by the NSAC Long Range Plan meeting in Galveston. The board gave the Jlab upgrade the highest recommendation and lists the 3-D imaging of the nucleon as the #1 program for the upgrade.
