Outline Brief historical overview Generalized Parton Distributions - a unifying framework of hadron structure Experiments to access GPDs 12 GeV Upgrade project 3D Imaging of the Proton Quark Structure Summary

Some well known facts about the proton Charge: Qp = +1 It has a neutral partner, the neutron, Qn = 0 Mass: Mp ~ 940 MeV/c2 Proton + neutron make up 99.9% of the mass of the visible universe Spin: s = ½ћ Magnetic moment mp = 2.79mN Anomalous magnetic moment ma = 1.79mN 1950’s: Does the proton have internal structure? The exploration of the internal structure of the proton began in the 1950’s with Hofstadter’s experiments.

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.

In the past few years, we have made a start in the quest to unravel the Structure of the Proton. What does the future hold?

JLab Upgrade to 12 GeV At 12 GeV, CEBAF will be an ideal for GPD studies. Add new hall CHL-2 Enhance equipment in existing halls

Scope of the 12 GeV Upgrade

A new Hall will be constructed to house the GlueX detector, that will conduct a search for excited mesons with gluonic components, and the existing Halls will be upgraded with new equipment as well. Hall C will have an additional super high momentum spectrometer. Hall A will retain the existing spectrometers and provide space for new specialized equipment to address a variety of physics topics. Hall B will house the CLAS12 detector which is the focus of this of workshop. At 12 GeV JLab will be ideal for precision studies at large Bjorken x.

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.
