F L, F 1, F 2 and R fundamental Structure Function Measurements on Deuterium. - These structure functions provide us important information about internal structure of nucleon, i. e. distribution of quarks and gluons inside the nucleus. Since these are fundamental measurements, they allow a variety of physics issues to be addressed, such as: – Structure Function Moments Lattice QCD comparisons Singlet and non-singlet distribution functions – Quark-hadron duality studies – Neutron form factors. – Support Broad Range of Deuteron Physics Spin structure functions BONUS (BOund NUcleon Structure) neutron structure functions - Hall B experiment for NEUTRON cross sections via spectator tagging. 3 Physics Physics Motivation

The non-singlet moments can only be determined from differences of proton and neutron moments. The non-singlet moments can only be determined from differences of proton and neutron moments. Assuming a charge-symmetric sea, n-p isolates the non-singlet Assuming a charge-symmetric sea, n-p isolates the non-singlet WhereWhere Need to pin down non-singlet (n-p) to extract singlet. Need to pin down non-singlet (n-p) to extract singlet. M d – 2M p = ∫ x n-2 (F d ∙ f – 2F p )dx yields non-singlet distribution 6 Physics Moments of the Structure Functions Moments Calculated on the lattice at Q 2 = 4 GeV 2 M n (Q 2 ) = ∫dx x n-2 F(x,Q 2 )

Data to Monte Carlo simulation comparisons… Experiment & Data analysis 9

Drift Chamber Positions Offsets Checked optics elements, magnets fields, matrix elements and no difference found from previous data. Significantly different from previous data!!! Could it be because of DC offsets? 10

Drift Chamber Positions Offsets X direction Experiment & Data analysis Without X pos offset Peak gets wider with any x offset Must be Straight. Gets tilted with any x offset No DC offset in X (vertical) direction! For drift chamber position offset study I studied the width of the Elastic peak and Xptar. The narrowest the peak the best the position. XpTar plots should not be correlated with DC positioning. With X pos offset 11

Drift Chamber Positions Offsets Y Direction Experiment & Data analysis Ytar plot for Carbon target should be narrowest with correct positions Peak gets narrower Slope of the valley gives the best Y offset! With Y pos offset 12 Without Y pos offset There is about 0.45 mm relative offset (distance) between the DCs

Offsets for Drift Chamber Positions Experiment & Data analysis Before After After correction y pos gets narrow, which indicates that we are doing the right thing. After putting the relative offset 0.45 mm for Y position we get better comparison! 13

Target Position Study (Again) Experiment & Data analysis After getting correct position information for Drift Chambers, Target position study needed to be redone. C D Al Fe Cu Del X (cm) Del Z (cm) 14

Experiment & Data analysis Two simulation runs compared with and without radiative corrections to get the radiative effect on peak position. Elastic Study (Kinematic Corrections) And correct elastic peak position calculated after subtracting the radiative effect. 15

Experiment & Data analysis There is not enough data to do a precise kinematic offset study! Elastic Study (Kinematic Corrections) Two Photon experiment has enough number of elastic H data. They could provide more precise results. 16 A possible 0.3 mrad Theta offset. On average it gives better results. All this data is consistent with very small (> ) E and E’ offsets

Experiment & Data analysis Monte Carlo ratio method is used to extract data cross sections: We can simulate Monte Carlo data using a cross section model to obtain Y MC (E',q) = L*  mod *(  E  W)*A MC (E',q) Taking ratio to data and assuming that A MC = A, yields  d  /dWdE' =  mod * (Y(E',q)/Y MC (E',q)) (MC ratio method) Cross Sections Extraction Method 17 Peter Bosted’s model used as input model. And this data has helped in the development of this model.
