Two Photons Physics  Following the very first measurements of polarization transfer observables in electron elastic scattering, the validity of the 1  exchange approximation of the electromagnetic interaction has been questioned. P.A.M. Guichon, M. Vanderhaeghen, PRL 91 (2003) /17 Electromagnetic form factors Within the 2  exchange hypothesis, the electromagnetic structure of the nucleon may be parametrized by 3 generalized form factors, corresponding to 8 unknow quantities.

Compton Transmission Polarimeter FADC 250 Hamamatsu R  CsI crystals a (6×6×28 cm 3 ) are coupled to PMTs equiped with custom amplified basis to extend the PMT life-time in the high rate environment of PEPPo.  The ~2 µs long and 2 V optimized signal is fed into the JLab custom FADC250 that sampled the signal at 250 MHz. The flexibility of the FADC250 allows for 3 data taking modes : - Sample (500 samples /detector event); - Semi-integrated (1 integral / detector event); - Integrated (1 integral /helicity gate event).
