JLab Upgrade to 12 GeV JLab Upgrade to 6 GeV Add new hall CHL-2 A major focus of hadron physics with electromagnetic probes is the determination of new multi-dimensional parton distribution functions in a large kinematics range. This requires experiments at high luminosity and at sufficiently high energy. For this the existing accelerator will be equipped with accelerating superconducting RF cavities with much higher gradients. The additional 5 cryo modules will provide the same energy boost as the 20 existing ones. In addition some of the lower gradient cryo modules will be refurbished Enhance equipment in existing halls 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa

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. 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa

3D Nucleon Structure Frontier
by bx 3-D Scotty x 2-D Scotty x by Deeply Virtual Processes. GPDs & TMDs 1-D Scotty x probablity Calcium Water Carbon Much of the science program is about the 3D imaging of the nucleon. The nucleon is here represented by a living being. We can make 2D slices of Scotty and may see something like this. Of course, Scotty would no longer be able to function as a living being. In a 1-dimensional projection Scotty would lose all its resemblance with the original, and we may just be able to characterize the chemical composition (or flavor) as a function of x. However, we would not know where in transverse space the molecules are distributed and how they are held together. Yet , this analogy is not so far from how we have studied the proton’s composition in the past. The PDFs measured in deep inclusive scattering represent a one-dimensional projection of the real proton possibly with a flavor tag on it, i.e. u-quark or d-quark distribution function. To restore the 2-and 3-dimenional representation we need to measure processes that are sensitive to the GPDs and TMDs, i.e. deeply exclusive and semi-inclusive processes.

Access to GPDs - Handbag Mechanism GPDs depend on 3 variables, e.g. E(x, x, t). They probe the quark structure at the amplitude level. x Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) t x+x x-x hard vertices g x – longitudinal quark momentum fraction 2x – longitudinal momentum transfer xB 2-xB x = The basic process in accessing the proton structure through exclusive processes is the “handbag” mechanism. Here shown for the DVCS process. The important aspects is that we have hard scattering vertices here and here and the soft part is described by the GPDs. The upper and lower part factorize which allow us to probe GPDs in hard scattering processes with photons. There are 4 GPDs which depend on 3 kinematics quantities: the quark longitudinal momentum fraction x, the longitudinal momentum transfer to the quark xi and the 4-momentum transfer to the proton. What is the physical content of the GPDs ? –t – Fourier conjugate to transverse impact parameter What is the physical content of GPDs? => talk by M. Vanderhaeghen 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa

Physical content of GPD E & H
Nucleon matrix element of the Energy-Momentum Tensor of QCD contains three scalar form factors (R. Pagels, 1965) and can be written as (X. Ji, 1997): M2(t) : Mass distribution inside the nucleon J (t) : Angular momentum distribution d1(t) : Forces and pressure distribution Directly measured in elastic Graviton scattering. GPDs are related to these form factors through 2nd moments The nucleon matrix element of the energy-momentum tensor is known to contain 3 form factors (R. Pagels, 1965). For a long time they were of little interest as the only known process where they could be directly measured is elastic scattering of gravitons off the nucleon. However, these form factors appear as moments of the unpolarized GPDs as shown here. The quark angular momentum in the nucleon is given by the 2nd moment of the sum of GPD H and E. The mass and pressure distribution of the quarks are given by the 2nd moment of H where the pressure is probed by parameter xi. t=0: Ji’s Angular Momentum Sum Rule To determine J(t) we need to measure the x and t dependence of GPDs. To separate M2(t) and d1(t) we need measurements at small and large ξ(xB). 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa

Using polarized electron beams we can measure the cross section difference for opposite electron helicities. The cross section difference depends on the 3 GPDs H, H-tilde, and E. The kinematical factors suppress the contributions of H-tilde and of E so that the beam spin asymmetry is dominated by GPD H. For longitudinally polarized target the asymmetry is dominated by H-tilde as H and E are kinematically suppressed at not too large xi giving access to H-tilde. With a transversely polarized target one has access to a combination of H and E. With these 3 measurements we are able to disentangle 3 GPDs H, E, H-tilde.

Transverse Momentum Distributions
CLAS12 (talk by M. Anselmino) TMDs are complementary to GPDs in that they allow to construct 3-D images of the nucleon in momentum space TMDs are connected to orbital angular momentum (OAM) in the nucleon wave function – for a TMD to be non-zero OAM must be present. TMDs can be studied in experiments measuring azimuthal asymmetries or moments. Several proposals have been accepted by PAC34 that propose to upgrade CLAS12 with Kaon id => talks by H. Avakian, M. Contalbrigo, P. Rossi. Transverse momentum distributions are complementary to GPDs In that they allow.. .. 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa

M.Anselmino et al Phys.Rev.D74:074015,2006 The double polarization asymmetry is sensitive to difference in the KT distribution of quarks with spin orientation parallel and anti-parallel to proton spin. The Pt dependence of the double polarization asymmetry is sensitive to … Current data not sensitive enough to clearly identify the effect.

Proton Spin Puzzle ~ resolved ?
Proton Spin: ½ = ½ ΔΣq + ΔG +OAM ΔΣq = / /- 0.05 Recent results indicate that ΔG at x<0.1 is much smaller than what is needed to explain the “missing” spin. There may be significant ΔG at x > 0.1 which is accessible at 12 GeV CLAS12 can significantly improve the accuracy of the Q2 dependence of g1(x,Q2) at x>0.05 with precise double polarization data to determine ΔG(x) from QCD evolution equations. 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa

Valence Quark Distribution d/u
CLAS12 Valence Quark Distribution d/u There is large uncertainty in the ratio d/u of down and up quark distributions at large x, due to large effects of nuclear wave function. This can be significantly improved by performing the measurement at kinematics where nuclear effects are under control. en(ps) → epsX Measure spectator proton to tag scattering of “free” neutron with small FSI. => talks by S.

Neutron Magnetic Form Factor
CLAS12 At 12 GeV extend knowledge of magnetic structure of neutron to much shorter distances. Needed for constraints of GPDs at large t. => talk by P. Kroll. Does the neutron magnetic structure differ from the proton? For Q2 < 5 GeV2 GMn deviates by less than 10% from the dipole form which also describes GMp with similar accuracy and up to much higher Q2. CLAS12 can measure GMn simultaneously for Q2 ≤ 14 GeV2. 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa

Color transparency CLAS12 Color Transparency is a spectacular prediction of QCD: under the right conditions, nuclear matter will allow the transmission of hadrons with reduced attenuation Unexpected in a hadronic picture of strongly interacting matter, but straightforward in quark gluon basis. Small effects observed at lower energy. Expect significant effects at higher energy. CLAS12 projected eA→eρ0X 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa

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. 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa

Summary The JLab Upgrade has well defined physics goals of fundamental importance for the future of hadron physics, addressing in new and revolutionary ways the quark and gluon structure of hadrons by accessing GPDs and TMDs mapping the valence quark structure of nucleons with high precision understanding hadronization processes extending nucleon form factors to short distances Design of accelerator and equipment upgrades are underway Construction started October 2008, major procurements underway Accelerator shutdown scheduled for 2012 => end of the 6 GeV program 2/25/09 Volker Burkert, CLAS12 Workshop, Genoa
