6. 6/22/2006Studies of the Deuteron at High Four-Momentum Transfer, Hassan Ibrahim, HAll A Meeting6 R LT and Relativity The longitudinal component of the relativistic electromagnetic nuclear current contains additional spin-orbit term. The longitudinal component of the relativistic electromagnetic nuclear current contains additional spin-orbit term. This additional term can interfere with the spin-flip magnetization term in the transverse current component. This additional term can interfere with the spin-flip magnetization term in the transverse current component. But, non-relativistically, there is no such additional term since L reflects charge only and can not interfere with the spin-flip part of T. But, non-relativistically, there is no such additional term since L reflects charge only and can not interfere with the spin-flip part of T. Therefore, we can test relativistic models by separating R LT. Therefore, we can test relativistic models by separating R LT.

Minimize the W, E m, p mx, p my and p mz offsets ( y j, j=1,…,5) between the data and the simulation (W M p, E m 0, p m 0). Fit for the relative momentum deviations, e = e'/e' and p = p/p, the in-plane angular offsets, e and p and the out-of-plane angular offsets, e and p ( x i, i=1,…,6) to minimize y j.

22. 6/22/2006Studies of the Deuteron at High Four-Momentum Transfer, Hassan Ibrahim, HAll A Meeting22 Theoretical Calculations We have now Lagets PWIA calculations fully integrated with the recent official MCEEP version. We hope that the full Lagets calculations will be available soon to us (This will include all the different mechanisms such as FSI, MEC and IC. We also expect to use Sargsians calculations once they are made available to us.

23. 6/22/2006Studies of the Deuteron at High Four-Momentum Transfer, Hassan Ibrahim, HAll A Meeting23 Summary The experiment ran in 2002 for 2 months and collected about 2 TB of data for more than 120 different kinematics. All the optimizations and calibrations of the two spectrometers have been completed or are finishing up. Extensive software improvements and additions have been made in ESPACE and MCEEP. Many new standalone codes were written to display and optimize the different aspects of the data. Several passes through the data were done to correct for the beam position and to extract the stable current time periods. Lagets PWIA grid interpolation was implemented in MCEEP. The highest Q 2 final results are expected by the end of 2006.
