3. Ibrahim H. Albayrak, January 2011 HallC Collaboration Meeting 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 Deuterium/neutron – 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.

11. Ibrahim H.

Significantly different from previous data!!! Could it be because of DC offsets?

Albayrak, January 2011 HallC Collaboration Meeting 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! 12

Even after putting the DC offset, there is still a shape difference at low E’ region! 13 Before After
