Difference between revisions of "Workshop on Polarized Target Studies with Real Photons in Hall D"

Revision as of 09:52, 21 February 2024

Wednesday 21 February 2024, Hybrid

The workshop will explore opportunities to build on the approved polarized target program in Hall D utilizing the GlueX spectrometer. A tagged photon beam with energy 3 to 12 GeV and circular polarization up to 85% is available. The approved target is 10 cm long and capable of achieving large longitudinal vector polarization for hydrogen (up to 90%), deuterium (up to 75%) and certain other nuclear species. It can also achieve a high tensor polarization for deuterons. Coupled with an 80 kHz data rate in Hall D, a high figure of merit for many processes can be achieved.

The Workshop will be held jointly online and in person at Florida State University in Tallahassee and will consist of a plenary session with significant time dedicated to discussion.
