Polarimetry of the polarized hydrogen deuteride HDice target under an electron beam
type: Dataset
description: The study of the nucleon structure has been a major research focus in fundamental physics in the past decades and still is the main research line of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab). For this purpose and to obtain statistically meaningful results, a highly efficient polarized target is essential. This means high polarization and high relative density of polarized material. This dissertation presents the principles and usage procedures of a Hydrogen Deuteride (HD) target that presents both such characteristics. Although the HD target has been shown to work successfully under a high intensity photon beam, it remained to be seen if the target could stand an electron beam of reasonably high current (nA). In this perspective, the HD target was tested for the first time in its “frozen spin” mode under an electron beam during the g14 experiment in the Jefferson Lab’s Hall B in 2012. Two methods of polarimetry are also discussed in this dissertation : one with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of this HD target during the electron beam tests, and another with the elastic scattering of electrons off a polarized target by using data taken on helium-3 during the E97-110 experiment that occurred in Jefferson Lab’s Hall A in 2003.
