  3. The status Experimental activity: MAMI, Bates (low-Q2), JLab (Hall A, B & C) mapping from Q2=0.06 (GeV/c)2 up to 6 (GeV/c)2 Theoretical activity: dynamical calculations, phenomenology, ChEFT, Lattice (Sato-Lee, DMT, MAID, SAID, Pascalutsa-Vanderhaeghen, Alexandrou et al) Quark model predictions are  30% too low for M1 and an order of magnitude lower for the quadrupole amplitudes This issue of the quark core and pion cloud contributions has been addressed in meson exchange models (Sato & Lee) – quantitatively makes up for the deficiencies of the quark model The dynamical calculations are in good agreement down to Q2=0.20 (GeV/c)2 But:  Calculations not in agreement with the low Q2 data taken at Bates and MAMI near (and lower) the predicted peak of the pion cloud contribution at  0.1 (GeV/c)2.  No data available lower than Q2 = 0.06 (GeV/c)2 There are some discrepancies between the MAMI and the Bates data at Q2 = 0.126 (GeV/c)2 that make the picture unclear at a crucial point.

  7. Why Hall A ? Capability to place the spectrometers in small angles and high resolution spectrometers The lowest Q2 measurements taken at MAMI (Q2=0.06 (GeV/c)2) were constrained by space limitations (lower limits for the 2 MAMI spectrometers are 23o and 15.1o) The 2 HRS spectrometers in Hall A can go down to 12.5o thus providing access to lower Q2 values.

  13. Data analysis • Phase space (W,θpq,Q2) will be matched for Φpq = 0o , 180o measurements • analysis bin size: ΔW = ± 4 MeV , Δθpq = ± 2.5o , ΔQ2 = ± 3*10-3– 4.5*10-3 (GeV/c)2 • theoretical calculations folded over the acceptance for the extraction of point cross sections • cross section uncertainties : statistical < ± 1% , systematic < ± 3% , avg.-to-point < ± 0.4% • σLT uncertainty < ± 8%(depending on kinematics) • resonant amplitudes will be fitted to the cross sections • CMR (statistical+systematic) uncertainty < ± 0.20% to < ± 0.28% (from Q2=0.125 to 0.04 (GeV/c)2) • contributions from background amplitudes from all available models will be introduced to the fits • Model uncertainty introduced to the CMR < ± 0.30% in all cases • σLT will be extracted down to Q2= 0.038 (GeV/c)2 and unmatched cross sections in (W,θpq,Q2) will be extracted down to Q2= 0.036 (GeV/c)2

  14. Phase space : Q2 = 0.125 (GeV/c)2 ΔW cut = ± 5 MeV ΔW cut = ± 5 MeV ΔQ2 = ± 0.0045 (GeV/c)2 ΔW = ± 4 MeV Δθpq = ± 2.5o analysis bin widths
