  1. Spin Physics with CLAS12 Yelena Prok CNU/JLab April 12 2011 XIX International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering

  2. The Spin Puzzle: Key Question in Standard Model QCD g  spin 1/2 spin 1 QED QCD 99.9% of mass of the visible universe composed of quarks and gluons - the building blocks of the nucleon How do partonic degrees of freedom - mass, charge, color, SPIN - manifest as the nucleon degrees of freedom? No access to free partons due to confinement! The proton is a stable and abundant source of partons

  3. k’ k Elastic q p’ xP= p P Inclusive DIS of lepton off nucleon k’ k Virtual photon probes the structure q p’ Important variables: xP=p P W

  4. The nucleon parton model and TMDs In the collinear approximation: DIS distribution functions Parton transverse momentum more complex dist. functions Transverse Momentum Distributions (TMDs) of partons describe the distribution of quarks and gluons in a nucleon with respect to x and the intrinsic transverse momentum pT carried by the quarks

  5. Target polarization • orbital motion of quarks • parton distributions • factorization studies Semi-inclusive DIS: U unpolarized L long.polarized T trans.polarized z Beam polarization azimuthal asymmetries due to correlations of spin and transverse momentum of quarks

  6. CLAS12 LTCC DC R1, R2, R3 CHL-2 PCAL Beam Current: 90 µA Max Pass energy: 2.2 GeV Max Enery Hall A,B,C: 11 GeV Solenoid 5T Primary goal of experiments using CLAS12: study of the internal nucleon dynamics by accessing GPDs & TMDs  detector tuned for studies of exclusive and semi-inclusive reactions in a wide kinematic range. Large acceptance detector and high luminosity capabilities EC HTCC FTOF L = 1035 cm-2s-1 May 2012 6 GeV Accelerator Shutdown starts May 2013 Accelerator Commissioning starts 2013-2015 Pre-Ops (beam commissioning)

  7. The Polarized Target • NH3/ND3 targets (also C, empty)3.3 cm length, 16 nA beam rastered over 3 cm diameter • Pt=80(40)% p(d) via DNP • Horizontal 1 K cryostat, 5 T field from CLAS12 CT solenoid, 140 GHz µwave

  8. A RICH detector for CLAS12 • A RICH detector would strogly enhance the CLAS12 capabilities in particle identification and would open possibilities for new physics • A proximity focusing RICH detector could replace the LTCC • Several options are under study: • geometry optimization • radiator • photocatode Photocathode drift electrode charged particle radiator Proximity gap

  9. DIS coverage CLAS12: Kinematic coverage • Large kinematic ranges accessible with CLAS12 are important for separation of • Valence region • Higher Twist contributions (Q2) • Perturbative regime (PT ≥ 1) epX

  10. Large-x behavior of the A1 asymmetry Large x region dominated by valence quarks can test quark models

  13. Anticipated Effect of CLAS12 data on NLO fits of PDFs

  14. Sum Rules • Expected error bars for CLAS12 Γ1p • Coverage predicted for CLAS12 Γ1p

  15. A1 – PT dependence @ 12 GeV A1 A1 proton Curves: M. Anselmino et al PRD74:074015, 2006 deuteron A1 PT-dependence provides access to helicity dependence of kT-distributions of quarks Deuteron and hydrogen data required for PT-dependent flavor decomposition.

  16. Conclusions • Study of the spin-structure of the nucleon is one of the main driving forces behind the upgrade of Jefferson Lab • An extensive and rich experimental program using CLAS12 and polarized targets will provide new insights into all components of the nucleon’s spin • The anticipated data will allow for the separation of leading-twist TMDs in the valence region, providing important information on spin-orbit correlations and the role of angular momentum

  18. Status of g1(x,Q2) • Data mostly for DIS and low x • Remains to be done: • G (RHIC,COMPASS) • L (DVCS: COMPASS, HERMES,Jlab) • Transversity(HERMES, Jlab, RHIC) • Large x precision measurements (Jlab) • Measurement in non-perturbative region (Jlab)
