  1. Why are We Here Today and What are We Trying to Accomplish? • The entire community has worked to refine the proposed physics program and has also developed new physics opportunities that would become feasible, resulting in a much richer program • The Hall Equipment designs have been refined considerably • In anticipation of CD-0, we must write a pCDR that documents this work, and details the science and how we will realize it • Any such effort needs and deserves the kind of serious scientific review that PAC16 provided for the White Paper – hence the charge to PAC23 for the review of the plans for the pCDR • Important details include: • Hall-specific documents prepared for PAC23 Review • Editorial Board established for the pCDR • 1st Major draft goal is March 2003 • This PAC23 12 GeV session will review the expanded science program and begin the process of evaluating the experimental equipment “fit”

  2. The Charge for the PAC23 Review of the pCDR In Progress • Comment on the intellectual framework presented for the 12 GeV pCDR. Is this the best way to present the science case to DOE and to the larger nuclear physics community? Are there flaws or omissions in the framework? • Review the new research programs that are under consideration for being highlighted in the executive summary of the pCDR Do they represent compelling science that must be done to advance our understanding of nuclear physics? At what level should they be included in the executive summary? • Have we omitted any key science initiatives that could be supported by a 12 GeV electron beam? • Is the experimental equipment proposed well matched to the key physics experiments motivating the upgrade? In cases where an experiment or program is proposed for more than one set of equipment, are the differences in capability and physics reach of the equipment essential for getting all of the physics, important for getting as much physics as possible, or simply useful in that, for example, an experiment could be done somewhat faster with one hall equipment compared to another?

  3. The Intellectual Framework of the Science Driving CEBAF @ 12 GeV (As Presented to NSAC) The upgrade opens many new scientific opportunities and provides a broad, qualitative enhancement of the present program Key New Physics: • Understanding Confinement (a program of meson spectroscopy) • (defines Emax and requires the addition of “Hall D”) • Detailed Mapping of the Quark and Gluon Wave Functions of the Nucleons via measurements of: • Deep Exclusive Scattering, and • Deep Inelastic Scattering as x 1 for a large range of Q2 (MAD in Hall A, CLAS upgrade to L=1035, SHMS in Hall C) • Extension of the present program of Spin, Hadron and Nuclear Microscopy to higher Q2 • (Higher energies also increase throughput for many experiments now run with 6 GeV beams)

  4. Understanding Confinement Theoretical studies of QCD suggest that confinement is due to the formation of “Flux tubes” arising from the self-interaction of the glue, leading to a linear potential (and therefore a constant force) From G. Bali linear potential Experimentally, we want to “pluck” the flux tube and see how it responds

  5. CEBAF@ 12 GeV Provides Our First Access to the Generalized Parton Distributions, a Revolutionary New Window on Nucleon Structure Quark distribution q(x) DIS only measures a cut at =0 Antiquark distribution q(x) qq distribution

  6. Neutron Asymmetry A1n at Large xBjorken • Study of spin structure functions so far focused on low-x region • A1n behavior for x1 sensitive probe of valence quark wave function: - pure SU(6) : A1n  0 - broken SU(6): A1n  1 • JLab at 12 GeV with its high luminosity is prime facility for measurements at large xBj
