MEASUREMENT OF THE EMC EFFECT OF THE TRITIUM NUCLEUS AT JEFFERSON LAB

Abstract Details

2020, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Physics.
Experiment E12-10-103 (MARATHON) was conducted in the Hall A Facility of JLab in the winter/spring of 2018 during the initial phase of the 12 GeV energy upgrade of the Lab. One goal of the experiment was the first measurement of the EMC effect of 3 H. Four sealed gas targets were used during the experiment: 1 H, 2 H, 3 H, and 3 He. All measurements were in the deep inelastic scattering kinematical regime with large Q2 and W2, which are the four-momentum transfer squared and invariant mass squared of the final hadronic state in the inelastic scattering interaction, respectively. The range of Q2 and W2 were 3 < Q2 <12 (GeV/c)2 and 3.2 < W2 < 12.3 GeV/c2, respectively. The measurements spanned a wide range of the Bjorken variable x, between 0.19 and 0.83, where x = Q2/2M(E-E') is the momentum fraction carried by the struck quark in the interaction, with M being the nucleon mass. Knowledge of the EMC effect of light nuclei, such as 3H, will provide an opportunity to better understand the origin of the EMC effect.
