Name of the project (years) |
“Study of the structure of hadrons and interactions of its fundamental constituents with high energy e- and γ beams” (2020-2025) |
Short description |
This project conducts in collaboration with JLab Halls A, B, C and D. AANL group will take part in the series of upcoming experiments using up to 12 GeV energy, high quality electron and photon beams (including polarized beams) from CEBAF accelerator, and experimental apparatuses in halls A, B, C and D. Members of AANL group are part of collaboration or/and co-spokespersons of a series of JLab approved proposals. Activities of the AANL group related to physics program: - Search for a New Vector Boson A' Decaying to e+e- (Dark Mater) in Hall A; - Development Detectors for Supper BigBite Spectrometer (SBS) in Hall A; - Study of J/ψ Photoproduction off Deuteron in Hall B; - Quasi-real Photo-production on Deuterium with CLAS12 in Hall B; - Heavy Photon Search (HPS) experiment in Hall B; - Design & construction of Calorimeter for the Neutral Particle Spectrometer in Hall C; - Transverse Momentum Dependence of Semi-inclusive Pion Production in Hall C; - The Timelike Compton Scattering project in Hall C; - Study the spectrum of exotic mesons and decay of hadrons with GlueX in Hall D. Intended activities of the AANL group members during the implementation of the project: - Contribute in preparation and development of physics program for 12 GeV beam energy and in upgrade of particle detection and identification systems; - design and construct detectors; - develop physics projects and software for calibration and analysis; - participate in commissioning of experimental apparatus, experimental data taking and analysis, - take part in the series of upcoming experiments using up to 12 GeV energy, high quality electron and photon beams (including polarized beams) from CEBAF accelerator, and experimental apparatuses in halls A, B, C and D. The AANL-Jlab collabaration has a long history. Starting in 1990, the AANL (formerly known as YerPhI) -JLab partnership has not only gradually expanded and deepened, but also has great prospects and potential for further development. Over the past decades, armenian physicists participated in, and in some cases led, the design and construction of many devices needed for experiments, the collection and processing of experimental data, also offered physical themes and guided their implementation. The Armenian-American partnership is a unique opportunity to maintain and develop the direction of high energy and particle physics in Armenia. |
