The ratio of the proton's elastic electromagnetic form factors, G(E(p))/G(M(p)), was obtained by measuring P(t) and P(l), transverse longitudinal recoil proton polarization, respectively. For e-->p-->ep-->, G(E(p))/G(M(p)) is proportional to P(t)/P(l). Simultaneous measurement P(l) in a polarimeter provides good control systematic uncertainty. results for show decrease as Q2 increases from 0.5 3.5 GeV2, indicating first time definite difference spatial distribution charge magnetization...

This Letter shows quantitatively that the magnitude of EMC effect measured in electron deep inelastic scattering at intermediate x(B), 0.35≤x(B)≤0.7, is linearly related to short range correlation (SRC) scale factor obtained from inclusive x(B)≥1. The observed phenomenological relationship used extract ratio deuteron free pn pair cross sections and F(2)(n)/F(2)(p), neutron proton structure functions. We speculate because both SRC are dominated by high virtuality (high momentum) nucleons nucleus.

We present the first measurements of $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{e}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}ep\ensuremath{\gamma}$ cross section in deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) regime and valence quark region. The ${Q}^{2}$ dependence (from 1.5 to $2.3\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}$) helicity-dependent indicates twist-2 dominance DVCS, proving that generalized parton distributions (GPDs) are accessible experiment at moderate ${Q}^{2}$. helicity-independent is also measured...
We investigated simultaneously the 12C(e,e'p) and 12C(e,e'pp) reactions at Q2=2 (GeV/c)2, xB=1.2, in an (e, e'p) missing-momentum range from 300 to 600 MeV/c. At these kinematics, with a missing momentum greater than Fermi of nucleons nucleus far delta excitation, short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations are predicted dominate reaction. For (9.5+/-2)% events, recoiling partner proton was observed back-to-back vector, experimental signature correlations.
Precise measurements of the proton electromagnetic form factor ratio $R = \mu_p G_E^p/G_M^p$ using polarization transfer method at Jefferson Lab have revolutionized understanding nucleon structure by revealing strong decrease $R$ with momentum $Q^2$ for $Q^2 \gtrsim 1$ GeV$^2$, in disagreement previous extractions from cross section measurements. In particular, results exposed limits applicability one-photon-exchange approximation and highlighted role quark orbital angular structure. The...
