The (e, e 0 p) reaction was studied on targets of C, Fe, and Au at momentum transfers squared Q 2 of 0.6, 1.3, 1.8, and 3.3 GeV 2 in a region of kinematics dominated by quasifree electron-proton scattering. Missing energy and missing momentum distributions are reasonably well described by plane wave impulse approximation calculations with Q 2 and A dependent corrections that measure the attenuation of the final state protons. [S0031-9007 (98) The (e, e 0 p) reaction with nearly free electron-proton kinematics (quasifree) has proven to be a valuable tool to study the propagation of nucleons in the nuclear medium [1][2][3]. The relatively weak interaction of the electron with the nucleus allows the electrons to penetrate the nuclear interior and knock out protons. These studies complement nucleon-induced measurements of proton propagation in nuclei which give more emphasis to the nuclear surface. This paper reports the first results of a systematic study of the quasifree knockout of protons of 300-1800 MeV kinetic energy from carbon, iron, and gold targets. This energy range includes the minimum of the nucleon-nucleon (N-N) total cross section, the rapid rise in this cross section with energy above the pion production threshold, and extends to the long plateau in the energy dependence of the N-N total cross section. These features of the N-N interaction would be expected to be reflected in the energy dependence of attenuation of protons as they pass 5072 0031-9007͞98͞80(23)͞5072(5)$15.00
Gas targets are often used at accelerator facilities. A design of
high-pressure gas cells that are suitable for hydrogen and helium isotopes at
relatively high electron beam currents is presented. In particular, we consider
rare gas targets, $^3$H$_2$ and $^3$He. In the design, heat transfer and
mechanical integrity of the target cell are emphasized. ANSYS 12 was used for
the thermo-mechanical studies of the target cell. Since the ultimate goal in
this study was to design a gas target for use at the Jefferson Laboratory
(JLab), particular attention is given to the typical operating conditions found
there. It is demonstrated that an aluminum alloy cell can meet the required
design goals
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
