Status of the BLAST experiment

  • 1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139 (United States)

Description

The BLAST experiment is beginning operation at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Laboratory. The experiment will study the spin dependent electro-magnetic interaction in few nucleon systems at momentum transfers between 0.1 and 1.0 GeV2. This will provide improved measurements of the nucleon form factors, particularly GEn, as well as study the structure of D and 3He. Other reaction channels such as pion production and inclusive scattering will also be studied. The experiment, physics goals, and current status are described briefly. (orig.)
