CLAS12 and its initial Science Program at the Jefferson Lab Upgrade

Description

An overview of the CLAS12 detector is presented and the initial physics program after the energy-doubling of the Jefferson Lab electron accelerator. Construction of the 12 GeV upgrade project has started October 2008. A broad program has been developed to map the nucleon's 3-dimensional spin and flavor content through the measurement of deeply exclusive and semi-inclusive processes. Other programs include forward distribution function to large xB (le) 0.85 and of the quark and gluon polarized distribution functions, as well as nucleon ground state and transition form factors at high Q2.
