Polarized Helium-3 Experiments (E12-06-110/E12-06-121)
Experiment E12-06-110 (A1n) and E12-06-121 (d2n) are scheduled to run from Dec. 3, 2019 to May 6, 2020, with breaks for the X'mas shutdown and the target rotation. These two experiments focus on studies of the nucleon spin structure.
Summer 2019 - E12-06-101/E12-07-105 and E12-15-001
Experiments E12-06-101/E12-07-105 and E12-15-001 are scheduled to run in late June into mid July 2019.
Experiments E12-06-101/E12-07-105 are pion electroproduction experiments and experiment E12-15-001 is a virtual Compton scattering experiment.

Q1 | Current = 222.4*p - 7.709*p^2 + 0.6684*p^3 |
Q2 | Current = 3661*p/11 |
Q3 | Current = 2434*p/11 |
Dipole | Current = 3450*p/11 |
