2022 JLAB REVIEW

2022 C1 Status Review of Tensor Spin Observables Experiments

Supporting Documents and Presentations

Support Document

The b1 and Azz collaborations ask the PAC 50 to remove the conditional from the experiments, under the statement that recent developments in spin 1 enhanced tensor polarizations have shown that a tensor polarization that at least (close to) 30% will be achieved under experimental conditions. The supporting document for this statement can be found here.
