TAzz Minutes

Meeting Minutes

2014-05-09 Proposal Meeting Minutes

• Need input from theorists

• On Thursday, Ellie, Doug, and Patricia? will have a meeting with Misak (SRC Group)

• Phone call will happen sometime Thursday, after Misak arrives at JLab
• Ask if he could write a section

• Ellie will get in touch with Mark about his work (S/D Group)

• Ask if he could write a section
• Mark, Ellie, and Donal will see how different wavefunctions affect Azz

• We need to be careful about what we call "short range"

• Short Range Correlations = Tensor Correlations
• Short Range NN Core = Repulsive NN Core

• Azz bridges the gap between t20 and b1

• b1 for x < 0.6, Azz for 0.6 < x < 2, t20 for 2 < x

• Dustin will help with systematics and updating the target section with a conservative "what we can do tomorrow" piece and an optimistic "what can we do 5 years from now if everything works" piece
• Ellie will double-check the statistics for Pzz=15% at 30 days of beam
• Karl will look into luminosity monitors

2014-04-18 Proposal Meeting Minutes

• Ellie showed the kinematics for 5 potential measurements in 24 PAC days
• For the PAC, it will be important not only to see what we can do with Pzz=30%, but also for Pzz=15%
• One thing that Doug and Patricia noted is that it probably makes more sense to really nail the plateau at Q^2~1.5, without question, and have that be our high-Q^2 point

• The lower Q^2 points are cheap compared to the high one

• Ellie will play with the kinematics a bit to find our plateau sweet spot

• The x>2 region is going to be important for getting a handle on the dilution, even though it's unphysical for the deuteron

• Doug is going to talk to Brad Sawatzky about getting us a JLab git repository
• The PAC42 submission deadline is June 2

• The joint Hall A/C meeting is on June 5-6, following the User's Group Meeting

• Ellie will contact Pete Markowitz about our intent to submit a proposal

• Putting together the proposal

• We are ahead of the game on kinematics, but need theory motivation for the experiment
• The talks from the Tensor Workshop need to be combed through for the interesting physics

• Karl and Ellie will go back through the talks to pull out interesting motivations

• Wally's talk will be useful for the low Q^2 points
• Misak's and Mark's talks will be useful for the high Q^2 point

• Doug, Karl, and Patricia are interested in moving forward, but we need to reach out to pick up more collaborators
• Next meeting in 1-2 weeks, depending on progress

• Fridays at 3:00pm is a good time for everyone
