[Alert_collaboration] abstract for APS DNP meeting 2025

[pilleux]

Dear all,
I would like to submit an abstract to give an overview of ALERT at the 
DNP meeting happening this fall in Chicago. Is anyone planning to also 
give a talk, so that we can coordinate? Mathieu said he would give a 
talk focusing on the AI work he did for example. Please see the abstract 
below and let me know if you have comments!
Thanks, Noémie.

Studying the Structure of Nucleons and Light Ions with ALERT and CLAS12 
at Jefferson Lab
In 2025, a Low Energy Recoil Tracker (ALERT) was installed with the 
CLAS12 spectrometer at Jefferson Lab to enable a broad physics program 
focused on the partonic structure of light nuclei. By tagging low-energy 
recoil ions in exclusive processes and deep inelastic scattering on 
deuterium and helium-4 targets, the experiment provides clean access to 
medium modifications of parton distributions. ALERT combines a drift 
chamber for tracking with a scintillator-based time-of-flight system for 
particle identification. This presentation will highlight the 2025 
data-taking and ongoing efforts to exploit the detector’s full 
capabilities.
