[Bonuslist] Abstract for Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector conference

[Gabriel CHARLES]

Dear BONuS collaborators,

  I would like to submit the following abstract for the conference 
Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector 2017 that will be held at Temple 
University. Please let me know if you have any comment or suggestion. 
Unless otherwise asked, I will submit Tuesday 14th.

Part of the experimental program in Hall B of the Jefferson Lab,
Virginia, USA is dedicated to studying neutron structure functions
using deep inelastic scattering on nuclei. For this purpose, the
BONuS12 experiment will detect low momentum recoil protons in
coincidence with scattered electrons. The protons will be detected
by a novel Radial Time Projection Chamber (RTPC)
using triple GEM foils for amplification while the electrons
will be detected by the CLAS12 spectrometer installed in Hall B. I
will present the status of the BONuS12 RTPC detector that will take
data within the next 2 years. I will detail the main improvements made
from the previous BONuS RTPC as well as the hardware and simulation
developments currently ongoing.

Have a nice day,
--
