Izzy,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I looked over your slides and things look quite good. A couple of comments from my side:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) You should say that the electron beam was longitudinally polarized.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2) The systematic uncertainties are shown but you have not given any indication of what</div>
<div class="">sources contribute to this uncertainty. Could you include a table with the major contributions?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">3) In your description of CLAS12, you have not said anything about the Moller polarimeter</div>
<div class="">system in Hall B. Perhaps that should be explicitly stated.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">4) You might note that the Dec. 2018 RG-K run was just a short “opportunistic” run that</div>
<div class="">amounted to only ~10% of the approved RG-K beam time. This is important to note given the</div>
<div class="">current statistical limitations (which lead to larger bin sizes) of your data analysis.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">5) You could mention on your final summary slide what the next steps in your analysis are</div>
<div class="">and plans for publication.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Regards,</div>
<div class="">Daniel<br class="">

<div class="">Dear HSWG members,<br class="">
<br class="">
I am planning to present beam spin asymmetry results using RGK at the upcoming ATHOS conference from May 28 - June 1, 2024. Justin approached RGK group and Annalisa for talks. The slides and abstract for this presentation are attached for your review.<br class="">
<br class="">
These results were previously shown internally at the March CLAS Collaboration meeting. As per Bryan's advice, I am circulating the slides and abstract to the HSWG to receive comments and suggestions before proceeding with the presentation.<br class="">
<br class="">
Please note that all plots containing CLAS12/RGK data have been marked as "preliminary."<br class="">
<br class="">
I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions you may have regarding the content of the presentation.<br class="">
<br class="">
All the best,<br class="">
<br class="">

Exclusive $\eta$ Electro-Production Beam Spin Asymmetry Measurements using CLAS12 at Jefferson Lab<br class="">
<br class="">
The exploration of nucleon structure and electromagnetic transitions from ground state to excited state is a cornerstone of nuclear physics research. Meson electro-production experiments have opened new avenues for investigating these phenomena, particularly
in the 12 GeV era at Jefferson Lab with the CLAS12 spectrometer. The $\eta N$ final states, accessible only through isospin $I = 1/2$ resonances, provide a unique tool for studying nucleon excitations. By simplifying the analysis and enabling a cleaner extraction
of resonance properties compared to the extensively studied $\pi N$ final states, $\eta$ electro-production offers a complementary approach to unraveling the structure of excited nucleons. This work presents the first-ever measurement of the beam spin asymmetry
(BSA) in exclusive $\eta$ electro-production, covering a previously unexplored kinematic region with $1.6 \leq W \leq 2.2$ GeV. The BSA is extracted from the CLAS12 data using a comprehensive analysis framework that carefully considers the statistical limitations
of the data set. The results are compared to predictions from theoretical models, such as the J"{u}lich-Bonn-Washington (JBW) and MAID, as well as compared to previously published cross-section and spin observable results from CLAS, and SLAC. Notably, the
extracted BSA exhibits discrepancies with the model predictions, highlighting the potential for refining theoretical descriptions of nucleon resonances and their electromagnetic couplings through the incorporation of these new data. The high-precision data
obtained in this previously unmeasured kinematic region now serve as valuable input for theorists to refine their models.<br class="">
