Hi everyone,

This week's nuclear/hadronic physics seminar will take place on Thursday 
at 3:30pm in Small Hall 122. Kalyan Allada, postdoctoral fellow at MIT, 
will be presenting his research on electron scattering of transversely 
polarized nuclear targets at Jefferson Lab. The title of his seminar 
will be "A Transverse Look into the Nucleon." See below for the full 
abstract.

Please let me know if you would like to meet with Kalyan after the 
seminar, or join for dinner.

Cheers,

Wouter

Schedule of future fall nuclear physics seminars:

Dec 3: Ciprian Gal (UVA), parity violation results with the Qweak experiment

Title: A Transverse Look into the Nucleon


Abstract:

Our understanding of the nucleon spin structure is still far from 
complete. Although we know a lot about the quark momentum and helicity 
distributions in the nucleon, we are just beginning to understand the 
quark transverse spin distributions. Quark transverse-spin and 
transverse-momentum effects in the nucleon are observed in a variety of 
processes in the high-energy e-p and p-p collisions. Semi-inclusive Deep 
Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) process is one of the powerful ways to 
measure these effects in electron scattering experiments. In particular, 
the single and double spin asymmetries (SSA/DSA) obtained from SIDIS 
reaction on a polarized nucleon target are sensitive to 
transverse-momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs). I 
will present some recent results of SSA and DSA from the JLab Hall-A 
transversity experiment which measured these asymmetries in the 
valence-x region for charged hadrons using a polarized helium-3 target. 
I will also discuss plans for the future precision experiments at JLab 
using polarized proton and helium-3 targets and the proposed Solenoidal 
Large Intensity Device (SoLID) in Hall-A. These experiments will cover a 
wide range of kinematics in all four dimensions (x,Q^2,p_T,z), which is 
very crucial for extracting TMDs and to provide a 3D image of nucleon in 
momentum space.
