3He(e,e’pp)n Summary•Analysis - follow the peaks

• pn < 250 MeV/c: pp ≈ 90o rescattering dominated• pN > 250 MeV/c

• Peaks at corners of Dalitz plots (T1, T2 < 0.2)• Cut pleading(perp) < 300 MeV/c: reduce leading N FSI

•Results:• NN pair is back-to-back• Small ptotal along q• Isotropic• Momentum distributions similar for 2.2 and 4.7 GeV• Moderate agreement with theory• pp to pn pair ratio increases with Ptotal

• 3N correlations???

•We have measured distorted correlated pairs!

Extraction of the Nuclear Structure Function F2 From E2a Data

Mikhail Osipenko

Structure functions agree with world data and at different beam energies. CLAS data dramatically increase kinematical coverage.

Analysis of Pion Production in eA – for “neutrino engineering”Melanie Day, Hyupwoo Lee, Steve Manly - Univ. of Rochester

Idea is to measure basic quantities (like differential pion cross sections) on different A to facilitate tuning of nuclear effects in neutrino experiment simulations - quite important for current/future high precision neutrino expts.

Have talked about it for a few years, so far only able to do “summer student” research on the problem.

Now have two neutrino grad students starting to do the dirty work necessary to actually make a measurement/paper.

Talking to experts on acceptance, radcorr, normalization, etc., hoping to avoid ‘reinventing the wheel’.

Making data plots with eg2 data (D2 and C), learning subtleties with GSIM, looking for pion generator/model, starting to look at normalization.

Nuclear Dependence of K0 Hadronization

Aji DanielQuark Propagation and Hadron Formation – Measure the space-time properties of hadron formation.

Focus on the formation time thf; the time for

the pre-hadron to evolve into a fully-dressed hadron (C, Fe, Pb targets).

Nuclear Dependence of K0 Hadronization

Use the π+π- decay channel to reconstruct the K0.

Additional cuts on the pion vertex time and the trigger time

To do.
