Summary

Probe the Collins polarized fragmentation function of kaons

Provide complementary to pions info on the flavor and helicity dependence of quark transverse momentum distributions

Study the transverse polarization of quarks in the longitudinally polarized nucleon through measurements of the leading twist chiral-odd Ralston-Soper-Mulders-Tangerman distribution function.

Study higher twist effects and probe T-odd distributions in a wide range of Q2

Low energy electromagnetic processes, especially Møller scattering of beam electrons off atomic electrons are the main contributor to the background load in an open large acceptance spectrometer such as CLAS12.

The full event and background load has been measured with CLAS, e.g. for DVCS process at 5.7 GeV. The GEANT simulation reproduces hit occupancy on tracking chambers.

We used the calibrated simulation code to extrapolate to 11 GeV and simulate the same process at higher luminosity for CLAS12 situation.

This background was also studied in a full Geant4 simulation.

Comment: For deposited energy of 20 KeV RICH would see about 35 hits in 1μsec window, randomly distributed over ~20 m2 and uncorrelated with track in DC. This is a very conservative estimate as for electrons to be knocked out from the RICH radiator > 500 KeV energy deposition is needed.

Flavor Decomposition

Use double spin asymmetries for different targets and final state particles to extract the helicity distributions for different flavors

Sum over quark flavors

Extraction of kT-dependent distributions q+ (f1+g1) and q- (f1-g1) will require

unfolding of spin independent and spin dependent contributions

BBS/LSS no OAM
