Scientific Mission
In 1985:In 1985:
How are hadrons constructed from quarks and gluons of QCD?
What is the QCD basis for the nucleon-nucleon force?
Where are the limits of our understanding of nuclear structure? Where does the transition from nucleon-meson to QCD quark-gluon description occur?
Today also include:Today also include:
What is the mechanism of confinement? How does Chiral symmetry breaking occur?

With the upgraded CEBAF, a linearly polarized photon beam, and the GlueX detector, Jefferson Lab will be uniquely poised to: - discover these states- map out their spectrum - measure their properties
Searching for Gluonic Excitations in Hall D
38
For many physics topics such as GPDs, valence quark structure, PVDIS etc., 6 GeV experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of measurements in a regime that we have barely touched.
For some topics such as Moller and searching for gluonic degree of freedom, we have not yet started.
Our pursuit of these topics rely on the higher beam energy and more sophisticated equipment of the JLab 12 GeV Upgrade.

“We recommend completion of the 12 GeV Upgrade at Jefferson Lab. The Upgrade will enable new insights into the structure of the nucleon, the transition between the hadronic and quark/gluon descriptions of nuclei, and the nature of confinement.”

TMDs are complementary to GPDs in that they allow to construct 3-D images of the nucleon in momentum space
TMDs are connected to orbital angular momentum (OAM) in the nucleon wave function – for a TMD to be non-zero OAM must be present.
TMDs can be studied in experiments measuring azimuthal
asymmetries or moments.
Several proposals have been accepted by PAC34 that propose to upgrade CLAS12 with improved Kaon identification.

Transverse Momentum Dependence of Semi-Inclusive Pion Production
• Not much is known about the orbital motion of partons• Significant net orbital angular momentum of valence quarks implies significant transverse momentum of quarks
Pt = pt + z kt + O(kt
2/Q2)
Final transverse momentum of the detected pion Pt arises from convolution of the struck quark transverse momentum kt with the transverse momentum generated during the fragmentation pt.
z = E/
pT ~ < 0.5 GeV optimal for studies as theoretical framework for Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering has been well developed at small transverse momentum
Emerging new area of study

The road to orbital motionThe difference between the +, –, and K+ asymmetries reveals that quarks and anti-quarks of different flavor are orbiting in different ways within the proton.
Swing to the left, swing to the right: A surprise of transverse-spin experiments
Illustration of the possible correlation between the internal motion of an up quark and the direction in which a positively-charged pion (ud) flies off.-
PT-dependences of the double and single-spin asymmetries provide important input for studies of flavor and helicity dependence of quark transverse momentum dependent distributions.
e.g., lattice: Higher probability to find a d-quark at large kT
Also higher probability to find a quark anti-aligned with proton spin at large kT (not shown)
