HERMES in 2002
Gerard van der Steenhoven, Dec. ‘02The origin
of proton spin
HERMES run II (2002-2006)• Transversity:
– Spin structure of thenucleon without gluons:
• Generalized Parton Distributions:– Orbital angular momentum– Parton correlations
Transverse magnetic fieldorienting the spin of thetarget protons in a directionperpendicular to the e+-beam.
• The origin of spin:
• Three leading order distributions:
momentum carried by quarks
longitudinal quark spin, lattice QCD:
transverse quark spin, lattice QCD:
½ = ½ q + G + Lq
[“Traffic Lights” – P.J. Mulders]
Spin Physics: Transversity
HERMES data taking in ‘02
Goal for March 2003: 1.3 Million DIS events

• Purpose:– Generate trigger in case
of excessive beam losses– Trigger to HERA kicker– Monitor radiation
• Custom built• Operational
