The Jupiter Electron Scattering Program at Jefferson Lab

TL;DR

The paper introduces the JUPITER program at Jefferson Lab, a collaborative effort to study nucleon and nuclear structures using electron and neutrino beams, starting with an inclusive electron scattering experiment.

Contribution

It presents the new JUPITER collaboration and details its first experimental phase focusing on inclusive electron scattering from nuclear targets.

Findings

First data run scheduled for January 2005

Establishment of a collaborative framework between nuclear and high energy physics communities

Initiation of a new experimental program at Jefferson Lab

Abstract

JUPITER (Jlab Unified Program to Investigate nuclear Targets and Electroproduction of Resonances) is a new collaboration between the Nuclear Physics Electron Scattering and High Energy Physics Neutrino Scattering Communities to Investigate the Structure of Nucleons and Nuclei with Electron and Neutrino Beams. The first phase of JUPITER is Hall C experiment E04-001 on Inclusive Electron Scattering from Nuclear Targets. First data run of E04-001 is currently scheduled for January of 2005.
