| Research Abstract |
The project of "Quark nuclear physics Quark Nuclear Physics with Polarized Photons in GeV Region" is subjected on the investigations of sub-nuclear structure. In this study, we will use high energy, intensive, monochromatic and polarized gamma-beams by Compton-back scattering of laser photons. We aim to build it at the 8 GeV storage ring (SPring8). The broad range experiments of intermediate and high energy nuclear physics will be done at this facility.
In order to start the project, we investigated the laser Compton-back scattering facilities at LEGS (Brookhaven National Laboratory, U.S.A.) and GRAAL (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, France). We discussed with people in these facilities on the difficulties of the installation of laser equipment on the storage ring and the photon tagging system. The investigation on high energy photo-nuclear experiments have been done at TJNAF (Jefferson Laboratory). A large acceptance spectrometer (CLAS) is preparing for the high energy photo-nuclear reaction experiments. It might be of value for reference for our project because its energy range. We also discuss about the polarized photon proposals at Jefferson Laboratory.
In this investigation, we could conclude that the uniqueness of high energy polarized photon probe will provide the new point of view on the nuclear and sub-nuclear structure. Usage of the polarized photon beam as an electromagnetic probe opens possibility to provide the wide range of the photonuclear physics experiments with polarized and unpolarized nuclei. Although we have began to prepare the experiments and proposals on the basis of this investigation, further discussions with researches must be continued.
