22. 22 Page 22 Lead ( 208 Pb) Radius Experiment : PREX Elastic Scattering Parity-Violating Asymmetry Z 0 : Clean Probe Couples Mainly to Neutrons Applications : Nuclear Physics, Neutron Stars, Atomic Parity, Heavy Ion Collisions The Lead ( 208 Pb) Radius Experiment (PREX) determines the neutron radius to be larger than the proton radius by +0.35 fm (+0.15, -0.17). This result represents model-independent confirmation of the existence of a neutron skin, with relevance for neutron star calculations. Plans for follow-up experiment to reduce uncertainties by factor of 3. This can quantitatively pin down the symmetry energy, an important contribution to the nuclear equation of state. A neutron skin of 0.2 fm or more has implications for our understanding of neutron stars and their ultimate fate Rel. mean field Nonrel. skyrme PREX PREX data

55. 55 HPS in Hall B Forward, compact spectrometer/vertex detector identifies heavy photon candidates with invariant mass and decay length. EM Calorimeter provides fast trigger and electron ID. Small cross sections and high backgrounds demand large luminosities. HPS survives beam backgrounds by spreading them out maximally in time, capitalizing on 100% CEBAF duty cycle and employing high rate DAQ. All detectors are split above and below the beam to avoid the “wall of flame” from multiple Coulomb scattered primaries, bremsstrahlung, & degraded electrons.

57. 57 Jlab Future Clearly we have a exciting and growing program to search for new physics beyond the standard model. But we have a substantial program of important experiments exploring QCD - confinement mechanism - nucleon tomography And there are prospects for a future new facility: Electron Ion Collider (EIC) One more lecture…
