2. Early Career Internal Review Executive Summary/Abstract The structure of the nucleon is one of the main research axis at Jefferson Laboratory. General Parton Distributions (GPDs) are a generalization of the concept of Form Factor and parton distributions which are defined as limit of General Parton Distributions. The GPDs give an additional spatial dimension to our knowledge of the partons in the nucleon. The Hall A experiment was able to measure of absolute cross section for DVCS using a calorimeter associated with Flash ADCs this is the most direct measurement to access GPDs. The experience from the previous experiments showed that the background in the calorimeter was a limiting factor for resolution and luminosity. Improvement in calorimetry radiation and background hardnessness is crucial for the 12 GeV program.

3. Early Career Internal Review Specific Scientific Aims Continue the Lead Fluoride PbF2 effort for 12 GeV Hall A experiment Upgrade electronics to reduce effect of background on resolution Investigate possibility of use of gaseous detector as replacement of PMT to eliminate PMT aging issue due to background. Investigate sampling calorimeter using Micro Pattern Gaseous.By design this kind of detector is less sensitive to low energy background but energy resolution at JLab range should be determined an optimized. R&D useful for higher energies too. Build full size calorimeter and evaluate performance in beam and compare to PbF 2 with parasitic data taking and during Hall A DVCS experiment.

4. Early Career Internal Review Research Impact and Benefits Impact and benefits for Jefferson Lab Improved quality of and efficiency of data taking, for any experiment using calorimetry at 12 GeV and beyond by providing radiation hardness, low downtime and an increased in luminosity treatment of background for improved resolution in high background conditions. This will open the way to studies of low counting rate channels such as Double DVCS or J/psi production Impact and benefits for Nuclear Physics High radiation hardness calorimetry will be useful for many other experiment requiring calorimetry in hostile environment such as SOLiD program in Hall A and EIC and other high energy facilities. Impact and benefits for Office of Science Gaseous photodector can also be a cheaper alternative to PMTs which could be used in medical application. Expertise with Micromegas detectors
