Measurements of F_{2} and R=\sigma_{L}/\sigma_{T} on Nuclear Targets in the Nucleon Resonance Region

Understand

Jefferson Lab Experiment E04-001 used the Rosenbluth technique to measure R=\sigma_{L}/\sigma_{T} and F_{2} on nuclear targets.

• This experiment was part of a multilab effort to investigate quark-hadron duality and the electromagnetic and weak structure of the nuclei in the nucleon resonance region.
• In addition to the studies of quark-hadron duality in electron scattering on nuclear targets, these data will be used as input form factors in future analysis of neutrino data which investigate quark-hadron duality of the nucleon and nuclear axial structure functions.
• An important goal of this experiment is to provide precise data which to allow a reduction in uncertainties in neutrino oscillation parameters for neutrino oscillation experiments (K2K, MINOS).
