Professor Puckett named co-spokesperson of experiment E12-07-109

Professor Puckett has officially joined experiment E12-07-109 in Jefferson Lab’s Hall A as a co-spokesperson. The experiment will measure the proton’s electromagnetic form factor ratio μGEp/GMp using the polarization transfer method up to a momentum transfer Q= 12 (GeV/c)2. Professor Puckett was invited to become a spokesperson as a result of his expertise in the polarization transfer method and his previous and intended contributions to the successful completion of the experiment.

The figure compares the expected precision of the data from E12-07-109 (blue filled squares) to existing data and various theoretical predictions.

New publication in Physical Review C

Professor Puckett was the lead author on the recent full-length publication titled “Polarization Transfer Observables in Elastic Electron-Proton Scattering at Q= 2.5, 5.2, 6.8, and 8.5 GeV2“, published as Physical Review C, 96, 055203 (2017). This was a combined archival publication for two high-profile experiments that ran in Jefferson Lab’s Hall C, commonly known as GEp-III and GEp-2γ.
