We measured the cross section and response functions (R_L, R_T, and R_LT) for the 16O(e,e'p) reaction in quasielastic kinematics for missing energies 25 <= E_miss <= 120 MeV at various missing ...momenta P_miss <= 340 MeV/c. For 25 < E_miss < 50 MeV and 1s1/2-state. At larger P_miss, the single-particle aspects are increasingly masked by more complicated processes. For E_miss > 60 MeV and P_miss > 200 MeV/c, the cross section is relatively constant. Calculations which include contributions from pion exchange currents, isobar currents and short-range correlations account for the shape and the transversity but only for half of the magnitude of the measured cross section.
We have measured the transverse asymmetry A(T') in 3He(e,e(')) quasielastic scattering in Hall A at Jefferson Laboratory with high precision for Q2 values from 0.1 to 0.6 (GeV/c)(2). The neutron ...magnetic form factor G(n)(M) was extracted based on Faddeev calculations for Q2 = 0.1 and 0.2 (GeV/c)(2) with an experimental uncertainty of less than 2%.
The ratio of the proton's elastic electromagnetic form factors was obtained by measuring the transverse and longitudinal polarizations of recoiling protons from the elastic scattering of polarized ...electrons with unpolarized protons. The ratio of the electric to magnetic form factor is proportional to the ratio of the transverse to longitudinal recoil polarizations. The ratio was measured over a range of four-momentum transfer squared between 0.5 and 3.5 GeV-squared. Simultaneous measurement of transverse and longitudinal polarizations in a polarimeter provides good control of the systematic uncertainty. The results for the ratio of the proton's electric to magnetic form factors show a systematic decrease with increasing four momentum squared, indicating for the first time a marked difference in the spatial distribution of charge and magnetization currents in the proton.
The deuteron elastic structure function A(Q{sup 2}) has been extracted in the range 0.7 < or = Q{sup 2} < or = 6.0 (GeV/c){sup 2} from cross section measurements of elastic electron-deuteron ...scattering in coincidence using the Hall A Facility of Jefferson Laboratory. The data are compared to theoretical models, based on the impulse approximation with the inclusion of meson-exchange currents, and to predictions of quark dimensional scaling and perturbative quantum chromodynamics.
The deuteron elastic structure function A(Q^2) has been extracted in the Q^2 range 0.7 to 6.0 (GeV/c)^2 from cross section measurements of elastic electron-deuteron scattering in coincidence using ...the Hall A Facility of Jefferson Laboratory.

As part of the spin physics program at Jefferson Lab, a Moeller polarimeter is being developed to measure the polarization of electron beams of energies 0.8 to 6 GeV. The device uses ...electron-electron scattering in a set-up in which the polarized beam is scattered from a polarized electron target. A unique signature for Moeller scattering is obtained using a series of three quadrupole magnets which provide angular selection, and a dipole magnet for energy analysis. Here, the design and commissioning of this polarimeter will be discussed along with future plans to use its small scattering angle capabilities to investigate physics in the very low q{sup 2} regime.
