The Geant4 Monte-Carlo (GEMC) package is used to simulate the passage of particles through the various CLAS12 detectors. The geometry is implemented through a database of Geant4 volumes created ...either through the GEMC native API, by the CLAS12 geometry service, or imported from the CAD engineering model. The truth information is digitized with a plugin mechanism by routines specific to each detector and includes the use of the CLAS12 calibration database constants to produce both ADC and TDC response functions. Theoretical models that produce the generated events interface with GEMC through the LUND data format. The merging of simulated data with real random trigger data provides a mechanism to include both beam and electronic background into the simulation of generated events to accurately model beam data from the CLAS12 detector. The performance of simulation is demonstrated by comparison with the experimental data.

The investigation of the partonic degrees of freedom beyond collinear approximation (toward a 3D description of the hadron structure) has been gaining increasing interest in the last decade. SIDIS ...reactions offer a rich phenomenology convoluting TMD parton distribution and fragmentation functions. In the recent years, several first measurements have been made that provide new insights on peculiar aspects of the parton dynamics, i.e. orbital motion and spin-orbits effects. Beyond spin asymmetries, unpolarized measurements, with their high-statistics data samples and natural connections among different fields of investigation, challenge our comprehension of TMD phenomena and are crucial for the TMD formalism assessment.

The investigation of the partonic degrees of freedom beyond collinear approximation (3D description) has been gained increasing interest in the last decade. The Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory, ...after the CEBAF upgrade to 12 GeV, will become the most complete facility for the investigation of the hadron structure in the valence region by scattering of polarized electron off various polarized nucleon targets. A compendium of the planned experiments is here presented.
Providing strong magnetic holding fields while at the same time guaranteeing shielding from unwanted external fields is a key requirement for the accumulation, preservation, and transport of ...nuclear-polarized materials: it is a crucial achievement for its exploitation in fusion test facilities and particle physics. High-temperature bulk superconducting materials represent an innovative and promising solution, as they are easily machinable and can be cooled by a coldhead. This work considers a bulk MgB 2 superconducting hollow cylinder, and the successful preliminary studies, performed by measuring trapped fields in the order of 1 T in its center, encouraged us to upgrade the prototype apparatus for deep insight and knowledge. The new system allows working at a lower temperature of 8 K, exchanging cylinders and returning to working conditions in 1 day, and mapping the transverse fields along the radial coordinate (in 11 mm) and along the symmetry axis (in 48 mm). Then, it allows us to find the proper geometry and the production procedure for its use in a fusion test facility. The commissioning of the upgraded system provides results already useful for polarized fusion fuel, for instance, as a holding field for recombined hyper-polarized molecules from the recombination of atomic polarized beams, and it also gives the possibility of investigating the use of MgB 2 in polarized nuclear targets.
A large area ring-imaging Cherenkov detector has been designed to provide clean hadron identification capability in the momentum range from 3 GeV/c to 8 GeV/c for the CLAS12 experiments at the ...upgraded 12 GeV continuous electron beam accelerator facility of Jefferson Lab to study the 3D nucleon structure in the yet poorly explored valence region by deep-inelastic scattering, and to perform precision measurements in hadronization and hadron spectroscopy. The adopted solution foresees a novel hybrid optics design based on an aerogel radiator, composite mirrors and densely packed and highly segmented photon detectors. Cherenkov light will either be imaged directly (forward tracks) or after two mirror reflections (large angle tracks). The preliminary results of individual detector component tests and of the prototype performance at test-beams are reported here.

QCD factorisation for semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at low transverse momentum in the current-fragmentation region has been established recently, providing a rigorous basis to ...study the transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) distribution and fragmentation functions of partons from semi-inclusive DIS data using different spin-dependent and spin-independent observables. The main focus of the experiments were the measurements of various single- and double-spin asymmetries in hadron electro-production (
with unpolarised, longitudinally and transversely polarised targets. The joint use of a longitudinally polarised beam and longitudinally and transversely polarised targets allowed to measure double-spin asymmetries related to leading-twist distribution functions describing the transverse-momentum distribution of longitudinally and transversely polarised quarks in a longitudinally and transversely polarised nucleons (helicity and worm-gear TMDs). The single-spin asymmetries measured with transversely polarised targets, provided access to specific leading-twist parton distribution functions: the transversity, the Sivers function and the so-called “pretzelosity” function. In this review we present the current status and some future measurements of TMDs worldwide.
