  30. Upgrade magnets and power supplies CHL-2 Enhance equipment in existing halls Add new hall 12 11 6 GeV CEBAF CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting

  31. Upgrade Beam Properties All polarized ! CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting

  32. The 12 GeV Upgrade: Complementary Equipment in Halls B & C, and a New Hall D C D 9 GeV tagged polarized photons and a 4 hermetic detector Super High Momentum Spectrometer (SHMS) at high luminosity and forward angles A B Retain HRS Pair for continuation of research in which resolution comparable to nuclear level spacing is essential. Use Hall to stage “one-of-a-kind” specialized experiments requiring uniqueapparatus. CLAS upgraded to higher (1035 cm-2s-1) luminosity and coverage CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting

  33. Photon physics after the 12 GeV upgrade (2012+) • Hall D: The GlueX experiment Dedicated coherent bremsstrahlung beam. Search for exotic mesons at Eg> 9 GeV • Hall B: CLAS-12 No planned tagger upgrade in base equipment. New torus magnet and detectors, emphasizing forward acceptance, electron beam experiments (GPDs) CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting

  34. Hall D (GlueX): Research Program • Search for Gluonic Excitations • Hybrid (qqg) spectrum expected between 1.5 and 2.5 GeV/c2 • Exotics do not mix with normal qq mesons • ALSO: • ss spectroscopy • Only five states established • Photon has a large virtual (ss) component • Other physics • KK threshold • Radiative decays of excited vector mesons - - CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting

  35. Photoproduction More likely to find exotic hybrid mesons using beams of photons. Lowest-mass hybrids predicted to be in JPC=1-+ nonet. Photon linear polarization constrains the production mechanism. CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting

  36. Ideal Photon Beam Energy for GlueX • Based on: • maintain sufficient photon flux/polarization (via coherent bremsstrahlung) • maintain sufficient meson yield for high mass (2.5 GeV) region • separate baryon from meson resonances Figure-of-merit (P2 x Ng) for M = 2.5 GeV and E0 = 12 GeV CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting

  44. CLAS12– 12 GeV Upgrade of Hall B • Hall B with CLAS12 is a major part of the upgrade to 12 GeV • PAC30 recommended approval of a broad initial physics program. • Many components are in R&D or design phases: Drift chambers, SVT, calorimeter, Cerenkov counter, TOF counters, s.c. magnets. • CD-2 review in summer 2007. CLAS12 CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting

  45. Future of the Hall B Tagger • Maximum E0 = 6.2 GeV at I = 2400 A • At 12 GeV operation, Hall B will have choice of 2.2, 4.4, 6.6, 8.8, 11 GeV. • Desirable to raise tagger capability to 6.6 GeV: new power supply, add yoke iron? • More speculative: Dump electrons in tagger yoke? (background test July 2007). • New end-point tagger under consideration – no detailed design, no funds in initial upgrade. CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting

  46. Summary • 2007-2011 Intensive program in N* photoproduction using polarized beams and frozen-spin polarized targets (butanol and HD) in Hall B. • After the 12 GeV upgrade: Exotic meson (gluonic excitations) program in Hall D. Future of photon physics in Hall B is uncertain. CB@MAMI Collaboration Meeting
