Strong interaction physics at the luminosity frontier with 22 GeV electrons at Jefferson Lab

Here, the purpose of this document is to outline the developing scientific case for pursuing an energy upgrade to 22 GeV of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF, or JLab). This document was developed with input from a series of workshops held in the period between March 2022 and April 2023 that were organized by the JLab user community and staff with guidance from JLab management (see Sec. 10). The scientific case for the 22 GeV energy upgrade leverages existing or already planned Hall equipment and world-wide uniqueness of CEBAF high-luminosity operations.

Cluster structure of light nuclei

We review recent studies of the cluster structure of light nuclei within the framework of the algebraic cluster model (ACM) for nuclei composed of k α-particles and within the framework of the cluster shell model (CSM) for nuclei composed of k α-particles plus x additional nucleons. The calculations, based on symmetry considerations and thus for the most part given in analytic form, are compared with experiments in light cluster nuclei. The comparison shows evidence for Z 2 , D 3h and T d symmetry in the even–even nuclei 8 Be (k = 2), 12 C (k = 3) and 16 O (k = 4), respectively, and for the associated double groups Z' 2 and D' 3h in the odd nuclei 9 Be, 9 B (k = 2, x = 1) and 13 C (k = 3, x = 1), respectively.
