Status of the Jefferson Lab RSS Experiment (E01-006)

Experiment E01-006 ran in Hall C of Jefferson Laboratory, Newport News, Virginia, for six weeks in early 2002. It featured a continuous beam of polarized electrons at 5.759 GeV hitting a polarized target of solid ammonia. Two types of ammonia, ¹⁵NH₃ and ¹⁵ND₃, were used so that proton and deuteron structure functions could be measured. Additionally, the polarization axis of the target was changed during the experiment to enable measurement of both longitudinal and transverse structure functions. Details and early analysis results will be presented.
