The equipment sought in this request will enhance the programme of research that has been supported with the Nuclear Physics Consolidate Grant,. which was awarded last year. We have selected two opportunities for developing the programme further: an upgraded focal plane detector for the Glasgow Photon Tagging spectrometer, located at the MAMI facility in Mainz, Germany; a UK contribution to a new experimental effort in Hall C, Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia (JLab).The focal plane detector is in need of an upgrade, since the detector components are gradually deteriorating over time. This refurbishment will also result in a factor of 5-10 increase in rate capability, which will allow a more ambitious programme of measurements in hadron structure and spectroscopy, themes that were highly rated in the previous grants round.The Hall C experimental proposal has been highly rated and approved by the international JLab PAC, and Dr Hamilton is leading this effort as a spokesperson of the proposal. This programme has already attracted funding of $1million from an NSF Major Research Initiative (MRI) grant, and our request is to provide the cooling system of an electromagnetic calorimeter, as well as part of a deflection magnet that is required to remove low-energy charged particle background.

该请求中寻求的设备将增强核物理综合拨款支持的研究计划。这是去年颁发的。我们选择了两个机会来进一步开发该计划：用于格拉斯哥光子标记光谱仪的升级焦平面探测器，位于德国美因茨的 MAMI 设施；英国对位于弗吉尼亚州纽波特纽斯的杰斐逊实验室 (JLab) C 厅的一项新实验所做的贡献。焦平面探测器需要升级，因为探测器组件随着时间的推移逐渐老化。此次翻新还将导致倍率能力提高 5-10 倍，这将允许在强子结构和光谱学方面开展更雄心勃勃的测量计划，这些主题在上一轮资助中受到高度评价。C 厅实验提案得到了国际 JLab PAC 的高度评价和批准，汉密尔顿博士作为该提案的发言人正在领导这项工作。该项目已经从 NSF 重大研究计划 (MRI) 拨款中吸引了 100 万美元的资金，我们的要求是提供电磁量热计的冷却系统，以及去除低能带电粒子背景所需的偏转磁铁的一部分。
