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.

本申请中所要求的设备将加强得到核物理巩固赠款支助的研究方案。这是去年颁发的。我们已经选择了两个机会，进一步发展该计划：一个升级的焦平面探测器的格拉斯哥光子标记光谱仪，位于美因茨，德国的MAMI设施;一个英国的贡献，在大厅C，杰斐逊实验室在弗吉尼亚州纽波特纽斯（JLab）的新的实验努力焦平面探测器是需要升级，因为探测器组件逐渐恶化随着时间的推移。这次翻新也将导致5-10倍的增长率的能力，这将允许一个更雄心勃勃的计划，在强子结构和光谱学的测量，这是在前一轮赠款的高度评价的主题。大厅C实验方案已被高度评价和批准的国际JLab PAC，和博士汉密尔顿是领导这项工作作为发言人的建议。该计划已经从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，以及消除低能带电粒子背景所需的偏转磁体的一部分。
