E12-14-009: We propose to extract the ratio of the electric form factor (G_E) of 3He and 3H from the measured ratio of the elastic-scattering cross sections at E_beam = 1.1 GeV. Measurements at low Q^2 ( < 0.1 GeV^2) will allow accurate extraction of
G_E with minimal contributions from the magnetic form factor (G_M) and Coulomb corrections. From this data we will extract the difference between the charge radii for 3He and 3H. This short experiment, 1.5 days, will utilize the left Hall A high resolution spectrometer and the one-time availability of a 1 kCi tritium target at Jefferson Lab which has been approved for the E12-10-103, E12-11-112 and E12-14-011 experiments.
Cross sections for uc{6}{Li}($gamma$,$gamma$) uc{6}{Li} have been measured at the High Intensity Gamma-Ray Source (HIGS) and the sensitivity of these cross sections to the nucleon isoscalar polarizabilities was studied. Data were collected using a q
uasi-monoenergetic 86 MeV photon beam at photon scattering angles of 40$^{circ}$--160$^{circ}$. These results are an extension of a previous measurement at a lower energy. The earlier work indicated that the uc{6}{Li}($gamma$,$gamma$) uc{6}{Li} reaction at 60 MeV provides a means of extracting the nucleon polarizabilities; this work demonstrates that the sensitivity of the cross section to the polarizabilities is increased at 86 MeV. A full theoretical treatment is needed to verify this conclusion and produce values of the polarizabilities.
